I was shaving when it happened, it was very early in the morning. I at once opened the window and it could fly out. The noise he made sliding down inside the chimney was pretty scary though, it lasted ten minutes... a long sliding bringing down grit and sooth...a bit of a Gothic scene...<br /><br />Thank you for the comment on my poem.<br />All my best, DavideTommaso Gervasuttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137499390434949734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-28732397232903655242009-07-01T09:17:29.730+01:002009-07-01T09:17:29.730+01:00How lovely to have a sympathetic contractor.How lovely to have a sympathetic contractor.Forthvalley scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128591514560815991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-51167045317188463342009-07-01T08:48:07.063+01:002009-07-01T08:48:07.063+01:00I am glad that the Swifts are receiving help.
