Very consoling, Hedgers.

Now then - I have no photographic proof, but on our way to Kielder we saw a white starling flitting aboot alongside yer usual sorts. It simply wasn’t possible to stop on the single track, yet quite busy, road. Cora was on Good Form and I’ll send evidence of this, later.

< checks Cellar anxiously >
Nope, no strangers. Would a nice ice-cream do you for the moment, Sparrer?
I think I handled that rather well

[HedgeSparrow]

I am told that it is a Modern Tradition to have ice cream post-vaccination. Didn’t see a van, though, and getting it from the supermarket is not the same.

I am not a cat or dog, though; and thus I do not need to be distracted from licking my injection site.

Makes sense, one step up from the lollipop we used to be given by the Nice Nurse when we’d been brave about the little prick. Yes they still used to call it that then.

TFD is still sulking that he didn’t get a lollipop after his first dose. Second dose next week, maybe I should buy one for him.

Well, I know. Ice cream is useful azzan distraction from licking strangers (for them azz needs it).

Here is Cora, blatantly ignoring the one-way system:

Love that Bird.

I’d like to watch you doing that, though; it would be like someone trying to lick their elbow.

[ThatFunnyMummy]

Um, I just tried that and I can do it quite easily.

[HedgeSparrow]

Ditto. Basic preenin’ innit?

[ThatFunnyMummy]

Thinking about it, I have had injections in places I couldn’t lick myself. Not saying I’d let a stranger do it for me though.

[Gus]

@ThatFunnyMummy

I can do it quite easily.

You never said you were of chameleon heritage, dere. Tell us about your festivals and customs;- )

[ThatFunnyMummy]

Nah. I’m nowhere near that pretty.

[Gus]

Oh, our Cora is a brave bird, with her feathers fine and dark;
If you truly do adore her, leave a kidney in the park.

[Gus]

Wheesht, wumman. You’re less green, I’ll grant you that.

[Fanta]

@ThatFunnyMummy

Um, I just tried that and I can do it quite easily.

Your injection site, or your elbow?

[some of] You are familiar with the Dark Morris;
this is the Dark Flamenco, and every bit as important to the orderly continuation of …everything.
