News of ghostly object drifting in Wind...etc.

 

 

Last night Archemedies the Owl came by, he was upset and worried, “There's a thing,” he said urgently, “And I don't know what it is!”

“Okay, what does it look like?” I asked passing from sleep to awake, “I mean does it have a shape?”

“None of us can see it until we're close up, then we're too close up, and we drop!”

“Not good,” I said, “You must tell the others not to go that close up!”

 

Archemedies nodded and put down on a branch. I don't think he was too close to me, perhaps some trees away.

“Look,” he said opening his mind to me. I saw it then. It was like silly putty or gel, transparent like a bubble of magic is, only in a giant size clump.

“Is it magic?” I asked, “I don't know what a bit that size would do!”

“I don't know,” he said, “Half of them are in shock, the others are dead before they hit the ground!”

“I'll pass it on,” I said finally, “Perhaps someone will know what it is!”

“Or...” he said sadly, “They will detrust you further!”

“I have to try,” I d told him softly, yet he was on the wing again. His duty was done. I hoped I hadn't lost half the flight against the unknown gel. I hope it isn't fallout!

I went off to the shops today, to pick up essentials, and passed by the little floristery, and the cafe that came into being with my Grandfather's help. The next too shops from Tesco onwards were in planning at the time. Grandfather always suggested that I should take the house behind where Tesco is now, if all else was taken. There is well access at the front door which establishes it as part of the once mill run. Its been taken as well btw.

 

There was a man wandering about from van to van with a delivery. He kept calling into the shop about the strangest mission I'd ever heard of, his orders were to deliver it when a certain person was out of the way.

I listened, because always the oddest things amuse me.

“Shes out of the way for sure now,” he yelled in, “We can agree on that, we can see her!”

I looked about, I couldn't see anyone else. How odd can people get!

 

The person inside agreed, so he loaded the other van as I passed by. I hope this isn't the horrid flower delivery scam from the last place repeated. I half wish them luck. Whatevers going on, perhaps it isn't whats delivered thats really wanted. Norwich somedays is simply odd.

I
came back to the horrible radio crew operating away, when I left they
were claiming that the radio was out of action because they couldn't
get the bit to repair it... she had been hammering on all night long.

 

A
new crew were on now, perhaps doing the computer stuff instead, the
older one said to her partner a younger woman something that
began... Jasmin...
