Thursday 26th  May (Hot Spring by the Hot Spring)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window over the Auvergne. The sun shone in the clear blue sky. Today Mr. Kite was feeling lazy so he put The Superscope on a tripod and sat on a chair eating and drinking whilst watching Red Kites, Black Kites, Honey Buzzards, Chaffinch and lots of other common birds. With a one eighty degree panorama and miles of viewing area Mr. Kite sat in the sun and watched and watched and watched. Later Mr. Kite heard a Cuckoo and His Lady demanded to see the bird. Mr. Kite scoured every tree in the Auvergne and still did not locate it.

Eventually Mr. Kite decided that to drown his sorrows he would have a tipple of Kronenbourg. Mr. Kite gave His Lady a few bottles and she then forgot about the damned Cuckoo and went to sleep. Cheers from Mr. Kite.
