Sitting here at home for a change, rather than down the pub - what do you mean am I sickening for something? Sickening, maybe. For something, naah! Dad's taking mum to the airport so she can gad off to Greece with her friend Jackie for a fortnight, so I'm looking after the dogs for a couple of hours.

Anyway, I was sitting here looking through all my friends' recent posts when suddenly there was a loud thump from the conservatory and Penny started growling. I went out to investigate and all I could see was a dirty pigeon-shaped mark on one of the windows and a rather embarrassed looking pigeon sitting on top of next-doors greenhouse.

Stupid bloody bird!

Highlight of my day, that. Gods, what an exciting weekend!
