grumpy birds

I have a very aggressive little robin in the front garden this morning.  I bought a packet of "song bird mix" which is probably like caviare to birdies, and he's been guarding the bird table all morning!  Every time the sparrows try and get some he charges at them. I knew that they were territorial with other robins, but I'd never seen them chase other types before.  I'll have to put some up in a different spot so the sparrows have a chance - and hang some peanuts up.  It's nasty weather now, so they need the help.

I've been trying to do more editing--I say "trying" because the furry monsters are driving me mad. everytime i sit down at the table one or other of them joins me, sits on the warm pile of paper and then flops onto their side and bats their eyelids at me.  Severus was patently BORED this afternoon and kept biting my free hand as if to say, Don't keep doing that, tickle me!!!

I wish I had a camcorder so I could record it for you lot, like that chap did with the cat on his shoulders when he was trying to write.

Most amusing line found in the editing so far: He left the kitchen to see to the livestock. Now while this makes sense in a literal way, if you read it the other way it's hilarious. I doubt the kitchen will be any help with the livestock at all. When Jonathan comes back he's going to find the cows unmilked and the chicken unfed. Kitchens can't do animal husbandry!  No thumbs!

With thanks to abstractrx for this video. M/M dancing is becoming a bit of a passion of mine recently, and I may have to start researching male/male Argentinian tango... being performed in seedy underground clubs where the floor is nothing but dirt - and the men wear black cotton trousers and sweaty vests and nothing else. Where blood, sex and passion is all there is.....

*Explodes with the bunnies*

The thing about most m/m Argentinian tangos I've been *cough* researching *cough* recently, is that - and most particularly in this case - is that there's nothing "effeminate" about it - these men are duelling on the dance floor. Look at the section at the beginning particularly, the story seems to be that they are fighting for every inch of control - and around 40 seconds, they are blocking each other.  Just love 'em. None in Norfolk though. *weep*
