Have you thought about putting a cage on top of the flue vent / chimney pot?

Not really. This is the first time it has happened in 35 years of owning a house, so hopefully 35 years before it happens again. If it does, I may have to reconsider...

I tested positive for Covid yesterday so it’s been a socially distanced Father’s Day.

Mrs BB had to go alone to test drive the BMW 128ti, she definitely having it and we’re collecting it next Saturday.

Should have been at Royal Hospital Chelsea tonight to see Paul Weller. Mrs BB and daughter no.2 have gone instead.

Consoling myself watching British Superbikes.

Cheers BB

Back on losing weight after I crept up above 12st last week. No problem, I know the drill. The difficult bit is wanting to do it. Once you've got that done, it's easy. Other than that, building stuff in the garage. 2 bike stands done and a hedgehog house started. One old hand saw comprehensively buggered, now in the bin. I wonder if I could make something with it. A hedging knife, say.

10km trail race this morning. Pint at the local for lunch. Resting after that, a little music, watching the F1. Will get an early night.

Remember who you're talking to. I don't think that it's going to be Bogarted in any way, shape of form.
