You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Sitting here at the computer, I kept hearing this odd noise, rather like a birds wing fluttering, thought I was imagining it but it kept happening. It seemed to be coming from the fireplace so thought perhaps a bird had managed to fall down the chimney - luckily hadn't used the fire recently so went & grabbed an old towel, made sure the dog couldn't get in & opened both doors so bird could escape easily if needed. The plan was to grab it, cover with towel & take it out to front porch & release, but it managed to evade me & the towel & flew straight out through both doors, much to my relief - & probably to the bird's as well, poor thing must have been terrified.

Did a bit of weeding & ivy removal in the garden earlier; it was that or tackle the bottom freezer drawer. Its amazing, the things you can achieve when avoiding other things!
