Purple Berries

Today started early. Moot, as is his habit, eats during the night now. Unfortunately he ate something that disagreed with him and consequently we were woken by the sound of a cat barfing up grass. 4.30 in the morning. Poor soul. So I cleaned it up and he got a bit a cuddle to let him know everything was alright.

He decided a couple of hours later, that he should get us up again. And so that's what happened. Lucky boy.

This afternoon we were out to meet friends from Berlin which was great fun. They have a son who is about 2 years old and never runs out of energy.

After a couple of hours playing we went for a drink in a cafe. It was an unusual experience.

Normally when I order a drink I expect it to end up in a glass on the table in front of me. Shows how out-of-touch I am with the ways of modern living. This particular beer was delivered from out of the glass and into my left ear. Well, that was to start with. After the initial surprise of beer induced deafness, it went a bit further and the rest of the beer was deposited in my lap.

It was certainly cold but it isn't the way I will enjoy my beer in the future.

So I had to leave our little group and make my way home. Through the centre of the city. Thankfully it's the City Fair this weekend so there were only about 100,000 people out who could get to see me in my beer soaked clothes. That felt great.

And so, a Blip of Purple Berries.
