I've just been to feed the ducks again. A lot of fucking and fighting, amongst the ducks, with the swans gliding around and reminding me of Pratchettian elves- beautiful to look at but utter bastards.

Beer came over a little earlier while I was washing up and was trying to convince me to go for a walk with him and I persuaded him to come to Roath Park lake with a loaf of bread. We bimbled down there, talking about nothing in particular, and he got all excited about the rowing boats. Apparently we're marauding this summer. He bought me a lemonade ice lolly, which reminded me of being about seven, by the sea in Southampton; Mayflower Park had the biggest slides you'll ever see and magnificent roundabouts which have been removed now for being unsafe. If I'm rich when I'm older, I'm making an adult sized playground, one the council won't have to worry about being sued for because it'll be mine. And I'll have proper equipment, not the careful play of an age of litigation. And I hope I never lose that urge.

We wandered up the side of the lake, feeding ducks and geese and attempting to nail the swans with breadcrusts... although that might have just been me. And when we were standing on the bridge, he ripped a piece of bread in half and passed a piece over, and I confess, sad as it is, I melted a little.

And now I'm gonna eat some curry that someone else cooked, and curl up in bed with Peter Wimsey.

Good day.

I've been past Roath Park lake four times today and no-one threw even one piece of bread to me.

Enjoy the curry.

Did you see me? I was the one in the tweed jacket and sunglasses, eating an ice lolly in the frickin' cold, wandering along with a rather tasty young man. ;)

I don't know that I did but I'll peer harder next time though, especially if there's a tasty manperson about. Did he cook the curry too?

Nah, Bigger's blokie cooked the curry, but free foooooood is always good. ;)

Oh yes. I agree with that entirely. You gave free food to the ducks, you get free food back. It's only right and proper.
