That parrot seems much better humored than my mouthy one here! And they can move fast on the ground - I'm a witness. Concerning the last lines of your first piece, never enough, dear CCT, never enough.

Loved all of this and just caught up with the comments as well.

Something about rather having ripe grapes than raisins, for some reason that line in particular speaks to me. I suppose I'll think about it a while, and wonder what caught me. 

Friend of mine used to put grapes in the freezer for summer snacks, like bites of sherbet.

I'm loving the personification of the parrot. Very cute.

Re: Pat

Well Pat I can hardly tap the keyboard I think it is some kind of rheumatics. Probably through punishing work and remembering the old uns 'You'll suffer from that when you be as wise as I be.

Re: Good afternoon Sherri

Well I could never afford to have more than one glass when I was young.

Re: Sherri

Well some parrots I have seen don't appear to be that clever,'who's a pretty boy then?'

Re: Good Morning Goldiec

I have never drunk iced tea, I have drunk hot tea and cold tea, I don't like it with sugar these days .Yes Zoey would use magic I expect, but don't chance it.

Good Morning

I wonder if Zoey my fire-breathing dragon could handle a crocodile?  I've never thought about it before.  I hope you are staying cool during the heat of the day.  I always think we should drink lots of water and tea but during this heatwave, I think iced tea is my drink of choice in the middle of the day.

I have to agree. Riding on a hungry crocodile is not going to have a good outcome for man or beast.

Good afternoon

Pink champagne is a known culprit of the morning after headache.

I love your introduction here.  LOL
Also, in Florida I've seen alligator pits full of alligators and what they can do and I'm certain I would not want to ride on one of them, or a crocodile either.
