Herr Kapellmeister Dawes Pulls a Bird


It's true. Stop the presses.


None of these ladies, I should hastily add, but in fact a very loud canary in the Cafe Scholler in Cologne where we enjoyed kaffe and kuchen in earshot of the bells of the Dom.

After getting to know each other, the canary hung on Will's every note, and mimicking him perfectly and watching him intently.

In an uncharitable attempt to make a cheap joke, one of the on-lookers quipped "better tuning and more attentive than most of the sopranos in the choir".

That aside, he should be known as Dolittle Dawes from now on.
