My fake definition for the word “waddy” was the winning entry on Word Imperfect the other day. Yay!

1. The chickens always chatter when I go down to see them. I imagine them like excited children, desperate for attention and to tell me about their day.

2. We stand on the undulating green lawn in the sun. It’s the first time we’ve been to that park when it’s just a park and not a carnival ground, and it’s strange to see it so quiet and empty. I mentally draw in the stages and the food tents, and think about walking up the hill to buy some sugar cane.

3. There is a painting for sale on eBay which looks exactly like Lily – not in appearance but in expression. I point it out to John and we look at Lily to compare – she’s sat in the exact same position, pulling the exact same expression. We laugh.
