A bit of blood in yer tea is as good a source of protein as an egg banjo...I was watching it trickle along the edge of the rock. It seemed unable to navigate a direction...a streak of blood moving with an almost concussed apathy. The pain came stealthily at first, low level, fast, then exploding out of nowhere. I was up & dancing like madman before I knew it, involuntarily shocked into a stupid performance of hopping, shouting & aimless marching whilst going through an equally involuntary repetoire of bizarre grimaces. Stumbling on more wet rocks just made the whole spectacle even more entertaining on reflection...Resisting making an unprovoked attack on the wet sea stones with my right foot & adding a broken toe to the injury list was the next hardest thing. The dog disappeared behind a boulder until I regained some composure...
Well, just before I smashed & gashed my head & lower back absorbing that nasty deckout from a full force move off a crumbly sandstone roof on Sunday; I managed to add a sitter to Wind Driven Rain at V9 & a superb line, Happy Testicles, V8, both on the free standing Kilta boulders 10 minutes walk from home & below the main bastion. There should be a couple of photies on ScottishCrimes soon. It was a rare day, a turquiose green sea churning in a blaze of glitter under black looming hills contrasted by gold sunlight.
The sort of day that has a scent you don't want to return from, walking into a winter light that adds a cleaner detail to throwing off time, with a softer smile..
I named the problem after the dog anyhoos. He's invariably ahead of me on every mountain path & his happy testicals are often swinging away in my view. I should really buy him some pants aye..
