Murdering sleep

Ah, Sunday mornings: A time for catching up on sleep and long lie-ins, undisturbed by the beep beep beep of the alarm clock.

Usually.

This morning, however, I was woken by the sound of two pigeons competing to produce the loudest, throatiest coo. Either that or they had some kind of nasal infection -- if pigeons have noses or nasal equivalents. Impossible to sleep through and they've tucked themselves away on the balcony upstairs, so I can't throw something at them.

7.30 on a Sunday morning and I'm wide awake. Great; just great.

Pigeons: Vermin with wings.
