Join the . ibid ibid

Four lovely palms in a row and all dead. The cause?

They attract ibises (ibi?) which, trust me, are bloody awful birds to have nesting near your house. They nest in groups of ten to twenty. They are loud and they shit like crazy. The smell is awful.

Across the road from these trees are some of the biggest, most ostentatious, Italianate mansions that you will ever see.
