You Hear That…

'You can hear that, can't you? Splendid Fairy-wren. Sounds like he is moving away from us."

"You're right. It is. But it sounds like there is more than him. Could be 3 or 4 by the sounds of it. Wonder if he will hang around until we get out of here?"

"Well, if it means you increase this glacial pace that you are setting, we might. But if the Polar Bears end up here, then now he won't. The good news though, is that if the Polar Bears do turn up, we won't need to worry!"

"Humour! I understand that. Don't know if I agree, but I do understand. We'll ge there. It is a little difficult when you have sand and bites in place you wish you didn't though. But, hey, we're all men here aren't we?!"

"Sure. Whatever you say boss. Just keep that in mind when those walkers get close enough to see the "man" pointing his camera at the "pretty blue bird" on the branch. How manly are you going to feel then!?"

"All good to be honest. The bird maketh the man or thereabouts. We'll see. I just wish the itching would stop. You could have told me they were ants that we laid down in. But no! Kept it to yourself. Oh well…"

"He's there. Watching you. He's on the path. Hurry up, man. You're slower than a wet week."

"Okey dokey. Got it. No, I don't. He's moved again. Up to the branch, I hope. He is! Light is interesting. Should look good when it's processed."

"You do really go on, don't you. Time to go, I think. They have moved on now. Let's get home. Breakfast might be a good idea. We've been up for 5 hours already. Let's go."

And, so ended the most amicable trip "they've" had in awhile. Quite strange really, but you take the wins when you get them, with those two!
