.... as I sat in the sun at the traffic lights on Corstorphine Road this morning about to turn left down Saughtonhall Drive.
I was suddenly enveloped by the complete 'sounds of the jungle creatures' soundtrack - strange bird calls, roars, hoots, monkey calls etc. I looked around - no cars with strange soundtracks on their stereos. No sign of the buildings around me melting before my eyes or caterpillars on toadstools smoking hookahs - so I hadn't ingested an of those pesky LSD flies whizzing through the air on the way there.
Then it dawned on me - half a mile away there's Edinburgh Zoo, and the wind was blowing towards me. Obviously the early morning chorus from our captive friends!
Made for a very unusual start to the day
