00:00:17
Speaker
But it's because it's a doozy and I don't know where to put my energy. It's a big one. It's a big one. I did some fun research for that too. So we're just still like working on it. We're working on it.

00:00:54
Speaker
Keep you all up to date on all things um we weird in our lives at the moment. I'm just trying to think. Well, ah you can't see, but I've recently like shifted my office space and I've put like a shelf behind me and so I can display all the um quirky, weird stuff I collect from thrift shops and I've realised how much shit I've acquired.
00:01:23
Speaker
I love it. yeah there's a lot There's a lot on my shelf, which is fun. But you can't see it, so I'll stop talking about that. we're you know we're getting we're getting there. we We're building our creepy backdrops because, you know, one day you'll be able to see it.
00:01:37
Speaker
But I have the same. It's a vibe. It creates bit of that creepy energy. creepy energy I think my favourite. Sorry. I was going to say it's kind of like creepy cute. Like where're we' we're cute creepy core. Like we're not um completely disgusting.
00:01:54
Speaker
We're not buying dead hands. yeah It's like Casper the Friendly Ghost and Furbies. You know, cute monsters. Yeah. Goosebumps.
00:02:07
Speaker
There's some weird stuff.
Exploring Paranormal and Magic Books
00:02:10
Speaker
Oh, you've to mix in with the actual real creepy. The creepy. dull real creepy Like um
00:02:19
Speaker
The Unseen World, the science theories and phenomena behind paranormal events. Like, of course I had to buy this book. There'll be some cool stories in that. Yeah.
00:02:31
Speaker
Yeah, I should read it one day. do it. But it just looks cool behind me. You know I Speaking of books and stuff, I've been getting around just buying lots of books on like protection and reversal magic stuff. oh Just it's an interesting world.
00:02:49
Speaker
I know, i know. But it's just like I've always had a fear of – the fact like I can never wrap my head around the fact that people might sit down and do that shit. And I'm like, why would anyone do that?
00:03:01
Speaker
But um yeah, I just went online, Amazon, and I was like, I'm going to buy some books. I love Damien Eccles. All his books are really cool. yeah um And they're just like little, like, well, for Damien, like he just is really good at breaking down complicated stuff Like, you can tell, like, in in how he writes, you can tell he's read all the, like, all these big fucking profound, you know, magic books and shit.
00:03:35
Speaker
And he's just... made it simple for everyday use. So I've really enjoyed reading his book on like angels and archangels and stuff like that.
00:03:47
Speaker
And then I got this Jason Miller book. Can i just say like creepy right now kind of stuff. Yeah. That whole spiel you did, this the first half of it completely broke up in my audio.
00:04:00
Speaker
Yeah. So it'd be interesting if it you caught your audio. Like it's all back online now and then like typical your screen just got janky as shit. So, you know, the world is strange, guys.
00:04:12
Speaker
You start talking about this stuff and it's like, what are you doing? um and But, yeah, i it's all – I think the more you know the better. So I just like buying books and sort of reading yeah reading it and just being aware of it.
00:04:26
Speaker
um But I don't use it on anyone, if that makes sense. Yeah, we're not – um
00:04:34
Speaker
witchy cauldron type of gals, you know, just because we're interested in stuff. I don't know. I see a lot of people on social media and the way they approach this. And, yeah, I'd like to think I'm interested but grounded and it's not this fucking – thing know I mean I know waste of fucking time but love reading about it love reading yes very interesting and I'm sure there's like some good shit like if I was to use it it'd be for my own shit promoting goodness in my life I don't think I'd be giving a shit about anyone else's life and what I want to do
00:05:10
Speaker
m to their you know what mean like there's that weird yeah kind of world like that you look at and you're like fuck if people are doing
Reflections on Paranormal Experiences
00:05:18
Speaker
that in the real world that's like a that's a low vibe that's like that's a horror movie you know it is it is it is horror like what that oh have you seen the movie The Craft I know it's a really old one but have you ever watched it I've never watched it I can't believe it's from the 90s. Erin, it's great. But, like, I look at it and I'm like, that's kind of like the shit that teenagers watch as kids or as teenagers.
00:05:43
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Teenagers watch as teenagers. And then then they want to do it Yeah, this is what spiritual shit is. And now let's do some weird magic in the woods. Yeah, it's pretty it's a pretty fucked up movie. I personally am like – Yeah.
00:05:57
Speaker
It's kind of, it's like bullying if you were spiritual. Yes. Shit. um man I remember like just talking to mum about,
00:06:08
Speaker
Well, when we used to watch Most Haunted, remember when we used to watch yeah that British TV show and like even we got like our brothers into it and everything. And one night I remember just talking to mum. was like, it's so scary, mum. Like, because there was nothing, like YouTube wasn't a thing. There was nothing really out there.
00:06:24
Speaker
True. We just kind of. Ghost hunts. downloaded it online or something? Is that how we got it? I don't know. i swear it must have just been on TV one day, but i I got obsessed and just bought the DVDs, I think. I don't know where we ah originally found yeah any of it.
00:06:40
Speaker
Or maybe I saw it on Foxtel or some shit and then I was like, I need to keep watching this. But anyway, I remember mum just being like, don't ever mess with that shit. Like, I don't want you ever like going down that road. and I was like, I never would. But yeah it is interesting that like. Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker
We never did any of that. And I remember watching a YouTube video maybe last year or the year before on this chick who she was – what was her name? it she's um She does a lot of haunted stuff.
00:07:12
Speaker
She was even in one of like Sam and Colby's videos. What's her name? Spooky Yeah, Spooky Boo. Selena? I don't know. I don't know. But she was talking about how she used to do a lot of that stuff as a kid and that it's still – there was like an episode where it was still ah in her world. It's like because she fucked with it with stuff When she was younger, it follows you and stuff like that.
00:07:37
Speaker
So I always wonder, like, if people as teenagers are like, oh, this is just a bit of fun, but it's like they're growing into their adult life and shit isn't going well. Is that because they didn't know what they were doing but they still conjured something or, like, did some kind of magic?
00:07:50
Speaker
It's kind of interesting. us know, listeners, shit's following you from A to B. Give us some stories. Give us some stories. Because we never dabbled. Not even in a Ouija board. We were just innocently intrigued with horror movies.
00:08:05
Speaker
and I mean, I don't know. i think I watch a lot more horror movies and supernatural movies than you do. Yes, I get a bit too freaked out by it. But yeah I think after reading these books, I'm not. Like that's even reading the books like freaked me the fuck out. And i was like, okay, i can I can dabble in the paranormal movies again maybe.
00:08:23
Speaker
I just get really affected by them. I'm quite sensitive to all that. i Yeah, i I get it. With your ghost stories from being growing up young and seeing stuff, I would be too.
00:08:36
Speaker
Oh, that is a cool story. do you, do you have any recent stories of anything?
Catherine's Unsettling Dream
00:08:41
Speaker
i do have one and I don't know. I mean, viewers, you viewers, listeners. It's like, cause I can see my face being recorded. I'm like, everyone can see it. No. Yeah. right um yeah So I had a recent one and this, and I'll own, I'm only sharing it because it's something that I don't really experience a lot. Um,
00:09:04
Speaker
I don't experience a lot of weird shit when i like when I'm sleeping, you know what i mean? ah Like, you know, a lot of people can have really – like i I just know people in my life that have had like really – oh, I'm a vivid dreamer or I have a lot of nightmares or I – what's the one – sleep paralysis like people have sleep paralysis where they feel like they're seeing stuff but they can't move so they oh yeah open your eyes and you can see something in your room but it's just your dream state hasn't switched over to back into the real world so your dream state blends with anyway
00:09:39
Speaker
So if anything, maybe that was the, no, because I was, could move. Anyway, I'll tell the story. yeah You're already trying to look like make it into something. Dissecting it before I've even told anyone. Everyone's like, just tell the fucking story.
00:09:52
Speaker
yeah um So it was recently I was staying in an apartment. downtown city living for a bit um as a bit of a getaway holiday.
00:10:04
Speaker
ah So obviously it was a new space for me. And the first night I was there, I fell asleep as you do because it was night time. And I hate to be the person that has to like explain my dream, but it's important to the story. So yes, you're going to hear it a bloody dream story coming up. So if you want to skip it, go ahead. But it's of story. It's such a unique thing. like but Sorry that I'm sharing my dreams. It won't happen again.
00:10:32
Speaker
um But yeah, Erin, it was me and you. Right. And um we were... her The only way I can describe it is we we were learning how to like play poker with this big giant being and um I'm horrible with the Harry Potter world.
00:10:52
Speaker
Was it Dumbledore or like who's the big hairy Hodor? No, that's from fucking Hodor. who Who's the big hairy guy in Harry Potter? Harry Potter fans. Harry will not be happy. big But they they know.
00:11:07
Speaker
yeah But I want to know.
00:11:11
Speaker
Hagrid. Hagrid. Yeah. yeah hey That's really funny. Yeah. So Hagrid um was sitting in the middle teaching us how to play poker, like the trick tips and tricks. Like he just felt like this big, like big giant kind of guy.
00:11:26
Speaker
And we're playing poker. And then um because it's a dream and it doesn't make sense, it kind of, turns my chair kind of turns into a big sofa. Yeah. And I'm really tired. So I want to take a nap. All right. So I've leant over on this red couch.
00:11:42
Speaker
taking a nap and um I can sense someone taking a nap next to me and but I can't see like I can sense it but the couch is so big I kind of using my hand to pat around next to me to see if I can feel the person next to me yeah and then next minute out like a horror movie I just feel a hand grab my hand Right.
00:12:07
Speaker
Like in my dream. In your dream. I've woken up. Yeah. Okay. And I can still feel that hand on my hand. Right. Yeah. And then I've just had to like, then I've just had to shake my hand off.
00:12:20
Speaker
Like, so I woke up, but because I woke up, obviously it takes a hot minute to realize that you have woken up from a dream. So there was about, I don't know, two, three seconds where I was kind of sitting there going, that was weird.
00:12:36
Speaker
Cause a hand grabbed me, but then as I'm coming to, like, as I'm in that state, I can feel the hand, but I haven't registered that I'm awake. know mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, was yeah. it was pretty messed up. Yeah. And I don't have those experiences ever. So that's a first for me to have like a dream that's turned into a physical touch outside of the dream.
00:12:55
Speaker
But I know that that can happen to people when they have really vivid dreams. Yeah. Yeah. You know mean So I don't know. yeah But it was, but you know, it was a creepy dream. You may cover it as you wish, but it's, when I say it's rare, ah just remembered the only other time that that sensation of feeling and touching has happened is me and Erin growing up in our creepy house had a night.
00:13:21
Speaker
Had a few nights and it's why I don't sleep on my belly anymore. Yeah. Where we used have a sensation of a hand coming up and tickling our bellies. Yeah. It was fucking scary. Fucked up.
00:13:32
Speaker
Yeah. Really fucked up. Really fucked Like I, like there was a, you know, everyone's like, oh i sleep on my belly. i was like, the only reason I don't do that anymore is because that sensation used to happen a little bit to us.
00:13:43
Speaker
I feel like it happened to you a lot more, but I do remember just being like, oh that's a weird feeling. And it was definitely when we were really young. But do you also remember when you, Was it you like one night and then you, it felt like you just got pushed out of your bed and you couldn't find bed again? yeah, that was like when we were like three, four years old. So I don't know. i can't claim that story as, you know, I might.
00:14:06
Speaker
yeah Yeah, but like it didn't, yeah, it just didn't feel nice. And I had to sleep in your bed though, which I found strange. I remember reading to you. I was like, come into my bed. And then I pretended i knew how to read. And I was like. My older sister of six minutes.
00:14:18
Speaker
Yeah. ah Reading me back to sleep. That's kind of my current story I have. I don't know. What do you think? It was just weird. Like it was like a wizard teaching us gambling and then of a sudden. Was the dream scary? Like when you were dreaming, did it feel scary? Were you like, cool, we're like getting taught poker by doctor?
00:14:40
Speaker
The first half was great because, yeah, I felt like we were getting taught tips and tricks and stuff. Yeah, sweet. So who knows? And then maybe i mean that that thing was like, and it's real.
00:14:51
Speaker
And then like just wait. just kind of turned into that typical like – it just turned into that typical – moment where like in a I guess in a horror movie where like things don't ah like things feel a bit off and they aren't okay and it's just that typical when someone looks under the bed and then they see something that's yeah so it didn't feel it didn't feel nice it was like a nightmare at the end yeah okay yeah be nightma and I didn't see or feel or get a vibe of what the hand was at all like I couldn't pinpoint it as like a mental image of who yeah it was just there which makes me think does that mean it's just a dream if I couldn't
00:15:30
Speaker
Yeah. That's really interesting. I like this theme. Like, I'm glad it just, I'm glad it happened not at my house. You know what i mean? I'm glad that happened in an apartment where i'd like, maybe that's just the energy of the apartment.
00:15:43
Speaker
Yeah. And you've gone through a lot of that time, like maybe... I don't know, Catherine. But your story is reminding me of a story that I haven't told yet on this podcast. So should I tell that story just as we're talking about hands and being touched on the hand?
00:15:57
Speaker
Yes. Is there anything else you want to talk about with that specific grossness? Oh, last. Like – nothing help nothing Nothing else happened after.
00:16:09
Speaker
um and the night after you slept well? Like you haven't had that? Yeah, I think I was a little bit, you know, say your prayers before you go to bed kind of stuff.
00:16:22
Speaker
Oh, um, which is funny to say out loud. You're sleeping alone and something's touched your hand. Whether it was like grass. Yeah. Whether it was good or bad.
00:16:33
Speaker
i don't want to feel someone hanging onto my hand. Like it was like a, it wasn't a gentle touch. It was like someone had grabbed it and didn't want to let go. And then in. Oh, when I had woken up it was still there and I had to take my hand off like I literally had to shake woke up and had to shake my hand like I shook my hand it was like glo yeah okay yeah that is really gross it is these are the specifics we need yeah no because you just touched the hand of a while like you're still in the like responsive like and it was shit but it's like that's the bit we need to go through like but well I thought I told you that bit
00:17:04
Speaker
I know it's all right. I'm just like deep diving into that exact moment. But the fact that it was like a claw on your hand and you shake it off is kind of like. Yeah, well, I said when I woke up, it was still on my hand and I had to get my hand away. I think, you know, roll the tapes. but I'm pretty sure I said that. But, yeah, listen, more impact if I say it again anyway.
00:17:23
Speaker
yeah Creepy as shit. I probably zoned out because I was like, I was still trying to think about this giant playing poker with us. Yeah, Hagrid little guy. Well, not little, big guy. Huge dude.
00:17:36
Speaker
Like so big I didn't see his face. I just like remember being like like across from you and then he was sitting to the side, just his big belly. Fucking hell. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Cool. We have a giant that's helping us play poker or something. yeah yeah helping us gamble through our dream state.
00:17:53
Speaker
Love it. Anyway, your story, I think I remember this one, but do tell. yeah do mine isn't as Mine isn't as creepy, but I never. But that's nice. Sometimes you don't want creepy all the time.
Erin's Experience with Signs from Beyond
00:18:05
Speaker
Yeah. It's just like an interesting, like asking for validation after that happened because it felt really weird. and So similar, well, you know, sleeping alone. So i was, ah yeah, home alone this night, sleeping.
00:18:20
Speaker
I think I was just going through a lot. you know, what's new. A little bit. are Yeah. I just caught your yawn.
00:18:32
Speaker
It's Sunday here, folks. It's, you know. Sunday, technical difficulties, all of that stuff. um So, yeah, I couldn't sleep. It was like one of those nights where it was really hard for me to sleep.
00:18:46
Speaker
And it was also a weirdly warm night. It was in October. So, you know, just really setting up the scene. um And it would have been about three years ago, four years ago that this happened.
00:18:59
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And I was just, yeah, having a really restless night's sleep. And what happened was I woke up to someone just really slightly, like someone's finger just touching one of my fingers.
00:19:15
Speaker
Like it was just like this. If you can, yeah, just like a real slight touch. And I remember just like waking up and being like, fuck off. Like and that's just always what I'm like. I'm like, fuck off. I can't like deal with this right now.
00:19:28
Speaker
And it just freaked me out. Cause when that happens, it's freaky. There's no one in the room, you know, no one's home. ah don't, didn't have a pet. Like my, I have a cat, but she was definitely not, you know, doing anything.
00:19:39
Speaker
um And yeah, I freaked out and I had a lot of anxiety And then i was like so exhausted though. I kind of like drifted back to sleep and I just had the most vivid fucked up dreams after that happened.
00:19:56
Speaker
And it was of like, it's just outrageous, but I felt like there was a fucking alien. Like, I'm not kidding. I had a dream. went into this really vivid dream where I was half asleep, half awake So I don't know what it was, but I was half asleep, half awake looking outside and there was a grey alien, you know, like typical alien.
00:20:13
Speaker
All right. This escalated. This is not the story I thought could tell. This is not the story thought could tell. I'm like, yep, yep, yep. And then there was a grey alien. Okay. It was like this. Righto.
00:20:24
Speaker
I found a little alien. Jesus Christ. Hey, little Martian. Yeah. and one of the Typical grey. Just like standing standing outside sort of looking in. So that weeded me out. And then...
00:20:38
Speaker
And then it was like I was in a different room. Yeah. So this is all in your dream. You felt the touch in the RLs. Yep. In the real life RLs. So I woke up from that, then went back to sleep. But then I was like in this real lucid dream state. Okay. It was really weird.
00:20:54
Speaker
And then there was like a person standing behind the curtains in my room. And I just kept seeing this person just hiding behind curtains. And I was like, what is that? Who is that? kind of thing.
00:21:05
Speaker
um So it was all just a terrifying blend of real life feeling like someone touched my hand. Then it went into this weird world of like there's an alien outside looking at me and then there's like a fucking person standing in the middle of my room hiding.
00:21:19
Speaker
um So I somehow slept and then woke up the next day and was just like, how do I tell anyone that this is what happened? So this is the thing that sucks when you have weird dreams or like you feel like a ghost has touched you or whatever.
00:21:34
Speaker
Because you don't have anyone to talk to about it. this like first thing you're talking about and everything. But yeah, it's fucking scary. Like you were saying that just happened to you the other week. Like I hadn't had something happen to me.
00:21:46
Speaker
Well, something so physical like that since, God, maybe last year or whatever. But, um yeah, so that anyway, I kind of forgot the nightmare. I was like, that was just a nightmare. I had to just wake myself out of that lucid dreaming state. Yeah, fair enough.
00:22:01
Speaker
Yeah. um And then I kind of was like, well, who touched my hand? Like, what the fuck was that? Right. So, and I was getting, um for those who have been listening, like I've been seeing ghosts for quite a while and I, I never really was in the, I never really felt brave enough to sort of interact with that world. I was just like, this just happens to me. It's kind of annoying. I just learned to fuck them off, you know? Yeah.
00:22:27
Speaker
Um, But when that happened, I was like, well, it felt gentle. And like, you know, I was going through some grief and that kind of thing. was like, hmm, and everything else was chaotic. But what if I just tried to feel into who that was or like what it was, like what would happen? yeah So I think that next night I just couldn't really sleep.
00:22:46
Speaker
So I was just on the couch meditating and I was like, okay, who, oh, no, wait, that didn't happen. That was another night. That's a different story. Let me get my fucking bearings. Oh, so the next day i was just like,
00:22:58
Speaker
I just felt crazy. So I remember just saying out loud, like, just had a feeling it was our grandma or gran.
00:23:09
Speaker
So I had a feeling it was her. Yeah. So I was like, well, ah if it was you, I want to sign. And I was like, you know how people are just like you have to ask for a sign. And then like, give me some extra confirmation ploys. So I'm not insane.
00:23:24
Speaker
I'm insane. So I just kept asking for a sign. i was like, if that was you, you touched my hand. Like you scared the shit out of me. well Just talking out loud. I'm like, yeah, Fran, you crazy bitch. um Like she's, she's just so wanting to. talking like a language, but she'd giggle anyway.
00:23:40
Speaker
She'd have a giggle at it. I'm sure she would.
00:23:45
Speaker
Ah, rest in peace, Grant. So yeah she, yeah, anyway, I was just talking out loud to her and I was like, please give me a green feather. I was like, that's an unusual color for a feather, right? I was like a green feather, green feather.
00:23:58
Speaker
And I was like, I'm going to need it by the end of the week. I was like really demanding. Yeah. I was like, because if it's you and you can do that, you know, that's probably what I was thinking. Like, if you can do that, then you can somehow like. yeah If you can touch my hand and freak me out, you can find me a green feather, please.
00:24:14
Speaker
So I can calm down. Like, you know, my house isn't haunted, but you're haunting me. yeah
00:24:22
Speaker
It's funny. Like, I don't know. Sometimes I think it's funny. Like when ghosts, they're just like, I'm giving you a message. It's like, it's fucking terrifying. Yeah. No, thank you. How lovely you think it is to touch my hands.
00:24:35
Speaker
If I just stand over you and you wake up and see me, isn't that lovely? No. No. No, it's not. But I'm dead. And you can see me now.
00:24:48
Speaker
Ta-da. There's no logic. There's no logic. Anyway, Greenfeather, did she deliver? She did. She did deliver. So the Greenfeather was delivered before the end of the week and it was in a weird way. Like Mike at the time is the one who found it. So it was very obvious. He literally was walking. He walked out.
00:25:09
Speaker
And it's weird that he would pick up a feather as well, probably. I don't know. yeah Like never picked up feathers and shit like that. You know, yeah i'd tell him these questions. It wasn't part of his hobbies. It wasn't a hobby of his.
00:25:23
Speaker
So, yeah, he literally found a feather, picked it up and like walked over to me. He was like, hey, have this. And I like grabbed the feather and I like, What? And I was like, fuck, thanks, Grant. That's pretty cool.
00:25:37
Speaker
Yeah, it was really cool. It happened within the week, I believe. literally handed to you as well. That's cool. And it was it wasn't the most pristine green feather, but I guess my timeline was kind of, you know.
00:25:48
Speaker
Yeah. It was just a bit of a ratty one. and kept The parrots are dwindling in the neighbourhoods, so you've got to take what you can get there. Just magpies and crows. Yeah.
00:25:59
Speaker
crazy right so the fact that like yeah so let's just ignore the fucking gray alien staring through the window in a dream i just i need to go back a little bit because it's important because people think you know ah wouldn it wouldn't surprise me if people think we just bullshit these stories but they're just too why the fuck would we lie about it but the most important thing is mike was away when that whole hand touch thing happened and i didn't tell him a fucking thing Like I kept that all to myself. I didn't tell yeah like, hey, when you were away, my hand got touched and it was really weird. Like I but literally just didn't talk about it.
00:26:35
Speaker
So I didn't tell him anything until he handed me that green feather. I was like, this is really important. And i was like, verbal diarrhea, like everything. And he was like, that's really weird. Wow. And I was like, yep. So it's important.
00:26:47
Speaker
He didn't know a thing. He wasn't looking for a green feather. I didn't say, hey, Mike, I'm looking for validation. I need a green feather. Like I didn't, there was no power of suggestion. Yeah. and he'd never done that you didn't plant a seed in his head to be like on the lookout for a sign that is key knowledge good to good to say out loud usually i'm the one looking for the feather and i'm like looking everywhere like where's that sign like a sign that life is gonna be fucking okay please give me that feather give me the fucking feather so the feather was delivered and Yeah. Crazy though. Right. That's the craziest thing that's ever happened to me in terms of like someone touched my hand. I was like, Gran, I feel like that was you. And then being like, you better do this. And it happened. And I was like, whoa.
00:27:31
Speaker
Would you call that like a synchronicity or would you call that like a sign? I'm trying to use terminology I've learned through the years. Just a sign. I asked for the sign. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
00:27:44
Speaker
Very cool. I'm trying to think if I've had signs like that. don't Yeah, the alien thing was different. I don't know.
00:27:55
Speaker
i found a – no, I didn't. No, retract that. Maybe you will come to me later. I don't know.
00:28:06
Speaker
Oh, well, I've got a falcon that's hanging out. on my back fence, which is pretty cool. That's pretty great. Just watching over you. Yeah. I don't know. I just think it's rare to have a falcon in your neighborhood and it's white and it kind of looks like a seagull, but it's like, it's like a seabird falcon.
Birdwatching and Synchronicities
00:28:23
Speaker
I don't know. It's just really cool. And it might be an osprey.
00:28:28
Speaker
Which is weird for your location. Exactly. It's just, and I know it's like it's the only one. Like, I don't, it doesn't, it's not in pairs. And it's lived, I've seen it from a distance because, like, I live, like, on a high hill area.
00:28:42
Speaker
So I've seen it in my vicinity, vicinity? Vicinity. Vicinity. Vicinity. Forgive me. Haven't used words in a while.
00:28:55
Speaker
Yeah. ah From a distance for eight like foot like years, right? And I've always been like that the way it hovers like definitely looks like an eagle hawk thing, like prey, like looking for mice and stuff.
00:29:07
Speaker
And I've just always wanted it to be closer. And then I think maybe – I asked for it in my head to come closer and then it and then now it's just like on my fence line and just hovers really close to my fence line. And i was like, oh, cool, thanks.
00:29:26
Speaker
Is that something? I don't know. Is that a coincidence? I love it. You're dabbling. You're just like, you can come closer. Sometimes I notice when I like take the time in the mornings to actually clear my energy and be in a state of calm and I'm out the front and like sipping my coffee, birds just come into my garden and just like are really chill and relaxed rather than yeah being all flighty.
00:29:48
Speaker
really i've um I fed a magpie two days ago, by the way. So I bought sunflower seeds. Well, close enough. Like I was sitting on my little garden bed and I just put some sunflower seeds close to me because like the ones in my yard are very familiar with my face and stuff. and Yeah.
00:30:08
Speaker
yeah, it was like, oh, you've got food. like And they're so big. They obviously get fed by the whole neighborhood. Like there's some big bullfah maggies. yeah So I don't want to like make a habit out of every four o'clock. ah Like I don't want to make them rely on my food. But I was like, let's just see. And yeah, he came right up and was eating all around close to me. It was very cool. And I just sat there and watched him eat.
00:30:27
Speaker
So I'm going to become like a crazy bird lady. I want like a bird bath and yes i want to set up some stuff so I can just watch the birds in my yard. That would be very cool. I think that's a great idea. i can't wait. I'm actually going to take myself away for like a little um ceramic. um Speaking of birds, is a willy wagtail just flapping about.
00:30:49
Speaker
Oh, my God. that That's a synchronicity. Sorry. willy we this That's so funny. So we don't get a lot of willy-wagtails in this area. Yeah. We, I mean the neighbourhood.
00:31:00
Speaker
And that's something I've just missed because i feel like back in WA, like you just get a lot of them and I don't see a hell of a lot of them here. But um when I go for my walks, there's there's kind of one that hangs out on a street that I notice.
00:31:16
Speaker
um And the other day it was on my fence line. and you're like, oh, my God, you sorry maybe more will come now. Maybe you'll invite more really wagtails. It was very brief, but it was there and it did its really wagtail bum move and then it like flew away and I was like, fuck, yeah. So, yeah, I do feel like birds, when I want a bird, I get my birds. Like I'm like, I want an exciting bird to look at, please.
00:31:38
Speaker
i I'm sick of your crows and your magpies. Give me something else. And the world goes, there you go. how's the fucking and How's a bird of prey and a willy-wag.
00:31:52
Speaker
So, yeah, that's – well, we we're talking about birds now, guys. But, you know, synchronicities, if we want to circle back, it's all about – Synchronicities. If you ask, you shall we still receive.
00:32:05
