Here is another one that might raise the humour level.

I really enjoyed that!

Loved the sound effects right at the end, thanks for a laugh after a tedious, sh1tty day

@Marjoyou did send the pigeon back? Only it hasn't returned to the village mailing coup. The other two are now working extra flights but are a little tired and the villagers are waving placards outside the pigeon loft.

I do sympathise with them but there are restrictions on flying hours as there are on any modes of transport. I can only hope Walter has decided to take a little break as it is the village mating season. Apparently its the cold weather as we all cuddle up to reach other as we focus on keeping warm. Age is irrelevant and pigeons follow the villager's example.

Dreadful thought but I'm so not wanting to visualisation him being on the menu at the O2 admin lunch......

@jonsie don't worry, I sent the pigeon back, although it stayed for a fuss and refueling before taking off again. 

@Cleoriff You made me laugh with your "any pigeon activity"

This is a bit heavy for a post but here goes. Maybe someone will find this hopeful

There was one day, in hospital, when someone said '' Take one day at a time ''.  I couldnt do that. 

I tried one hour . I couldnt do that either.  1/2 hr ?  10 mins ? 5 mins? 1 min?  No.

But i could manage 10 secs.......

After mangaging 10 secs i could do a bit more. Then a bit more and like topsy it grew.  It doesnt matter where you begin 1 sec is ok. It'll grow with time. And you can always go back to  1 sec &begin again whenever you want

Everything changes one day.
