An Unexpected Entanglement

This delicious satchel of snacks provided with such forethought by my brilliant companion has sustained us during a most unforeseen and uncomfortable stopover. To put it simply and with a bit of embarrassment, I had upgraded my flight apparatus for this trip and have experienced a nasty glitch that has left me grounded (so to speak) on a tree in a local forest for a fortnight. It has been especially comforting to have his meals of sympathy and advice during the long hours spent disentangling and restraightening feathers (birdie softwear). Today my avian parts are fully restored to operation and the satchel contains only a few hopeful ants. So now upward and onward.
