Excitement

[stoutfellow]

There is or was a bird in the house - a sparrow of some kind, with a slightly upturned beak (I think).

I have been trying to chivvy it out of the house. This involves putting the dogs out and closing the door through which they could return, and then opening the front door wide (in high-30s F weather...).

The door is currently closed; the dogs are inside and calm. This may mean that the bird did indeed slip out while I was looking for it elsewhere. But it may not; we have reached this state of affairs three times now.

Stupid bird.

A bird once came down my chimney, of all things. This was back when Morgan and Linnet were still alive. They basically went nuclear, but the bird did escape, with help from me [wry g]. I kept finding bits of soot in weird places for some time after that. It also taught me to keep the damper *closed*.
