I witnessed something from my bedroom window today that shocked and appalled me. I was casually drinking a cup of tea (decaff of course!) when a huge commotion erupted outside a few feet from my window.
It was a shock to see 2 guys positively brawling and shouting aggressively, one had obviously stolen the others property and was refusing to return it, the other insisted it was his by rights. The volume of shouting increased and the kicking and thumping was getting worse. This was developing into a real issue, I was about to go outside and step in when a group of, well best described as teen females to be polite, all turned up at once and shouted encouragement. They were also jostling each other so they were obviously taking sides.
The big guy kicked the other to the ground and started jumping and attacking, the females gathered round shouting abuse. It was like a scene from a horror movie, in the end they all piled in and the ‘feathers flew’. I had a good mind to give them healthy advice on how to behave, but being a profound pacifist, I just banged on the window. The noise stopped, they all looked at me in horror and flew away. Bloody sparrows, can’t anyone have a peaceful start to their day!
