| Kookaburra Sits On the 'Lectric Wire |
Today, whilst waiting for the traffic to pause long enough for me to scurry across the road, I saw something that made me very happy.
A kookaburra.
Sitting on the powerlines.
I looked very closely, but couldn't make out any tears in it's eyes... and despite watching for some minutes, there was no sign of fire. Nor could I identify any clear indicators of gayness, in either the emotional or orientational sense. In fact, it looked downright disgruntled as it was eventually chased off by a flock of small, harrassing, noisy grey birds that I'm not 100% sure of the name of.
I was still grinning and humming to myself as I approached my desk.
"What's wrong with you?" asked KM, suspiciously. KM and LB sit opposite me at work. My current favourite moment of the day is when I tell KM how many days I have left until I go on holidays. That, and bringing back cupcakes from the bakery at lunchtime to eat in front of her.
"I just saw a kookaburra!"
She looked confused.
"Sitting on the powerlines!"
She looked like she was considering my sanity.
"But it wasn't on fire!"
She looked like she'd come to a decision about my sanity, and told me not to be so cheerful.
It still made my day. The kookaburra was even better than when we overheard LB on the phone arranging for a repair person to come and look at her gorilla, and I suggested that maybe someone had broken the gorilla whilst monkeying around with the elephant. |

I just read that in the tune of the chorus to 'Supermassive Black Hole' by Muse.
Well, the title, anyway.
Weird.
