Went to the doctor last night. he took one listen to my chest and prescribed antibiotics and other stuff.
I have an infection on top of the emphysema and the bronchiectisis. In other words, I am pretty sick.
Why didn't I come sooner, he asked. Because I have been too bloody sick, I said. He couldn't argue with that.
I am not feeling any better at all, but I reckon in 48 hours I will be like a new one.

12 yearlings, and 2 two year olds.
It always seems strange, on the 1st of August race horses and pigeons have a birthday. So my young birds are now yearlings.
They had been fairly well educated before the winter.
Most of them are paired up, a few of them are on eggs, and others are courting. So I was pleased to see that most of them trapped reasonably quickly on their first go.
When the excitement of that had settled down, I let them all out, and they flew and played for 2 hours before finally all dropping in.
I couldn't be more pleased.

I got held up for a while at some road works, and when I got home most of them were in the loft. A couple of younger ones were messing about.
I let them all out and they flew very well for ages.
I am very pleased with the pigeons, but doubts are growing about the races. The race area includes some fliers who are flying 40 kilometres further and to the south east.
So I am going to be the short marker, and out to the west. The drag will go past me about 6 or 8 kilometres away. I will have to do some serious training to make them break away and come to me.
It will be interesting
