“A pile of bricks,
A dead cow.”
A raised eyebrow.
A trio of scouse ladies stop and chat; they’ve been to Blackpool for the week, using their bus passes. They ask what I’m doing and I tell them. One of them says something that sounds like “You want to be an artist.” I ask her to say it again because I’m not sure I heard her correctly, she ums and arghs, then says you “You want to be an artist.” I say I am an artist.
Of the variety of questions I’m first asked I try and do a Roy Walker ‘Say what you see’ and pass the buck back and most of the time people say tunnel. On a couple of occassions people have said bridge and that’s stumped me. I understand tent, wigwam, construction site etc. but bridge….
Remembering the lady who said it looks like a bee, or was it a wasp, colony collapse.
