Hi there everyone.
Today my flock of crows had crust of cheese. It seems they loved it.
It was gone in a few seconds, and with that they had the usual biscuits as well.
It looks like they do not share the food. When they land, they try to fill up their beak with as much food as possible, after that they are gone.
I do not approve that kind of behavior. They should get one biscuit at a time!
Moreover, I have to toss more biscuits to the next crow without food.
Thank you
Hey friends,
You see, one of the about-to-come podcasts for this new week is about planning a wedding.
I don’t know about you, guys but I myself have never seen our teacher Jeff’s family photo.
He always says on the podcasts, “I’m married, happily married.”
Would it be great if we get the chance to read on our Blog about our teacher Jeff”s own experience of this topic? A candid, portrait picture of his family would surely spice up the post.
What do you think, guys? Let’s ask our teacher for that, shall we?
Hey, teacher, out your top secrets here, please, we ask for! 😉

(who doesn’t have any experience of arranging a wedding reception,
and plus never have had own wedding experience, really!)
Hey,
I’m still trying to track down my would-be Mrs.Right to hit.
Let’s just say, I’m playing the field.
Of course, I’ve already started flirting a girl.
I think the process is going pretty well, thus far.
We’ve had dates.
I see the chemistry in her.
In fact, I love her and she understands me.
Everytime we met on a date, I never forgot to hum some pieces of lyrics for her.
Like this (get ready to cover your ears!)
Oh, I changed my mind not to sing here. 😉
The lyrics are from my two favorite songs:
More Than I Can Say
Take Me To Your Heart

Yes, Dan, birds are not well-bred when food is at stake. I already have a flock of yellow birds (canary) that come every morning on the wall to have breakfast. They sing beautifully! But on the other hand there is a yeloow cat watching the birds waiting for a chance to catch one. My God! Shoo cat, go away. Let my birds alone!
Aecio, birds lover.
