Branching out.

Seeing I have only my cockatiel left now I thought I would buy a new perch for him. Went to a garden centre where they also sold pet stuff. They had adapted a tree branch and put a metal fastener on the end that would fasten it to the cage so it was ideal for my purpose. I picked one up and started to look at other things in the centre. I am usually quick off the mark with complete strangers if they speak to me, and a chap came up to me and asked me if I was water divining? I said no but I did need the toilet, so it could be that.. Then a lady came up and asked me why I was carrying a piece of tree in my hand? I quickly said it was my 'comforter'. These ribald interchanges went on for most of the time I was in the shop. It was only when I got home that I realised that people actually might have thought that I was a nutter walking round a garden centre with a large twig in my hand? and did not realise it was a cage accessory? doh!
