Serendipity!

Ahhh…you know those hot lazy days where you’re just cruising along …
….…altitude 200 feet..
…drifting even….
…….speed 6 knots…
appreciating all the little things like – ripples lapping the sandy shore, summer playing in the long green grass or tall buildings standing as dark sentinels against wide blue skies…sounds that echo… and the breeze sighing, laden with the rich aroma of coconut oil and frangipani You’re going about your daily business with few expectations of anything extraordinary happening…..
….gear down, flaps 15 degrees, speed check….top of decent over the park…have spotted rather tasty looking luncheon option of fish and chips – much easier to catch than those slippery little sods in the ocean
……..cleared to land runway left..…
when suddenly a serendipitous moment occurs….
…Whoa! …what the??!!….SERIOUSLY??!!…formation flying buddy…last time I checked…hang on?...disregard!…disregard!… drop dead gorgeous member of the female variety has suddenly appeared at 12 o’clock!...definite hitherto undiscovered candidate for breeding season…have to attract her attention!!..must jiggle body parts in remotely attractive way….without looking hot and puffy and….and…for goodness sake, say something you idiot!…something mature and witty…
now!………
would be good!....giddy panic….Oh dear …suspect jaw flapping wordlessly…heart thudding erratically against confines of chest cavity…can’t supply adequate blood flow for….for…..consciousness ….AND …flight ..AND to fuel recent onslaught of indecent fantasies!....
……pull up!......pull up!...Oh crap! Engage collision avoidance strategy….climb to 300 feet….

Request status update ……and you have traffic at your 11 o’clock, 20 below…
…..What? On um….…Oh that’s Roger…. down there….he always flies south, hardly ever with the flock…. they ‘ve buggered off too I notice, but no, ignore Roger … he likes to ‘journey within himself’, some crap like that… weird….too many mung beans and tofu in that department…
…clear of conflict …traffic no factor ……levelled off…have new female partner on my radar…will shortly succumb to my irresistible charm and good looks!

..good luck with that!…tower out.
This piece has the sides painted, its varnished and ready to hang.
