3 Good Things (Redux)

Desmond79

Since the thread, which began May 2021, seems to have vanished, I wish to create a new one. 

From Darkness to Light. Smiley

1. I paid for a condensed tumble dryer, which I reserved on Tuesday; for delivery, tomorrow. Also paid for a three-year warranty. (In cash) 

2. I made a poem, entitled 'Storm in a teacup', about the arrival of Agnes. (SEYMOUR!) 

3. Bought more Farm-Fresh milk today.

    1. Have spent that last two mornings cleaning our windows - from the inside which takes much manoeuvring or flexibility that I do not have.
    2. An end to a work project is finally in sight.
    3. I saw these out of our back window. I think they partner for life. I showed my wife how romantic it was and then one jumped on the back of the other... Joy But this was still at the kissing stage.

    That's a lovely photo. I know some people just see them as pests, but I rather enjoy seeing them, and hearing their gentle cooing.

    I feel really rotten about it, but we just had to evict a pair from their recently-built home beneath our solar panels. A protective wire mesh has been installed all around the edges to keep them out.

    The contractor explained that not only would the original pair keep returning to nest, but their descendants would also do the same, leading to a full-blown pigeon colony with multiplying nests.

    Thankfully, there are plenty of trees around. And perhaps some other solar panels that haven't yet been bird-proofed!
