Ramblings of a Disorientated Mind

I saw the coolest thing on my way home from work today!

I was walking home, along the quay as I usually do. It’s a clear cool night, and I was looking at the water and at everything [again, as I usually do - this might explain why I almost get run over so often...] and as I walked past the marine police/ harbour offices I heard the call of a bird. It sounded like a water bird, a wader maybe. It was high and piping kind of like ‘pwet-pee’. So I think cool and carry on over the bridge. There where a lot of planes out tonight, and the sky was generally really clear so I was looking at the moon and the stars and , ooh look. there was some small bird like creature. at first I thought it was just a trick of the light, or it was ash or something, but then all of a sudden there was a whole flock! and then more and more. there must have been maybe a couple of hundred passed over the bridge coming from the mud flats at upton and flying over towards the purbecks, all silent little flitty things, grey against the black.

It really was magical and generally awsome

I broke my rule of not having any dr pepper or chocolate before going to bed and we didn’t get in bed untill midnight last night. And though I slept soundly, I feel like warmed over cow poop. I guess I’ll drop into sainsburies on the way to work and pick up a can of relentless or something…
