Thursday 31st May (More Fine Weather and a Black Cow)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a clear blue sky. Today Mr. Kite had a plan and that was to cycle up the mountain and watch birds for two hours.

So in the morning Mr. Kite put the saddlebags on his new Dawes Horizon and set out towards La Quesaera. With plenty of water on board Mr. Kite kept The Machine going up the mountain having a drink every two kilometres. Eventually Mr. Kite reached the highest point on the road and settled down for two hours watching the birds.

To cut a long story short the birds were resting and out of sight. Woodlarks, rock buntings, wood pigeons and a coal tit were spotted.

Now Mr. Kite was sitting there enjoying the warmth and the view when a large black cow came by and stood by Mr. Kite. Swishing the flies away with it's long tail this cow, with long sharp horns, seemed to like The Machine. If Mr. Kite turned his head the big black cow headed for The Machine. If The Machine  had been old and battered Mr. Kite would have allowed the cow a chance to lick it or push it. But it was new and Mr. Kite did not want it damaged by a big black Spanish cow.

Half an hour later the big black cow walked slowly down the road leaving a nice green trail. At three in the afternoon Mr. Kite free wheeled down the mountain back to The Joint where he had a tipple of Mahou Classica. Cheers.
