Sitting On Top Of The World

Well, he wasn't really sitting on top of the world but he looked happy enough. He had a little shy girlfriend who was sitting on a twig at the side of the shed. Do you think he was looking for my approval? No, me neither but it was rather sweet!

Tesco Man came as usual but ten minutes earlier than the the delivery slot time and I had to open the door before I'd even brushed my hair! Even though I'd washed it first thing, I hadn't bothered brushing it and I opened the door looking like I had a bird's nest on my head! It was the usual cheerful big chap with the deep voice and I took it completely the wrong way when he asked me laughingly why I'd bothered ordering eggs as I'd probably have loads of my own soon. I was shocked and horrified and grabbed my hair brush and was muttering about how it had dried funny and then I saw the first crate in the porch. Looking at the list, I could see I'd ordered twenty bags of Peckish Complete instead of two!

Remember me telling you how I'd tidied out part of my food cupboard a couple of weeks ago? Well, now it's full of bird seed! No wonder Tesco Man was looking at me like I had three heads! Yes, the hair was bad but twenty bags of bird seed? Instead of the mad old cat lady that seems to exist on most streets, I expect I have been labelled as the mad bird woman! He looked a bit worried and was looking over my shoulder each time he walked up the drive. I expect he was worried that budgies and pigeons were going to fly through the door and shit all over him while pecking his eyes out like in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.

Well, I hope that little birdie is happy after all the trouble he has caused!
