The Birds

Is Friday morning, and has stopped raining. I think. Two is hovering by the window, occasionally brandishing a tea-towel frantically at the starlings, who arrive every day mob-handed. He doesn't mind feeding the birds, but feels that the starlings are Taking Advantage, and ousting other less vociferous species. He is endeavouring to create a starling proof fat-ball, because they are preventing the other birds from gaining a foothold. I suggest he puts up a notice 'Only One Starling At A Time', as shopkeeper do for schoolchildren who arrive in large numbers and cause trouble. Interspersed with wild flapping of tea-towel, Two is also banging on the window every time a pigeon appears. These are also causing problems, i.e. eating everything on the bird-table. A further project to pigeon-proof the bird-table has been occupying his mind for some time now. He has purchased large quantities of curtain-rail, screws, string etc. and is more or less permanently trying to devise cunning plan to prevent pigeons gaining access to bird-table. As pigeons are mostly those belonging to Farmer Next Door, I am very worried that one will break a leg, or get stuck in the Great Pigeon Proofing Device, and we shall( sorry- He will) have to explain to Farmer what has happened. I wash my hands of the whole affair.

Am thoroughly enjoying being on Wireless! All went swimmingly well, am now free to roam the house (and yard) with Flamingo Pink Lap-Top. Is liberating. Was so pleased and impressed with how easily transition went, as was pessimistic about Two's capabilities in this department. But- instructions from BT were fool-proof, and eureka!!!

World Cup Fever once again gripping nation, with possible exception of Two, who isn't really bothered, but will pretend to be when Eng-a-land play. Large screen being erected in pub garden for first Eng-a-land match on Saturday night. This guarantees rain of course. Tonight- Friday- is singer, who I cannot remember, although has apparently Been There Before. Am hopeful is Elvis as promised, but not sure. Will keep you posted.

Apparently Andy Murray Stormed Off Court at Queens in huff yesterday, after play suspended due to bad light. Shall tune in this afternoon to see if returns In Huff.
