squirrel whisperer..??

ok... r'ber i told u about how the uncle where i was currently staying at was a psycho? ok. here's why i said so. and yes. he was very entertaining.

for starters, he would REFUSE to let me enter the kitchen. he insisted on making me b'fast and bringing it to the table... AND serving it. so far, so good. i'm not one to complain abt comforts. but last morning, over breakfast, i was looking out onto the garden and noticed two really fat *and i mean REALLY fat* pigeons. so i commented - more to myself - that the pigeons were so fat they couldn't fly. THAT set off uncle on a spiel. he said, and i quote :
"there are squirrels also that come. they used to cause lot of trouble before. throwing nuts around on the lawn. but then i trained them. i would sit out in the garden every morning till squirrels came. then when they tried to put the nuts down, i would tap stick in front of them. took seven months, but i trained them. now they drop nuts in the corner only."

i rest my case. also, i pack my bags and shift off tomorrow morning. to a house of promises. for starters, it's near dewdrop's. secondly, i will be better connected to the internet. and most importantly, i can move about without worrying whether i'm upsetting the "system" of the frikkin house!

i don't see why you're complaining.. you've got someone serving hand to foot.. and you ostracize him?????? shame on you!

Told ya: he's nuts and the proof is those squirrel children of his :D And I crack up every time I think of him sitting there tapping a stick :D

He was quite nice as such, if only he didn't overdo the hospitality, advice, meticulousness and talking bit.

And the new place has its own big story!!!! :D It'll be such fun when you're nearer!!!

he reminds me of this landlord we had in kolkata...bad enuf he adopted hubby as his son (not me)...he would enter any time to chk whetehr everything was in wiorking order and flush the unused toilet...to keep it funstioning!!!

so i can fully uinderstand you not being comfortable around him...in most cases they yearn for someone to speak to or something to look forward to...but still...

enjoy the new place and behave!!! :D
