Tim Dowling: spring has sprung

I’m on the sofa with a beer, watching a show where people always end up not buying property in Mediterranean resorts

Tim Dowling: spring has sprung

TL;DR

  • The narrator observes the first spring-like day and notes his wife placing their tortoise outside.
  • He later finds the tortoise has already disappeared.
  • While watching a property show, he is repeatedly interrupted by his dog.
  • The dog eventually drops a ball into his beer, ruining his drink.
  • As the evening ends, he remembers he forgot to bring the tortoise inside.
