Drinking with Birds

I have over the last week drunk a lot of wonderful things with birds, in various locations, doing various things.

Or even an evening filled with business and future developments and talks of the nows-and-the-maybes. Not even an evening spent lying around the house eating, drinking and reading the this-and-thats.
