Heat wave !!!.

Just thought I would ask how you lot are handling the temperature at the moment . I see the tennis players are working up a bit of a wee sweat there etc & it made me worried, some here may just fall off the perch as such, being so hot.

We are finely tuned athletes over here knackered so the heat dosnt affect us.
Nothing a nice cup of tea can't sort out mate.
As they say mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.

no choice but to stay indoors 29 here to-day

Steady on Boosey do you think I come down in the last shower etc "Finely tuned athletes" . Next you will be telling me your a mob of bronzed athletes also type of thing, like we have here on our Bondi beach as an example.

Spa treatment is that something similar       to a Thia massage type of thing Devo, with benefits. If so      George could need a bigger bath I suspect.

Jim Biss had the same in his stock loft George nothing wrong with that mate

thanks don had a visit from a good distance flier last night bought some birds of him and he ask if he could buy one of them back and had come to collect it he was impressed with my birds, said when showing him the birds I had 3 latebreds he replied he never keeps latebreds when he saw these 3 he wanted to buy them I said no but gifted him 2 he thought my pairs were just not correct and would visit me in December to keep me right

your pairs could't be to far wrong rainbow as he wonted to buy the late breads off you perhaps you should visit him in December and show him how its done

hi mark I only breed of a few pairs and play around with crossing them it's the breeds I cross don't think are right , rather than send just a few one loft racing I have a few out club racing see if this makes a difference the hens in the aviary I think I've only bred of 3 of them . it's 2 for the test loft i'm looking forward to getting right
