PAIR OF PARTRIDGES

First thing this morning (glorious weather) a new piece of furniture turned up, delivered, unpacked and assembled in about 10 minutes by two very helpful chaps. About two hours later (clouding over) another piece of furniture turned up, unpacked and assembled by me in about 3.5 hours with lots of muttering, a modicum of swearing and a few blisters. Afterwards I needed some fresh air. Of course it started drizzling just as I left the house but I was still treated to some grey partridges, and lots of swallows and martins swooping over flooded fields.
