Arghhhhhh, vermin!!!

No blog yesterday - I'd love to say it was because I was super busy and didn't have a minute to write anything, but actually I did nothing all day, nothing remarkable happened, and so I had nothing to write about. We did go visit my Dad in the evening though. Dexter had an 'accident' and had to be brought home with my scarf tied round him like pants/shorts *facepalm* That was the highlight of my day!
I did make a discovery yesterday though. I have a balcony coming off my livingroom, which Dexter plays on in the summer. With the weather being so crappy at the moment (seeing as it's winter) I haven't been out there in weeks! I decided yesterday to go out and give it a tidy, and to bin the foam square things that I had down as a sort of 'flooring' for Dexter. They've gone all manky since they've been lying out there. So anyway, I go out there and start moving stuff about and I scare the shit (probably literally) out of a pigeon that was out there hiding in a corner. This seemed ominous. In the summer the same pigeon had a nest out there and it caused me no end of stress and I had to clean up a LOT of pigeon crap. I prayed there were no eggs. Cue me going 'Pleease no!' 'Awww crap!' :(

 

 

 

The offending eggs!

The pigeon Mummy is pretty though. Nearly all white. So anyway, for a split second I contemplated kicking her nest over the edge, but I couldn't do it. They may be vermin but they are cute (the chicks are UGLY though, as you will no doubt see over the coming weeks as they hatch). I'm NOT looking forward to cleaning up their shit though. I'm chucking that blue foam tile in the bin as soon as the chicks leave.

In other news, I got my 11mm tunnels in, yay! I'd been adding a layer of tape to my 10mm tunnels every day, and I tried my 11mm ones last night, and the right one went straight in. The left was being stubborn, but after another wrap of tape last night, I got it in this morning with no trouble. LOVING this stretching method!
