Spent the last four days in Lancashire and elsewhere in the North of England, visiting my folks (among other things). Details follow…

Dan’s Mum’s House, Preston
Helped fix my mum’s fence, and enjoyed the challenge of removing a pigeon from her gutter. This stupid bird, it seems, on a collision course for the house (shitting on the window as it
came), struck the roof with sufficient force to kill itself, and then rolled gracefully into the gutter, where it became lodged.
Using a clever combination of metal rods and string, Claire and I were able to lasso it’s foot from one of the upstairs windows and, a few pokes later, lob it’s rotting corpse down to my sister, waiting below.
My dad kindly let me take one of his bikes – Silver Machine – back to Aber with me, which’ll make getting to and from work a lot nicer. Must buy a lock for it.
Got back at about midnight. Claire spent most of the night tied to the bed, which was fun. Enough said.
