Need all the following !!!

I certainly don't rate myself as any profound Ornithologist, but good ol' Google has enlightened me with regards to the Golden Finches that have taken up residence in the branches of the Maples that brush against my small but adequate balcony. With the Maples in full leaf now, the bird life has increased and between the train sounds, traffic noise and general London buzz sounds finally we get some bird life in the city !!! Google says...... As with most birds, the male is by far the prettiest of the pair. Against all odds of the Greek wind Gods, this pair have been trying in earnest to build themselves a home for the spring and ever-threatening summer. Problem is...... Both are beautiful and both look like males, so I have named my new house guests " Peter & Paul ". Thinking right out of the box now, and loving my thought processes, makes a good book and fantasy read for the two urban, male , finches trying to set up home and start a family - Is there a sperm donation clinic for Finches nearby ? Or do they do what Maddona and Angelina did and fly to a nearby county, wipe the lice outa the babies eyes, pay a token fee and take babies home ???? Or is there an egg syndicate / Mafia going on right under my nose ? Food for thought ! In the mean time though, I am just going to enjoy the simple beauty of having some tiny wildlife nesting so close ! Will keep you posted on P & P 's family adoption process. The past week or so has seen me gaining a little more mobility, muscle wise, and an inherent attitude to push myself further to the limits in my ongoing quest to find my legs again. Home wise, things have been running really smoothly ! Having had Eugene at the helm for a three week stretch has been amazing ! No deviation from regimes, total dedication to my rather strict routine, and as irritating as it can be, it is at the end of the day...... All for my benefit ! Gotta love him, and the compassion he has for his subject ! Me !! So, we have a good team, apart from the one Jeeves that I am trying to replace for a less complicated carer who continually looks for the short cuts, and has toooo many personal issues to work through. This, will happen, and my pro-active approach in doing so will complete the circle in time ! Last weekend saw myself meeting a friend for a catch up and a few drinks in my old favourite area called Soho. In my legs of past days, this eclectic area of " anything " goes, loads of bars, sex shops, eateries, Funtime drag shows etc etc etc has been a stage drop of many a great time. Heidi's 50th, was probably the last time I was there, where I managed to get us invited to a private club ( whilst having a cig outside ) where we danced until the wee hours of the morning !. My return saw a mixed emotion of self pity, hatred of my condition, u yet and sel fulfilling of worth when barren, patron etc recognised me and were more than eager to help me up stairs etc to gain entry. Our last port of call was the Admiral Duncan pub. Once the target of a nail bomb - years ago, and one of the longest remaining bars. On arrival, the bouncer asked if I would prefer to be indoors ?, but as the sun was out I responded accordingly. He told me that the previous bar had called ahead offering their ramp for me to gain access !! PEOPLE, I am back !!! Leaving Soho, to make my way home, proved frustrating and complicated ! Rameez at the helm, shouting and screaming at hoards of tourists to get out of the way, " scuz uuus " etc etc proved frivolous ! We decided that a loud speaker would be the answer ! Got home, straight onto the net and ordered one ! Awaiting delivery and will definitely let you know the outcome !! Should be loads of fun...... I did post on FB my positive response to my assessment a Alcatraz , my consultant being very happy with the progress of this rebuilding of the body. I will spend a day with the OT's and Physio's, and a decision will be made as to when my next few weeks of intensive therapy will happen. This will evolve another 2 - 3 week admittance to Alcatraz - a thought that churns my weakened stomach muscles, but part of the long term recovery process - My God, I am lucky enough to be considered for further therapy, and I need to remember that ! On a more serious note ! And given the situation that I am in, I need all of you to please follow my blog, and get it out there !! Social media is such a positive thing. I am planning a " challenge ", need funding and sponsorship ! This is NOT an appeal to you as followers, but I am looking at crossing the UK in my chair to raise awareness of SCI, and in particular raising money for kids with this life debilitating condition. I KNOW I can make a difference !! As always, posted and sent with ongoing good health wishes ! G
