What has society come to...

...when garden funiture gets drunk?



I come home today to find this thing with all four legs in the air and showing no intention what so ever to get up again. From what I can see it tripped over the wall, off the patio and fell at least three feet into the shrubs below.

The shrubs weren't happy.

Getting this thing upright again took quite some doing, especially with that damnable cover which acts so well as a sail, no less than three times I was almost airborne.

Does this mark the start of something disturbing? Will the chairs compete with teenagers at the fridge? Will we begin to find tables dressed in newspaper in dingy corners in city centers? Will patio heaters bother people at summer Alcoholic Anonymous meetings? How long is it until a hammock swings over to ask for some change?

For now the hammock is now sitting in the garden, upright, taking some time to think about what it's done. Sitting in direct sunlight with a hangover MUAHAHAHAHA.
