3rd February. Gorilla In The Night.

A Budgie fell off it's perch sometime in the early hours, which is just another reason why it's hard to ever get a nights sleep hereabouts.

The procedure involves getting out of bed to put the kitchen light on otherwise whatever bird has lost it's footing can't see anything and is reduced to a complete panic.

This meant being awoken not only in the middle of the night but also in the middle of a dream about the Iconic Woman (see previous).

The iWoman seemed concerned about the fate of a pregnant gorilla, which was strangely much smaller than an actual gorilla, about the size of a Marmoset but still a Gorilla nonetheless.

I'm afraid I had little to offer in the way of advice.

Are all these fairly low species level creatures not just a way of filling up an unfulfilling life? Budgies? cats that can pee? damaged roosters etc?

Getting a life in the real world may be preferable, however stressful? Perhaps?

Reproduction is often championed as Reality although I found it a little harsh to be honest.

These pets/animals are one of the necessary compromises in this particular Marriage, it could be worse, in fact looking back, it has been.

I wish I was able to empathise. But if the compromise is tending for months to a feline who is unable to urinate independently then I have no concept of how bad things could have been, previously.

The Editor said...

In my experience younger people (ie in the early twenties) see the world from a much more black & white perspective and therefore find any degree of compromise difficult.

When the crockery begins to fly, Love's Young Dream becomes a full blown nightmare.

Mmm perhaps that's it, though maybe as people get older they settle for less, put ideals aside. Not sure.

The Editor said...

No, speaking for myself, I'd say that young people were just stupid.
