... sounds worse than it actually is though !!!
Late last night the boys returned home with a bird ... of the feathered variety. Found on the street, and the problem was it was not "wandering the streets". Home it came then. With small boy only being the "Lizard King" it was time to phone up the "Birdlady of Mossley" (aka Shaz) who came round, checked it out and found a cat bite/scratch under the wing. So ... bird spent a jolly evening in our TV room in makeshift nest (Tetley beer box with a "Metro" for bedding !). Boys took it up to the vets today - no infections etc. - still in some shock mind - but when I saw him/her today, it was a lot brighter than yesterday (i.e. moving). Vet says "a couple of days and it'll be fine to release". Another victory for Animal Rescue !!
On way up to vets in makeshift bird carrier - entitled "100% of your cat's daily needs" !!!!
Got a "touch moist" at work today, but fortunately it wasn't too heavy - I'll be dry in an hour or so - irony is that the sun is blazing down now !! BBC tells me that the next few days will be tropical however, so the shorts may come out for an airing tomorrow (advice is to avoid Greenfield and Uppermill !!!).
Football tonight - contrary to popular belief, I'll be giving the Mossley v FC United friendly a miss in favour of the Curzon Ashton v Ashton United 'Arthur Clancy Cup' friendly. I need to drop some photos (OK CDs of photos) off to the Ashton United crew ... and I'm sure FC United will have their normal 27 photographers present - all better than me and with much better kit (!). So I'm sure you won't go short ...
Now - carry on drying ...
(P.S. One Olympic observation ... reckon Phillips Idowu feels a right plonker this afternoon following all the "Is he/Is he not fit", "training camp avoidance" and the "sounds of silence" - and then failing to even make the final - reckon he owes Charles van Commenee an apology ...)
MIDNIGHT UPDATE - "Jenny" (now apparently a female blackbird !!!) flew out of the window (after flying into the window first !) - but then did nowt for a while - so was coaxed back into the house for another night of Bed and Brekkie and rehab ... another night without TV for me - s'pose I'd better get a couple up from tonight's football ...
