wild geese (livid, in fact)

The sun was shining and the longest day looked to be a good one. So I set off for Dewsbury to collect a spare computer battery and immediately the heavens opened. Motorway spray took us all down to 20mph. The deluge lasted my entire journey. I picked up said battery and headed straight back. About two miles from home it eased up so I diverted into Cannon Hall park. The ducks and geese were all asleep under a tree and as soon as I opened the car door they came a-runnin'. They were well miffed when they realised I had no bread. I offered them extra strong mints and they did a little 'fed-up and a bit cross' sort of dance.
