Description
A few days ago I was talking via the interjet thingy to one of my close friends on dA. I'm sure she won't mind me telling you who it was.I was chatting to Ang *mstargazer , when the family of swans and cygnets that frequent the marina turned up at the front of my boat looking for food.
I took my laptop onto the welldeck and fed them, whilst Ang listened to the squeaks that the chicks, now almost as big as their ever attentive parents, made in their frenzy of bred snaffling.
Noticed how Dad has got his tongue out?
I said I would try to photograph them as they are now. I have shots of them in my gallery when they were but a few weeks old.
I dedicate the shots of the cygnets and swans to Ang *mstargazer .... more than a virtual friend....more a very comfortable and valuable part of my life.
Hope you like em, CBs

aww sweetie, there's plenty of Nig to go around, I figure Cindy can have him on Friday nights, I will take Saturdays and you can have em on Sunday
he'll be busy, but he that might keep him out of trouble

I'm busy on Fridays -- can I take Tuesdays? Hey, I have an idea (that's usually not a good thing) let's... no wait. That won't work. How many days are in a week again?
Maybe we need to start a new club. Perhaps women who love Nigel could have weekly meetings - maybe meet on Tuesdays... no - I think I'm busy on Tuesdays. What were we talking about? Hey - did you hear the news? I'm 55! What? No - I just had some coffee. Who's Nigel?

That's good! You don't mind sharing? Hope Cindy doesn';t either! This could work real well but I hope it won't put too much strain on the ol' blokes ticker!

Hey - if I knew you had a little foible I wouldn't have agreed to take Tuesday nights! Wait til I tell Ang and all your other groupies - I can't believe you would try and get away with this! You! With the little foible!! I am outraged!!! And I love exclamation points!!!!!!!!

That's not entirely true - I had an idea once. It was a long time ago and I've completely forgotten what it was, but...

My mother used to tell me that if I had forgotten something, it must have been a lie. I have never understood that, but then I'm not really bright. I think she should have said, "if you have forgotten something, it must have been a rubbish idea." Makes more sense and is most likely true.

So what does it mean -- we can't remember lies? I'm sure that's not true!
I'll bet my mum stories could beat your mum stories...
