Lines

Lines seems to be the abstract challenge today. I can do lines, abstraction maybe not so well .

This is the scaffolding erected next door yesterday. I’ve talked to the workers today. They’ll hose down the dust layer on my conservatory roof at the end of the job, On the martins they said they hadn’t seen them yesterday, I responded that there was a reason for that (no doubt they think me weird for caring about a nest). And I asked them to turn their (very loud) radio off - I want to open a window on a hot day without hearing commercial radio blaring close by all day. We reached a compromise - they moved the radio to the back (it apparently helps with their motivation), which was OK.

Yesterday I’ve seen six martins flying around, so I am hoping the young have managed to fledge. When they do they seem to like short flights, returning to the nest occasionally. These youngsters might be being forced to take longer flights very early.
