Pijie's Filth & Fury

[dotinthesky]

Who needs a gym workout when they've got an apartment recently vacated by two male Australians to clean? Kevin & I began our move to the new flat today -- packed suitcases dragged across London, corner shop purchases (cleaning products and 2-litre Coca-cola bottle to keep us going), and the stereo playing old tapes in the living room.

To our surprise, we found a squatter living in our flat. Her name is Pijie and she refuses to leave our shit-smeared balcony or her little egg. We've decided to allow her to stay until her egg hatches, then lift the net around the balcony, pour bleach all over the caca and turn it into a prime location for neon-lights watching.

I spent the afternoon scrubbing the kitchen. The fridge looks and smells lovely but refuses to come back to the world of the living. I'm scared. Kevin wiped the living room clean and the shelves already hold some of our books. When the place is finally clean, and all our stuff is in place, I think we'll be very happy there.

People are sexy here too in the summer. The top sexy city in the summer however is Montreal, hands down.

We are living in Mile End, just two stops past Liverpool Street. And yes, Pijie is a pigeon. :-)

I don't like pigeons at all! But I just feel so bad being mean to this one when all she's trying to do is hatch an egg. Once she's done her mommy business, she'll have to go find a new home with her bratty kid.

here here!
pigeons suck. i cannot comprehend why people feed them. they are so ugly.
sparrows, on the other hand, i love. oh, and ducks!

I love toucans, parrots and hummingbirds. Brasil has tons of marvelous birds that never annoy you with their desperate pleas for bread crumbs.
