The Lazy Sunday Service

(The picture right is the Snake House Bus Stop, which should probably be moved onto the Route 62 in Glasgow - see the two posts from Big Beat From Badsville. I found it at Top 10 buildings shaped like animals!)

And for anyone interested in what became of the swallow chicks, here they are the day before they flew the nest

Swallows and Amazon

A swallow chick made its first visible appearance yesterday evening in the nest above the back door. I hope it likes rain as this little corner of Ireland has had more per square foot than the Amazon so far this month! I managed to take this photo whilst being divebombed by protective parents. The forecast is for rain until at least Wednesday. The planet might be getting warmer, but it just feels like wetter in this neck of the woods. At least it gives an excuse to read a book rather than tackle the waterlogged garden - which presently resembles a jungle! I need some reading with a lot of sun and some humour - suggestions?
