Morning All !
94 Answers
Dry and calm here in South Cambs
No excitements lined up for today, but they happen anyway. Had just stoked up the fire to a good flame now, when the chimney started to roar like a jet engine at take off. I thought the chimney was on fire, and waited for the downpour of hot soot. Nothing. Then a great mass of burning twigs landed in the hearth. Yup. A jackdaw's nest had been hit by a spark, caught fire, and fallen down the chimney.
The birds must have built it between the chimney being swept and the anti-jackdaw net being fitted. They didn't hang about !
Ah well, and I thought Sunday lunch with my daughter and shifting an old mattress out of the garage to the skip was going to be the great excitement of the day.
Have a good day, all.

Morning Fred..hope you are doing OK & you have a good day too.
Birds can build a nest quite quickly I guess.
As long as they dont come back and attack like in Birds..that was a scary movie...crows and jackdaws probably look more frightening than they are.
By the way re-the Sock saga - Have you posted yet!?

Thats terrible. Could tag them! Some washing powders have alot of whitening agents and it shouldn't but perhaps that might be what is happening or you are boiling them! Ahhh
Meant to tell you - when you have time /get a chance look up Dr Hilary Roberts and Dr Stephen Hickey. Scientists who are pretty hot (if controversial) and you might find what they have to say of interest.
