links and a parrot

In case you don't follow me on the instagrams, a guy sat beside me on the bus yesterday with a parrot in his lap and he eventually let me hold it after taking these pictures. It's a long bus ride.

"I brought him into Lulu Lemon today and he sat on all the girls' shoulders."
"Oh yeah."
"He really loves attention from girls."

Yeah pal, I can see that "the parrot" loves the attention.

Thanks Nubby, Courtney, Alycia, Sarah Von, Suzy, Kellie, Clare, Gala and Danielle.

I think these posts can show a lot about a person; what their current interests and moods are probably dictates what links they find interesting enough to share. So...let me see, this week I must be obsessed with being introverted, life being short, and the secret goodness hidden in all humanity.

Yeah that sounds about right. 

Have a great Sunday.
