Hello all! Been awol for a couple of days, working for the recycling team. Dear god, the hot weather makes the job hard - not the being out in it, but the fact that everyone has twice the normal volume of cans, beer bottles, pop bottles... The sheer volume to be collected!
And on Tuesday, we rescued a canary. It was sitting on the kerbside, looking lost, so we scooped it up in an impromptu holding cage (an old babymilk powder tin lined with newspaper) and I've been looking after it at home ever since. We think we've found a proper home for it now, someone with an aviary. I would have kept it, but I don't like the idea of a bird in a small cage, and anyway, I'm off on holiday soon... Sweet little thing. I even bought it a box of Trill yesterday and made it a temporary cage out of a cardboard box and a cake cooling tray.
I've been cooing at it, stuff like "who's a pretty boy then?" but it just looks at me like I'm an idiot...
