Day 79

Hello again my faithful followers!!!

Welcome to the world of Polly....again! lol

Same old same old same old - thats just the start of the day - weighed and fed and put out on the block....

At the time of been put outside it was a nice enough kind of day - bit of sunshine and a light breeze - so comfortable for me - and I suppose for Gizmo and Kai too!!

Then mid afternoon the heavens opened - there were huge long flashes that filled the black sky followed almost instantly by the loudest blood curdling bangs of thunder - I dont mind letting you all know - I was scared stiff!!!

Not only was it rain, but huge great balls of ice too - and believe me they hurt as they rained down on us birds!!!

Now as a rule a few spots of rain and dad shoots out to bring us in - only this afternoon both he and mum were out - so we sat there and waited.....admitted it wasnt for long till dad got home....but it really was cold, wet, noisy and horrible!!!

By this time the bad weather had passed over and the sun was out again so we all spread wide our wings and let the sunshine warm us and dry us in the process....it was heavenly!!!

Dad was in and out for an hour - think he was considering taking us in earlier than usual but in the end decided against it....which we didnt mind cos from teatime on there is always lots of noise and people passing by the gate so we have a nosey at them....

Without real warning though, the rain came again, followed by what we heard say was thunder and lightening - none of us like that stuff so hoping this was a one off!!!

Again nobody took us in - we know dad had gone out so thought any minute now mum will rescue us - she will - we know she will - but she didnt!!!!

If only she had taken pictures - we were so wet it would have been difficult for you to actually say what the photos were of as our feathers stick solidly to us so we all looked as though we were bald!!! Luckily we didnt have to stay out for too long so now we are indoors again having been fed and put onto a perch to dry off!!!

We are now hoping for NO MORE RAIN - phew - its a big big hope though isnt it??

Thats all for this tale people - be back again tomorrow with more news and gossip from Barn Owl Diary
