Small Talk #93

by

I've learnt lots of new words on holiday in Paxos. My favourite is 'cockerel'. I say it very well. I like saying it because Uncle S and Aunty W have a cockerel in the air which shows the way the wind is blowing. It's a magic cockerel. Every day it says 'cock-a-doodle-do' all the morning, but it seems a long way away. Baba says it's throwing its voice across the valley.

What Baba also said was "Doesn't that bloody cockerel ever stop?"

But Granny said he's been saying lots of words he shouldn't in front of me.
