These is a particularly common shade of grubby pink that I think of as <i>Die böse Farbe</i>.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-41418989659005632062019-01-15T01:23:35.274+00:002019-01-15T01:23:35.274+00:00I didn't pay her.

But on the other hand to ask for money to take pictures of the pigeons is at best morally suspicious.<br /><br />When I was little one of the things I always looked forward to when we visited a neighbouring town was purchasing days-old chickens painted very different colours from the market. They kept dying on me, though, all except one painted pink which grew up to be a freakishly large if crazily aggressive white rooster. To retrieve the eggs daily, my father had to enter the coop armed with a large stick and still the bird would lauch itself at him like a madman, er, madbird. I chalk that up to the chicken's childhood trauma at being pink.Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-11942936189146396652019-01-14T21:08:40.513+00:002019-01-14T21:08:40.513+00:00Pigeon woman shouldn't charge you for the free...Pigeon woman shouldn't charge you for the free advertising.
