    Just brushed through my hair so I can wash it in a bit and pulled it back into a pony tail to keep the hair off my neck and back as it's so hot

    Damn, I look sexy in a Russian peasant 'life's been cruel to her' kind of way!!

    afternoon scorched earth!!

    I have a dead bird in my chimney :( We were watching TV last night and I started to hear noises like dull thuds and then fluttering noises :( There was nothing we could do, a bird had obviously somehow come down the chimney and couldn't get back up again. It was standing fluttering and walking on the top of the built in fireplace 'hole'.

    It stopped after about 30 minutes which was sad, but it was impossible to do anything about other than literally drill the fireplace out of the stone - that took 2 days when we put it in!. There was no point in phoning the RSPCA - there is no human access into the chimney and it would have died before they got there.

    I felt quite sad that I couldn't do anything, but now I have a dead bird in the chimney which freaks me a bit and when it rains really, really hard, there is a small leak.......and as the bird decomposes.........

    I know.......the only thing we could have possibly done was drill a huge hole into the top of the fireplace but that would have completely ruined it and very likely killed the bird at the same time :( I was surprised it went quiet so quickly, maybe it injured itself really badly on the way down as there was kind of thudding sounds on and off for a few minutes before it was at the bottom - it sounded like distant fireworks, I suppose there is the tiniest possibility it got back out again, but I'm guessing it was a pigeon and couldn't get its wings open enough to get out.
