Good news thread..

No shed should ever be that empty. There should at least be a loose hosepipe tying a lawnmower and an old bike together.

😂 well..

Dennis caught the pigeon, I told him off. The pigeon wasn't flying but I'm hoping he's just in shock so I scooped him up in a towel and put him in the shed. With some water. 

But i took the pic thru the shed window so u can see Pigey who I've called 'Bloody Lucky.. Hopefully' and the ladders. And then a bit of garden and my nail reflecting in the window.

The sheds new so there's nothing in it atm apart from ladders, water, towel and BL..H x

He’s flown in to attend the efest meet ... I presume squirrel knew about the pigeon before the post of the pie recipe ...

Looks like there’s plenty of meat on it. It’s definitely not a racing pigeon.

I’m just thinking about mine and Dennis’ stomachs. He’s made a good catch there. 

[Wellyboot]

I hope he survives. Do I put anything in for him to eat? I don't really know what to do. 

Want him to live, don't want him to shit all over the shed, dont wanna put him out to get caught by another cat. I'm out of my depth really hahahha

On a serious note, unless you want him to keep returning to the shed you don’t want to give him any food. 
 

May seem cruel but the best bet is to leave the door/window open so he can fly away once he’s recovered and probably best to keep Dennis inside until then. 
 

If he is injured then unfortunately he is food for the next predator that comes along. 

[Wellyboot]

Not even arsed about what he's done.

Just put a chair in the shed for him/her,  it might be a stool pigeon

I'm glad that you explained that. Although I have never read the book, or heard anything about it's contents, I just know that I had gone down a Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus type path. Or, at least that's what I think I think, I thought. Have had a smoke, so the mind's a little crazed. Not as crazed as that virtually empty shed though. Empty sheds are for people who manufacture and sell empty sheds, or for the most deviant of people. It is 'the law' that sheds should be rammed full of stuff that you think that you'll need in the future, but in reality never will. And of course it's the law of the universe that if you do have a brain haemorrhage and throw away an item from the shed, that you will be made within a period of no greater than 10 days, to buy the same item as you threw away, because now you actually need use of that product. 

A pigeon once flew into a bedroom that I was using in a large Victorian house that had been split into flats. I opened the door of the bedroom and was completely stunned at the sight in front of me. The whole place was covered in pigeon shit. Pigeon shit from the pigeon that was flapping around within the bedroom. How lucky was it that I should have somehow 'captured' the pigeon that had been voted as the most prolific shitter on the block, by his / her peers for that financial year. I don't know what sex the pigeon was, you see. Call me old fashioned if you like, but I really don't think that there is a need to establish the sex of a pigeon which is trapped in your bedroom. The first and foremost thing on your mind is 'how do I get that bastard out of here'? Once that not inconsiderable feat is achieved, the next thought / horrible realisation, is that it's you that has to clear up all the shit from all the places that the shit is. Be under no illusion that this will be so mentally challenging that it will take you to the very bending edge of sanity. You will get to laugh in the face of those who suffer from ornithophobia. You know full well that your hatred for birds is now complete, and that you would willingly take them on in a fight etc etc.

Yoghurt on a stick! Your stories do make me smile!!  I have to make a cup of tea before sitting down to read them!! It’s become a tradition! 

[Ayrshire Chris]

We need a pigeon status report. Is it still in the shed?  Remember if it makes a noise the sound won’t bounce off the roof

Why?   A coo sticks 

[Wellyboot]

😂😂😂😂 I love your stories so much!!

Before your story i thought if my pigeon survives the night I might have a poo to clean up.. now I'm dreading just how much! (Also really pleased not shifted alllll the stuff into new shed yet!! Or that would be covered in it too!)

Going to check on it in a bit.. my pal said to cover the window so that if he can fly he doesn't knock himself out trying to fly thru the window when the sun comes up.

So not only do I have a pigeon in the shed and a cat who doesn't care about his actions i now have the most hideous towel hanging over the shed window, held on with bricks. Oh well fingers crossed the pigeon survives! (I really don't know what am doing, but more than that I don't want to have to deal with a body if he doesn't!!)

Today I have started my snail farm... 

Love em

Hello funkychick2007,

Very happy to hear that my stories make you smile, and that they have someway caused a tradition in to coming into being. 

Given the 'smile' reference, and also what we are all going through with covid-19, then it would appear to me to be an ideal time to post this;

That's great to hear Wellyboot, thank you.

Now, you do know that that can be read two ways, don't you?

The first is that you recognise that there might be some pigeon shit to clear up in the morning.

The second is that your desire for this pigeon to survive the night is so great that you would consider it a win if it did. Not only that, but that you yourself would actually have a poo as some sort of clean up / celebration of the win campaign. 

Or, is the above only in my head?
