Apparently, I communicate with squirrels

[darcydodo]

So the concert went well, though it didn't actually feel so when we were singing; but having been reassured that we must actually have been fairly loud, and the acoustics were just bad for performers, I'm a bit reassured.

But the strangeness of today: I was walking towards Chavez just before we were meeting there to warm up, and I saw a squirrel run down a tree and into the ivy. So, as I tend to, I clicked at it to see if I could get its attention briefly. Well, I didn't just get its attention. It stopped and looked straight at me, so I stood still and kept clicking. And it ran towards me and jumped onto my leg and began climbing up it. I was, of course, freaked, so I jumped, which scared it, and it ran away. Besides, it probably had ticks or fleas or rabies or was otherwise unsanitary, so it's just as well that I didn't let it climb up high enough that it could bite me. But woah.

Reminds me of when you were trying to sing a frog mating call, and managed :)

It reminded me of that, too....

Lots of frogs in the pond back behind sampiano's house in Edinburgh. They were croaking at each other most romantically, it being springtime. So I thought to imitate their call, and got lots of pairs of frog eyes staring at me. It was highly amusing.

It's also probably the thing my mum most remembers about you :)

The thing I most remember about that journey was the Trossachs...

Hee hee, you said Trossachs. ;)
