well, yes. What's your point?

renowned for girl tricks.

whether cloudhopper needs to attend a wit refresher course.

what's that? A peacock feather?!

her bum looks big, but that makes it good for sitting on.

what were we saying? Pigeon! Feather!!

bony bums look uncomfortable for sitting.

a peacock feather.

oh. Perhaps this yellow square thing isn't my bum, then? It's a cushion?

where did the pigeon go?

not heard of this before. It would not be nice to be a peacock.

giggling at the hungry pigeon.

it working?

once in a park in Poland where the peacocks roamed freely and happily.

look. The pigeon is back again.

that in the same big park, there was a peacock in a tree above all the park-goers heads. How did it even get up there?

they do look vicious, now you mention it.

having trouble remembering the name of the park. It's probably the pigeon's fault.

who won?

thinking cloudhopper would have been good at the sudden flamboyant turns.

Lazienki Park - that was it.

ho-ho. Now, that good tern deserves another.

there in late Spring, so quite, quite Wintery, but beautiful. Oh, so beautiful!

says to everything tern, tern, tern.(tern, tern, tern.)

cloudhopper was right. Well, an image to go with my terns. Slow tern around time, though.

last year we went to Poland and Russia (and so forth).

pleased. Not often boot can keep pace with cloudhopper.

she flew. She's magical, after all.

not her own roots, but acquired some from a couple of others.

interested in everything and will go where she can make the slightest connection.

still though - my Dad is Welsh and I've never been there. Tch.

up for that.

is good, you can do all the family visits. Then when I go, I can be you and just be a tourist.

damn.

you should never reveal your nefarious plan before it reaches it rich fruition.

she might take that biscuit and nibble it in bed.

this is likely.

, however, easily confused. So, who knows.

anyway, as we said, it was an outright fib.

to see a friend amused and heartened. Even if they don't share their biscuits.

if that's good.

digestives sound... [blinks]

crumbs!

on the other hand: biscuity goodness.

, actually, that they look quite tasty.

if that some sort of girl trick. Performed by a guy.

all yummm and such.

if that is somehow an implication that my bum looks big in this.

for the pigeon!

the pigeon!

the pigeon.

... hang on....

cloudhopper is obsessed with big bums and pigeons.

a biscuit, regardless.

whether Spot is really a suitable name for a pigeon.

have to take that last statement on faith.

there a form?

(to complain about pigeon names)

okay, okay. Me and my fur coat, spiked heels and horns are going to bed.

in agreement. (excellent pun)

a heart full of joy for catching you, even briefly.

let you do so. I'd claim a full set of pyjamas also, but it's Summer so that would be a big fat lie.

see? Back where we started.

not ask cloudhopper about his garb. It would be unseemly. And she's sleepy. Who knows what dreams may follow?

started spinning in circles. Fun!

I shall, wintery cloudhopper. Talk again soon, I hope.

shhh. Manly thoughts. Manly dreams.

no.

boot is probably not a kangaroo any more.

sure they also have scales on their tales.

at the least the roos she knows do.

cloudhopper not even met Skippy?

naaaaah, pre-CGI.

sure, the scene with Skip playing the drums was a bit sus, but I suspect fake paws.

not thought of that before. But of course, that makes much more sense.
