Is it a bird?

Yes. Sitting on a chimney pot. I think it's a sign of bad luck in some cultures. Or maybe people just don't consider bird pooh in the fireplace to add value, propertywise.

Another ground out result of a day. If my working life was a football team it would be the Don Revie Leeds side of the early 70s - all graft and grumbles and no creativity.

You have to be a certain age to get that.

Ambition for tomorrow: to be more positive. Ambition for tonight (having been awake since 4.45) - to sleep. Am I a bird? Am I a plane? Well ...
