A false enemy in the mirror.
Now what on earth is this? A stranger in my territory and without my permission.
I must confess that I don't like mirrors very much and I think that this Olive Thrush share my views. Talking about mirror views some song lyrics go like this, I look in the mirror in total surprise, at the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.
The writer should have said at the lines in my face, as my own looks like an old road map.
But I digress.
I thought that he would land on the truck's roof, but no he spotted something else.
Say mate, I am going to give you a friendly warning peck and when I come back, if you know what's good for you, then you better be gone.
Bam! One could hear the click of his peck on the glass.
Then he popped up on the mirror and I thought that after a minute he would come back down, but he saw someone watching and he took off.
He was right, as someone else was watching him with a keen interest.
To worry about the small things in life filled with resentment certainly stirs so many unnecessary emotions. I often wonder how many situations that I used to worry about were non existent. Exactly like the image of that bird in the mirror.
Yes, we have to take care of the small things, but then again there are always much bigger dangers that we have to flee from, by taking protective care. Such for instance as this new Covid plague.
Many deny it's existence and some even pump themselves with all kinds of vitamins and other stuff. Useless illusions is another song title by one of my favorite South African bands, called *The Flames *
And That's All Friends!

#Sir Sterling Silver what good photos you took of the visitor and he turned to thank you for being there to protect him from the cat that does not look very happy for not being able to capture the visitor lol. Good photos and good story friend.
Thank you Lady Isabel and you certainly put a different spin on it. I didn't even know that the cat was there until I looked around the corner.
So no, I am no hero 😉
Have some !PIZZA

Apology: The heading of the post has a mistake. It should read, A false enemy in the mirror. Not "An"
Good captured photos. Amazing bird and a cute cat 🤗
The cat's eyes are saying "look away just one more second and you'll be my lunch" 😁
I often feel about the same when I look into a mirror, but I don't attack the enemy, I apologize and step back 🤣
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Good evening Hannes,
Hahaha, I forget that you know cats and their habits my friend.
So you apologise when you see yourself in the mirror?
I slink past it as quick as I can 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
Good evening Zac,
yes, I apologise, because I do not want problems with that weird person in the mirror ... and then I try to get away as fast as I can 🤣
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Hahaha, I think that I read a book once titled, Strangers in the mirror Hannes.
Thankfully I don't run away, as I only slink away 🤣
Not to upset the stranger, as he might run after me right into my dreams and then I won't sleep for a week 🤣🤣🤣
Cheers and thanks.
🤣🤣🤣👍

I like your new "handle" #Sir Sterling Silver. I think it's a perfect fit. Although "Bishop" is also cool.
Cute story my friend, I find myself drifting into that realm also. Just making those creatures talk is a fun exercise.
Have a blessed day my friend.
Thank you kindly and it was Lady Lizzy that added the #Sir
Yes, let's give them a voice and I also like your stories, as they are great.
Sorry for the late reply and I am rushing again before the next blackout.
Blessings and !LUV
A humorous, well-illustrated, and well-argued story. I loved it!
Glad to see it back on the road. My previous account was stolen, my friend, if you like you can follow me again.
Best regards!
