Ever woken up and thought "Aww no ! I'm dead !" ????
Bang on 6 am this morning in Lewisham and my deep sleep is poleaxed by this really loud ambient string music echoing all around the house.It's not my phone, nor the tv, check it's not the girls putting "Now that's what I call woozy" on my cd. And it's just getting louder and louder.
So I stick my head out of the bathroom window and the whole of the garden is awash with this swelling dawn chorus. Go to the top of the house and it's even louder. Front garden, kitchen you name it it's like being in god's own headphones. Right, I'm dead. Peacefully in my sleep and my previously imoveable position on the likelyhood of an afterlife is going to get a good kicking. It's SO LOUD, and SO EVERYWHERE.
Fuck this then, I'm going to face death head on, in me dressing gown so out in the garden I go. And hovering, silently above my trees, nearly brushing them are two proper old school like a child would draw hot air balloons.
Playing bloody womb music !!!! In Hither Green, at six O'fucking clock !!!!
I swear one of them must've come down on Lee High road it was that low, I was gonna give chase but thought putting on the telly to check it wasn't 9000 years in the future and this is how we are now woken up every day for our shift at the rice pudding mine was more important.
Seriously though.........?????
