It's An Ex-Parrot

Pigeon actually.
It left it too late to take off.
It left its remains on the road for lots of others to use as target practice.
They didn't miss judging by what i saw on my return trip.

Bags (formally known as daughter) was having new tyres and exhaust put on her car this morning - which is why I met the ex-parrot.
At the garage there was an old Triumph Herald which was in pretty good nick for never having had a renovation.
I liked the slogan on the window --- I have had many a car that this could refer to.

God knows why the Cygnet was insisting on wearing 2 hats.
He was out for two walks with SWMBO today and he insisted on holding her hand the whole time on both of them ....... she was honoured.

The saga of the lies and backstabbing from certain elements at the camera club rumbles on - but the source is being narrowed down so the end game will be won by us .... the targets of their vindictiveness.
