As promised, photos of my neighbour's tumblers in flight today.






If you watch normal pigeons flying they're very much more in a rigid formation, whereas these ones seem to randomly tumble, stall and divebomb. Like I said, a bit weird.

Finally a weekend with nothing planned. Get the papers in, cooked breakfast. Sorted.

Hmm, imagine being owed $64.8 million

Where did the weather go? It's pissing it down...

Ewok Cash point now not avaialble from Amazon.

More local cycling although this site hasn't ben updated in a while.

I went for a cycle this morning. As we've been living in the Black Country for three months now, I thought it was about time I sampled the local canals. So off I went on my bike, through a veeery long, dark tunnel, carried on a bit further... until I came to...

I met some people coming the other way who reckoned some kids must have nicked this milk float and managed to wedge it between the rails of the towpath. Don't worry everyone, I soon managed to rejoin the path and continue my ride into town. Phew.

If you live in the black country and would like to be a submitter to this blog, mail me and we'll see what we can do...

Here I sit at my window waiting for the guy round the back to release his pigeons for the night. he's got these 'tumblers' which are pretty mad - or as mad as a pigeon can get - they just stall in mid flight and then right themselves. kind of like a pigeon stunt team. next time i get a decent photo i'll put them online...

Here is my own site with details of the kind of work I do, nestled here in the heart of Black Country. For any of you who know the area, Just between Coseleye and Tipton, off the Birmingham New Road. For those of you who don't, find a map of the UK, find Birmingham, then it's just west of there a bit.

Well here we are, I finally crumpled and submitted to all those people telling us how wonderful blogs are. first posting, um... nothing to report.
