They've hatched Look

Welcome to the world little Bootsie and Snudge

( Named by the fairies )

I guess the balcony cleaning will have to wait for another week, to allow them to grow a bit more. Then I think I'll leave the corner for them until they are ready to leave the nest. They will just have to put up with me watering the plants and the occasional smoker.

A lovely sunny day. I heard the pigeons coo a little before one flew off. The other is sitting on the eggs . How much longer ? What if they are never going to hatch ? It's been more than 18 days since I discovered them .

Googled just now to try and find out more.
Seems that pigeons are treated like pests.

" get rid of the eggs " is the advice
" they keep coming back"
" they are dirty and carry mites that cause skin disease "

I don't like what I am reading.

Dilema .
What to do ?
I do need to clean the balcony .
As much as I like Mr and Mrs Pidge , can they stay there forever ?

Might make a start on cleaning the balcony and leave them their little corner.

Hmmmmmm

I'm not used to espresso
I've not felt sleepy today thanks to the double espresso I had earlier on
No need for " ice-floes" today .
It was a diluted espresso .. " un café alongé "
It's just that I like the taste of espresso which is very different from ordinary coffee.
I'm not going to make a habit of it though.
I don'yt think my gizzards could take it in the long run .... but occasionally .. very nice.

It's been a lovely day.

Heard from DD , a friend from college days , and that is always a special occasion as I normally hear from him once a year at Christmas.. and it is every Christmas , without fail, bless him.

Also chatted briefly with Darryl in New Zealand who told me that his father had died They were very close. It hurts to hear. I gave him a big warm hug.

And so to bed ......night night
