Boredom is never a good thing chez Castle Greysquirel, particularly as far as Nigel and Darrell’s boredom is concerned ……
Take yesterday for example ….. when Nigel bet Darrell that he could eat a mahooooooosive jelly snake in under five minutes ……
…… a non-nasty Bush Tucker Trial if you will!
Well, naturally Darrell just couldn’t resist, and at the agreed time started his stopwatch, timing Nigel’s self appointed challenge.
At around the halfway mark Nigel seemed to be struggling …… but then got a second wind ……….. only to flag again in the closing seconds, the snakes nose appeared to be a nose too far for Nigel …….
…… especially as Darrell began counting down the final 10 seconds very, very loudly …… as if goading Nigel to defeat …..
……however, Nigel was indeed triumphant with just three seconds to go …..
……… although rendered totally incapable of leaping joyously in his victory!
I despair ……. I just despair ….. what are they like??????
"The snakes nose appeared to be a nose too far for Nigel." A bridge of the nose too far?
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge snake for such a small monkey.
My, oh, my........a snake eating challenge......fertile minds like Darrell and Nigel's are never at a loss for amusement!.....I never doubted he could do it and Bagpuss obviously offered support!.....it does look tasty......Dianne
