Murderous March
Must tell you of this weird piece of real life that happened to me yesterday, seing how we were discussing surrealism earlier.
After my visit to the physio, I was walking along Salamanca Place, the trendy waterfront area here full of bars, galleries, coffee shops etc. (and which is the Spanish connection of the title).
Standing in the middle of all this was a woman with one of those trainee seeing eye dogs. You know the thing, the labrador puppies with "L" plates on their backs being made accustom to human society. So anyway, they were just standing there and people were walking up to them to admire the dog which was just sitting there soaking it all up and looking pretty happy with everything, when quite suddenly...
...a man came along the footpath walking a llama.
This is true.
The funny thing was that the poor lab puppy went berzerk with fright at the sight of this strange animal and many weeks of training went instantly out the window!
I told you the world is surreal.
