Monday blues

'Tis a gloomy day. The people at work are not feeling too good because of certain misunderstandings; I had a depressing conversation with Jase last night (phDs are NOT good for the soul.); and the weather outside certainly matches the atmosphere inside. On the up side of things- I'm hoping that the weather would make it quiet in the clinic later.

Polly absolutely hates me. Took her to Dale's home (kind new fosterer..;) last evening, and for the next half hr or so, he managed to stroke her beak and back surprisingly effortlessly. But whenever I tried to do likewise, she'd lunge visciously to attack!! It was an amazing phenomenon. Apparently she does the same to the girls in the clinic...but even if she really were a sexist avian, it still totally puzzles me how she differentiates us females from the males. Pheromones? Appearances? It can't be voice because I was trying my best to remain silent whilst approaching her. Hm...God's creations... marvellous and strange indeed.

And Discus fish!! Never knew they were so pretty. :)
