Pigeons: possibly the dumbest birds in the world

There is really no excuse for posting this picture, except that I thought it might make you smile. We have a very small bird bath, barely big enough to house a sparrow, but that didn't deter this pigeon from taking up residence there this morning. Either he didn't realise that his tail was getting wet or he had a hot bottom; either way, I thought he looked daft enough to warrant a photo.

In other news today, I've had a little play with Smashwords (see previous post) and uploaded a short story. At least I think I have. If you try to read it but are stymied, please let me know. It's free.

    Yep, not even pretty to look at.

    That is funny - and ridiculous! Thanks for the story, Julia and well done for experimenting with Smashwords. Was it straightforward to use?

      Thanks, Rosemary. Yes, it's straightforward. There is quite a scary-looking style guide, but once you get into it if you've used Word it's OK. The advice about cover design is a bit full on. They recommend using a 'proper' designer. I didn't go to the trouble for a free short story (my son created me something using Paint), and even for a paid novel I'm not sure I could run to the investment. Something to thing about.
