I feel quite sad. We’ve got a pigeon in the chimney. It is causing all sorts of problems with bits of rock, lots of dust coming down and making a mess on the floor, plus the noise – quite distressing.
A man came and had a look and said the poor bird is dying and too far down to reach. It has also done a bit of damage (hence the rocks). The chimney is deteriorating through old age and the bird has done us a favour highlighting the problem as we could have all died through carbon monoxide poisoning if we’d put the fire on! Scary stuff.
Joleigh came for a lesson and wasn’t much help. She hadn’t worked on her scales because she said she had to tidy her bedroom all week. What sort of excuse is that? I bet you could do better.
Then I asked her if she could help me with the pigeon problem by playing Chim Chim Cheree up the chimney – I reckoned it would either make the bird very happy and it would find the energy to fly away or it would terrify the bird to death! She said no, because she had to vacuum her bedroom. This bedroom must be so spectacular that it probably needs loads of flute players visiting for a Flutewise event.
As the magazine has been ‘put to bed’ (sent to the printers), I’m off on a short holiday for a few days. I’ll leave the blog in the good hands of Andy and Stephen, keep your comments coming.
