Anyone else relaxing on this partially sunny, balmy summer’s day out in their back gardens?
I was until, with the biblically appropriate appellations, Isaac and Jacob, my neighbour’s grandchildren, were loosed a little season from the bottomless pit to torment me for a while.
Not even the act of licking my sweat encrusted forearm, knocking back a slug of Jose Cuervo’s finest and guzzling the piquant juice of a freshly cut lime can drown out the battle cries of Beelzebub’s little ginger goblins.
Screaming, shouting, punching, fighting, destruction, carnage. All the thoughts that sprung to mind when I realised the tranquillity of a relaxing Sunday afternoon outside amongst the foliage and Lepidoptera with the Android for company, were to be dashed.
And there was me thinking I won’t get the trusty Qualcast out for a spin in order to persist the mutual harmony of my fellow back garden compadres.
Right, there’s no other choice now: it’s time to don that hockey mask, the baseball gloves and fire up the McCullock chainsaw and cast those screaming banshees back from whence they came.
