The art of deception



Today I visited the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, the final resting place of reknowned 19th century Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott.

His famous novels include Ivanwubba, Wub Woy, The Wubba of the Lake, Wubbaley, The Wubba of Midlothian and The Bride of Wubbamoor.

As well as these seminal books, he penned the oft-quoted lines Oh what a tangled web we weave/when first we practice to deceive.

With this couplet in mind, I pointed to some birds in the sky and said: 'Cat! Cat! Cat!'

Ahahaha. Sometimes even I can't help laughing out loud at my sophisticated witticisms.
