It seems strange just putting just a 10 in the year part of the date ( above ) , as it just doesn’t look right , so I think I’ll stick with 2010 for the time being , well that is until I get sick of it and just start using just the ....10……….probably tomorrow …
……..or possibly now this second………….:)
…………5.1.10
Driven by the Plough
----------------------------------------------
Now judging by the title - I reckon your probably expecting some seasonal tale set in a pastoral England of the 1930’s , full of over acting and strange plotlines - here.
Well if you can call - me , some salami and cheese sandwiches and two deer - that ,
read on ……….. and be prepared to be - astounded , amazed and bedazzled …..
………..or not…….. :)
I was riding to work today on my ever trusty B.S.A * bicycle -
( * B.S.A stands for Birmingham Small Arms who made , bicycles and yes – guns, amongst many other things ) - in the newly falling snow, and decided to detour around by the police headquarters road as it is always clear , but then had to backtrack on to a snow covered road at the end of my journey.
This particular road - surprisingly - had one of those new fangled - steam powered snow ploughs on it , so I rode on the wrong side of the road as they do in the colonies - I believe , as it had already been cleared , and noticed two deer bolting across my path - obviously spooked by the snow plough .
Now according to that Darwin chap - Deer are normally pretty timid and elusive creatures , but this pair just stopped 20 or so yards (18 meters ) away from me on the car park and just stood looking………the confounded cheek of them ………
So I then wondered what these confounded animals were doing in this area , never mind not running away , and then it struck me , it had been snowing on and off for two weeks here and they were probably foraging for food.
So - two of those new fangled - salami and cheese sandwich’s - later at
The Soft Touch Deli ‘ , and they both seemed fairly happy.
I just hope they don’t tell their friends, as even the trusty B.S.A won’t outrun these chaps …………although maybe another B.S.A product is in order here ……..
hmmmmm……………
………venison for breakfast and a wonderful bonus trophy for the wall……..
………absolutely spiffing….. :)
Now - just to head off the politically correct - “I’m executing Bambi- hate mailers “ at the pass – this is a joke :) ………you know ……….HA…HA…HA ……
