O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us?
Well I've a rough idea of what they'd be thinking if they'd wandered down the canal path and overheard us chatting the other night. Not good.
The Northern Monkey: Have you seen the swans on canal? There's a whole flotilla of the bastards, this morning they woke me up at dawn. There must be a way to shoot them, or at least scare them off
The Suburban Bushwacker: I stamped a pigeon to death this morning
The Northern Monkey: Any reason? Or you just fancied it?
I could tell you the rest of the story, a tale of tracking a wounded avian across the small expanse of a suburban car park, the pitiful sight of it's suffering and it's dispatch. But it's probably funnier if I leave that bit unsaid.

ReplyDeleteLOL - you should have been there when TNM said it, I was in stitches.
Sometimes I want to use the blog as a testing ground for new attempts at writing - the one with the tourist came off really well - this one?
Thanks for commenting it's about the only metric I have as to how well my writing is progressing.

You guys over there and your metric system. Ack.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your experiments. Keep at it.
