A few weeks ago I shared with you that Francine my resident writing cottage fairy had a little too much to drink after her nightly flight out into the world to fulfill her duties. I found her feet up in my water fountain one morning, glass of almost empty red wine beside her.
Well yesterday when I came out to my writing cottage, there she was, lying on the floor. But, um, not in one piece. If you are squeamish you may want to read over this next part… but for those of you who can bear it, well, I found her decapitated, as well as, her right wing de-winged. Yes, I know de-winged isn’t a word, but I was at a loss of how to best describe this. 🙂
Seems she’s been hitting that red wine again. So into emergency Elmer’s Glue surgery she went. First to repair that little head of hers. I decided to spare you the sight of that as it was not pretty. But today her head sits pretty upon her shoulders again. Though for the time being she must lay face down after having just completed the 2nd phase of her glue surgery to repair her tiny wing.
She should be good to go to celebrate the 4th of July tomorrow. But I do hope she’s learned her lesson that wine and flying just do not mix. Dare I say to stay tuned?
