No, not originally rude, Gus. But I enjoyed Colette, greatly, when she met me.
We have discovered that we are able to meet up with a couple of friends, en plein air, now that the restrictions have been clarified…so, we’ll be out walking with them in the morning. Best nights, Cellarites,

Meanwhile in Australia:
Australian man suffers double eye injury in magpie swooping attack after ‘conversation’ turns ugly (note, picture of bloke with eye injury)
What started as a “one-way conversation” with a magpie has ended with a Victorian man airlifted to hospital with serious injuries to both his eyes.

Glindemann said at that stage he had “not dropped my meal”, which appeared to have been a mistake.

Got to love the laconic Aussie style of “I became a bit concerned at this stage."
