Puffins and a Special Agent

by admin - 17:23 on 05 March 2010

Matchgirl has had second thoughts about her new acquisition's gender – she now believes that her Mini Cooper is male.

She's unable to give reasons, beyond the fact that a girl knows these things.

The driver was quite tickled by the suggestion that he be named Tommy, but as an avid fan in her youth of Twin Peaks she's been unable to resist christening her (now not-quite-so) shiny vehicle in honour of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, heartthrob leading man of the bizarre cult series.

Henceforth, her Mini will be known as Agent Cooper. Whether he'll demand cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee remains to be seen.

My own activity today has centred around puffins. Several of the snaps I took on Shetland last year have been turned into a jaunty video, complete with totally appropriate music. Check it out below.
