This was my darling Mr Mizzi who died in 1983.  I bought him for $1 from a pet shop on the Gold Coast in 1970, he was hanging upside down in the top of a parrot cage at the time - so who could resist him?

He travelled with me everywhere - from the Gold Coast to Injune, to Sydney and finally to Canberra, returning home to Mum on the Gold Coast for his winter vacations whenever I went overseas.

Left is Mr Mizzi & I in 1980.

I still miss him!
