Blog #8: A funny thing happened...

You know, I just can't seem to have a lunch break at work without having something weird happen out of the blue. Okay, depends on your idea of weird I suppose. But I've had a near-death experience, an accidental crime scene discovery, I've been accused of being a demonic spirit, all sorts. "Welcome to Gloucester", I always think to myself.

Long story short I've had experiences between hilarious, disturbing, and outright weird. Today was hilarious. I was heading back to the office when I hear a guy on a microphone yelling about jesus and how he's the best thing since sliced bread and all that jazz. Like I said, the dude had a microphone. You could hear him probably hear him a good few hundred metres away. In spite of this, he got little to no attention. However, and this is where it got funny, there were a group of ducks waddling about in the street. This is odd since the nearest water is pretty far, in the docks. Loads of people were stopping to watch the ducks, feed them, I'm pretty sure I saw one lass take a selfie with one.... Basically three ducks waddling around the street got more attention than a dude yelling into a microphone. And this made my day.

I might do this a little more from time to time, sprinkle in a bit of my regular life into my blogs. I'm not just a cartoonist and writer, after all. I'm also a sci-fi geek, a gamer and a volunteer if I get the time, as well as an apprentice with the local council. Anyway, as ever I'll update you guys as and when.

Over and out,

Aidan
