A little bit of peace.....or is it?

Today I decided that I would get the shopping for the weekend so that I can spend tomorrow in the garden tidying up around the patio and re-arranging it.
After I had examined what Tesco had to offer and ticked off the items on my list I headed for home over Castle Green.
As the weather is still very good and the birds were singing, I sat down on a bench under a cherry tree in full blossom to listen. It was very quiet, even with the noise of the city traffic in the background, so I sat there listening to the birdsong and watching a blackbird gathering worms for his young. This was perfect bliss.
When I looked up at the sky which was cloudless, I noticed the criss cross vapour trails that have been absent since everything was grounded due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
My peaceful sojourn was ended abruptly when my ears were assaulted by some uncouth yobbo yelling a string of obscenities at his companion. She never uttered a word. I got up and continued on my way thinking that if he had yelled at me like that, I would have floored him!

  1. If ahe ever does clobber him, it may be the last time he yells at her. People like that need to be left alone. They're trouble.
