Peeved off

[Roland]

Well as many may recall, I've had a right shower of bad luck andwhat not over the last three seasons or so. Started with introducing new stock. CR$P came down the shoot big time. So what with one thing or another I struggled to, and replaced ll my old family. A new learning curve re - learnt.

Any way, bred 40 youngsters. Very many lost of the top.

Started to train, real slow. Soon down to 16 youngster. Then two chucks where the youngster hit torrential rain big time from 25 miles. But they came through well.

Picking days I got 2 50 mile tosses this past week and they were coming a treat, 16 bang home as one. Indeed I told Joyce these were as good a batch as I've ever possibly had.

First time in 4 years been interested in pigeons and first week where i haven't wanted to pack up Yes that is how I have felt every day. Not getting any buzz or interest. Only the thought That I'd know down the line Certainly in numbers of birds, against the odd one or two you build up on.

Rested and lazed around Friday. So was happy going to the club, but said nowt of course.

96 miler, a decent start and wing opener.

Up at 6 50.

9 0'clack Nary a sausage. 12 30 same, not a feather. Now next day, nary a feather.
