Birds of a feather

Sitting on my balcony last week, I spent a great deal of time watching a bird creating a nest for its little ones. The bird was one determined mama and worked throughout the day to get the job done, leaving me to feel guilty as I lay there, like a whale, with one hand in my bag of cherries, the other on my bottle of non-alcoholic wine. Inspired by my new feathered friend, I let my head loll around to take in the “lived-in” room behind me and realised I could no longer live like this; it was time to get the house baby-ready.
