Ironically, though the Café Cosy has a discriminating clientele, the café itself does not discriminate. Big or small; black or white, brown or grey; avian, mammalian or reptilian; we are happy to serve them all. It was, then, with a certain pleasure that we welcomed a new patron to the restaurant.
He approached his table hesitantly; perhaps he has been more accustomed to the rougher establishments of the waterfront. Not to worry, though; we at the Café Cosy cater to all tastes and backgrounds. Our new customer ate hurriedly at first, but returned for a further meal, evidently as glad to have come as we were to have him. He favoured the salmon paté.
There were, we regretted to note, certain members of the staff who rather rudely stared at the first-time patron. The latter did not let the impoliteness put him off, fortunately. Even so, we will have a word with our employee. We’ll take into account the fact that he’s new.
HaHa! It looks as though Neville isn't to happy
ReplyDeleteabout the idea..Look at that face..Goodness! If
looks could kill..Bless him..!x ;).
That's some serious gull fur sure!
ReplyDeleteLast photo: “YOU ARE FEEDING THE ENEMY.”
ReplyDeleteFrom Neville's expression in the last picture, I'd be very careful if I were you, John!! :-)
ReplyDeleteNeville is not amused!
ReplyDeleteHummm...Neville has an issue with the new patron. Perhaps a few bracing words will stiffen his upper lip until he is able to serve and move on to the next patron without staring or otherwise making the diner uncomfortable. Buck up Neville old chap.
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo. Undine's comment seems appropriate. Perhaps Neville would like to invite the newcomer in to become...better acquainted, shall we say. :-D
ReplyDeleteThose gulls are big, strong birds. I think if he came inside, Neville would be serving him dinner, after all...
DeleteUm...there is that distinct possibility.
Deletethe last photo is a crack up
ReplyDeleteSalmon pate with out bones or fishing. One lucky gull. I am sure
ReplyDeletehe did provide some entertainment for you and Neville. Lucky to be
there at the perfect time to get the picture of both feather and fur.
LOL, Neville's facial expression says it all. "you're feeding that bird our food?"
ReplyDeleteGood of you to share!
Nevsky: "Dad! Um...DAD!!! What the...?!?"
ReplyDeleteWe have been trying to attract a few of the feathered to our new Cat Yard (when the crew are inside) for window watching but... seems the area has been noted as a "No Landing Zone"
