Prevented From Assisting

One of the baby blue tits fluttered into the conservatory yesterday. Was pinging around, hitting its tiny little head on the windows, falling to the floor then getting up and doing it all over again. Myself immediately trotted over to help but was forestalled by Her who scrambled Me (in a highly undignified fashion) into the living room and shut the door. All Myself could do was to sit on the window sill that overlooks the conservatory and watch proceedings.

In They both came, armed with pond nets which They waved in a random way in the air. (He got in one whacking good hit on the top of Her head.) But the baby blue tit escaped time after time and ended up the other side of the window from where Myself was perched. Heavens, it was absolutely unbelievably UGLY seen close up! She scooped it up and took it outside to where the rest of its family were waiting.

If only Myself had been allowed to assist it would have gone in half the time. Left a big fur ball on the sofa for One of Them to sit on.
