Lots of news this week from me. We have adopted this male Cockatiel as his elderly owner has gone into a care home. He didn't have a name so we have named him Hooligan. So far he's been pretty quiet but that's probably because he doesn't know us. Hopefully in time he will be a bit more talkative and noisy.
I was at one of our local stores, The Warehouse and noticed that their Christmas displays are up. Is it too early for this? Being November I think so. Mind you I am happy that there is no Christmas music being played just yet.
And this bunch of lettuce is what I harvested from my small vege garden. It's been so yummy putting bits and pieces into my lunch that I take to work. Speaking of work last week I handed in my notice to my manager. I've been doing supermarket retail for about 5 years now and working the hours of 12pm to 9pm has been pretty regular for me so I'm at the point where I'm a little bit over it. I am starting in a new job on New Year's day at our local RSA (returned services association like for veterans) doing barwork and admin duties which will make a nice welcome change and the hours are pretty good too.
You know how sometimes it's not what you know but who you know? Two people from the local RSA come into work regularly to buy meat packs for their raffles and a while back I got talking to 1 of them who said he was leaving. I mentioned that I was interested in working there and the next day he came back and asked me to go and see his manager which I did who then offered me a job there, so it's worked out quite well. I'm excited for a change.

That is exciting. A whole different job and new workmates. Christmas is well and truly here. I tried to get a Christmas slot at a supermarket to collect the meat I wanted to find they had no availability nor did they have the meat I wanted! 7 weeks before Christmas and I thought I would be too early not too late.
Congratulations! The new job sounds so much better. Hope you're happy there.
Xmas bits and pieces have started appearing here but not enough to get excited about. I can wait!
Hooligan, great name. Hope he doesn't live up to it lol
I must sound like Scrooge but I object to having the commercial aspects of Christmas shoved at us for months. The religious aspect is where my focus lies.
Thanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2023/11/my-happy-places.html and good luck with the new job!
Yes it should be december before cristmastree comes out from the hidden place
What a great name for the cockatiel, hopefully he will love his new home. Congrats on the new job. Change is good, hope you like and enjoy it.
Congrats on the new job - I hope it goes well and you enjoy it. Shame that when people go into care homes their non-human companions cannot go with them. Lucky Hooligan that he has someone to take him in and give him a good home. (He can torment the cats....)
Congrats, Amy!
Looking forward to seeing more photos of Hooligan.
Hugs and blessings!
Congrats on the new job. Hope it works out well for you. I'm counting the days to December 1st as I don't let myself put up decorations any earlier. Although I always want to!
Once the cockatiel starts talking you will ask him to shut up!
The cocktail looks so cute!
...Christmas items started showing up in stores here in the beginning of September. Your lettuce looks GREAT!
Too early for X-mas deco fer (sic) sure. Maybe you can teach that creature to sing X-mas song..
Hooligan is some name, LOL.
Christmas-stuff is in the grocery-stores since September, I kid you not.
Big yay on your new job - all the best wishes it´ll be fun!
Congratulations on the new job, hope it will work out well for you.
Congrats on the new job and the new pet!
You are lucky they aren't playing the holiday music yet. They are here!
Very cute.
