Hi everyone. It's Jamie and Sophie from Nearly Parents and we are currently sponsored by Etsy

where you can find original items from small shops. Okay, so as a business owner myself, I love

knowing that Etsy has such a great community of sellers. It's so important. And the items I'm

buying have been made, designed and handpicked by real people. Etsy has all sorts of cool stuff

from handmade jewelry and vintage

jackets to handcrafted leather bags. It is also great for baby items with real people behind the shops

that sell everything from cute nursery decor to tiny little personalised jumpers. Shop the Etsy app.

Special starts on Etsy.

Crinkle the Piss Crisps, you innocent Vincent's, welcome to the Blind Boy podcast.

If this is your first episode, please consider listening to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself with the lore of this podcast. It's just approaching sunset here in my office

as I await the Starlings of Limerick City to do their marmiration. It's a lovely clear evening

out there. I hope to see them tonight. And if we don't see them, that means they're gone.

That means they're gone for their winter roost.

And the interesting thing about the winter roast for starlings is

they'll all congregate in a flock that could be hundreds of thousands,

hundreds of thousands of starlings will go to a dense forest or reed beds and those the limerick starlings are also

going to be joined by international starlings. There'll be starlings coming from northern Europe

trying to escape really, really cold winters there and they'll be joining the flocks of

starlings here and they're going to go

out the country into these gigantic roosts of hundreds of thousands of them. So we'll know

tonight it's sunset right now and if I don't see those starlings tonight then they're gone. They're

gone and then the Bardshed District is no longer covered in shit until next summer.
