You are one busy guy John...matchmaker to guinea hens and chimney sweep...........do you ever sit down....you make me feel lazy languishing over my mornign coffee reading blogs.
Bet your brush didn't come off up the chimney like ours did once. My husband spent nearly all day trying to get it down with a fork bent over on the end of the rods. lol He didn't think it was very funny though. On another note, you've saved yourself a few pounds, chimney sweeps charge a fortune these days.... Briony x
Sniffing exhaust fumes. Nasty habit I cured myself of thirty years ago by taking up smoking. So much cleaner! Or sweeping a chimney, chim-chim-cheroo...
In a rather confusing sequence of events a Trelawnyd man escaped serious injury today. The man, a Mr. John Gray, was just sitting down to enjoy a bit of a puff on a good cigar after a rousing day of yardwork, when his bitch, Constance, broke wind. The resulting fireball was reported by several Trelawnyd residents. Film at 11.
Little Blue Mouse - I'm not sure if he was trying to scare the starlings away, or infiltrate their terror cell. John, you've got the coloring about spot on to blend in, but it looks like the feathering camofladge needs some work.... try a duster instead of a chimney broom!
Either sweeping a chimney, or riding a motorbike on a dirt road whislt holding a giant brush :)
