Fly my Prettys Fly

We had some house martins nesting at each gable of the house this year.It was amazing watching them build their nest and raising their chicks.Of course this meant I had to put off the painting job ,not that the wife had been nagging me for months about it or anything like that."You can't be disturbing gods creatures it's bad karma."seemed to work anyway.Four little birds sent from heaven.

We had a great time watching them with creaked necks on the patio,two little heads looking out at us and occasionally throwing their chicks shit at us.They headed off to africa I think about a week ago after clocking up some flight training hours with the chicks,leaving two montains of shit each side of the house just to say thanks for the stay.

So the painting job is back on "sob."The nests fell down themselves,well half of them anyway.I was up on the ladder today with a power washer wrapped around me trying to knock off the rest of the mud made nests. Now we have two very fetching brown streaks running down the sides of the house, she will be pleased.Still I am actually looking forward to them coming back again for their hols next year the little bastards.
