First race from frogland

We have just got the results from our first race in frogland.

Race distance was 93.2 miles.  Birds up at 08:30 hrs.

We were 3rd and 4th Club.

A good start methinks.  I am hoping for better in a few weeks when our birds get used to being in a basket with other birds and get used to the system they will be on.

Happy days.

Fingers Phil

Too late mate - I have got two of them already.

Thanks for the nice words.

Phil

Thank you to all that have passed on their encouraging words to us BOTH.

Like Ray and his bro, it is a joint effort here - my loveliness does as much as I do towards getting these birds right. She is especially fantastic with the babies and y/b's - must be that Mothering part of her coming to the fore.

Cheers everyone.

Phil & Hil

well done phil hope the great results for you carry on

2 My feeling is Phil sadly, shortly we could have here, after your latest episode etc a one eyed, one arm & one legged type, who would be more at home living in Bristol I suspect than in froggy land.

good start mate

Any chance of me borrowing your hil for the season, my Mrs hates the pigeons with a vengeance , and she doesn't drive which is a pain, but when I'm ill with my arthritis she's the first one down the loft to feed and water them, go figure

Women ah! Lofty - We will never understand them fully.

You know that men feel the need to 'make everything right, or to fix it (whatever IT might be at the time) - that is a bloke thing.

Women on the other hand, need to TALK things though. All they need is to talk it out. We, men, don't need to do anything - just listen. We don't have to put it right or to fix it - we just have to listen.

And that was the hardest thing for me to learn, when it come to dealing with women.

I can't profess to understand your wife Lofty any more than you do. All I can say is "be grateful she does the birds at all".

Thank's Dr Phil from my experience they are an absolute pain for most of the time etc     but something one cannot do without fortunately from my perspective.

Well done phil. .great start

phil has hit the nail on the head so to speak...women like to have a good old chin wag about things and men just like to get on with it ...I think we balance eachother out most of the time its when yer not taking any notice of the waffle and you get found out that's when the s**t hits the fan ...
