view, choosey, flexible

  London window.

Pigeons without fail nibble every leaf  of  plants of the cabbage family - that includes  rocket, radishes and turnips, that grow in the vegetable garden. To say nothing of young pea shoots. Much as their intrusion worries me, I can't help admiring their ability to select from the wide choice the garden offers them. They can't be as silly as they look.

In the window of Bracket's the chartered surveyor in the High Street they are advertising for a part time audio secretary. "Flexibility and a sense of humour required," the notice says. If you have one, you need the other, I think to myself.
