Animal Crime Scene

Hey hey, I'm feeling better! That means back to uni and attending lots of tutorials on the lectures I missed through being ill. Thankfully I have the latent, middle-class, basic knowledge of Marxism that we all absorb through our late teens and early twenties so bullshiting was the order of the day.

The coolest thing ever happened yesterday, I came downstairs at 12.30pm to find a dirty great sparrowhawk sitting in my garden near the veggy patch. I watched for a while then it flew into the tree and hid, so I went outside to get a closer look. The sparrowhawk flew off as soon as I went outside, but I went over to where it had been sitting and there was a mess of grey feathers and a few little chunks of flesh. There had been a killing, in my own garden! I think it was fat pigeon's friend (as fat pigeon came back soon after, to my relief) so I am sad for FP as he had been flirting and making progress with the newcomer. Nevermind, life goes on.

I went for a drink with new uni friend Ralph last night, making me feel like less of a social pariah. After having flu for a week and a half and feeling like utter crap, things are looking up.
