Good old HB!

I cannot let the sun set, nor indeed the moon rise, on my endeavours - I am still talking about the making of Barn Owl nestboxes, you understand - without acknowledging my debt to Hieronymus Bosch, inventor of the Cordless Power Drill.
How did we ever make little holes in wood, how did we ever drive screws in, before he came up with his brilliant invention? It's a difficult concept, the Cordless Power Drill - he must have gone through Hell.
Say what you like, but I believe in giving credit where it is due: without old HB, a lot of Barn Owls would be homeless today. Yes, all things considered, a helluva guy.
