Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

A Curate's egg sort of day

A lovely day, but it didn't start off well!

Mrs T has a sore tooth and so first thing this morning she had an appointment with the dentist. So eager was she to get there that she reversed into the a dustbin and tore off the wing mirror. When she got to the dentist, the car park was full and so she had to use the Council car park. The machine happily consumed her money, but did it issue a ticket, no of course it didn't! Then the really bad news, the tooth is terminally ill and will have to be whipped out. Poor Mrs T was not a happy bunny when she got home. To cheer herself up, she decided to go into town using her old folk's free bus pass. Sadly, the bus was half an hour late in arriving despite starting out only 12 miles away!

To try to restore some equilibrium and calm to my life I set off for a walk in the warm morning sun. All was going swimmingly until I got to the road bridge across the Ythan river, to be met by this sight. A pair of morons has taken the trouble to transport 2 containers full of some Macdonald's tincture all the way from Aberdeen only to deposit them on the bridge parapet. Did they imagine that they had improved the view? I was going to refer to them as Neanderthals, but know that speciesism is wrong, and anyway it would be an insult to the Neanderthals!

A lovely day, just the day for a good rant. I feel much better already!
