I woke with the sounds of some thing falling down the chimney again, it sounded like large lumps hitting the board i have covering the opening.
Dreading the worst i leavered the board out, and what, a little black bird stood standing there looking really brassed off, well it may have not been a black bird, any way i open the door and waited, the bird gave me hard stare for 20secs or so then fluttered away, leaving a trail of soot
Thankless little b.
