The Chalybeate

Saturday 24 May 2008

Interpret this, sucker !

I leaned out over the balcony of our room in Danby Wiske, overlooking a courtyard on a bright, sunny morning. The road behind the pub was quiet, but this was compensated by the number of birds which variously cheeped, chirped, sang and called all around us.

Then I saw the following:

First, a pair of doves in the courtyard.
Next, a pair of goldfinches on the red-tiled roof to my left.
Then, a pair of robins upon the wall opposite.
And finally, a single jackdaw swooped into the courtyard and preened and pranced about.

So, Oracle, tell me what it means.

And, if you're being predictive, that evening as we were being driven back to our farmhouse B+B high in the moor-surrounded dale, a chocolate-brown hind dashed across the road immediately in front of us, pursued by a flash of owl.

It's all nonsense, of course.
