No, not the latest sexploitation flick from the States, but an amazing admission from our very own Jay. Currently the owner of a great mane of chestnut hair, she is having it all hacked off!

So, how short are you going?

Changing the colour as well?

Go on, admit it, you're only doing it to keep up with my receding hairline!

She's finished nesting....now she's realised that her life will only be complete with a nice husband and a list of housework each day ;-)

Hey I'll have you know I flirt a lot most days!! Nesting pah!

-- Anonymous, July 26, 2000

It's no good saying "Pah!", look at the facts:

You've bought a place and spent weeks smartening it up (the equivalent of a good triple-fork near the top of a tree with plenty of long twigs to bind it together tightly). Now you are shedding your winter plummage ready for a big Summer display to attract a mate. Come the start of the season you'll be parading around, singing your mating song and puffing out your chest. I wouldn't miss it for the World ;-)

That's nesting, that is!

But I have been living in my house for over three years Softie!

PS I don't have that much of a chest top puff out ! ;o)

Mr Pay Some Other Sap to do it you mean! I only work for money. Dirty, difficult, stressful. The sole exception is digging holes and concreting. I love that! Best exercise in the world and a great sense of achievement. I last did some about 3 years ago when my folks needed a turning bay round the back of their house. 12 cubic yards of ballast dumped in the road with an electric mixer and 30 bags of dust and me, a wheelbarrow and a shovel to get them up the slope, then mixed into concrete and poured. Did it all that day (no mean feat), including an extra foot alongside the existing roadway to make a drainage channel. Lovely job. I should have taken pictures. The secret is in the preparation. Really enjoy the permanance of a good expanse of concrete; feels like you've made your mark.

Used to enjoy continuing the tradition of putting a coin from the current year under a chimney pot. When you repoint a really old one you find all sorts of funny old coins under them.

Thanks for that Screacher. My list of things I get a genuine sense of pleasure and fulfilment from has just got that little bit shorter. Rotten bugger! ;-)
