I see Elephants

Nope, I haven't completely lost the plot. Today I went to see a spiritualist. Not deliberately as such, was passing shop and I love those places, incense sticks and what have you and this spiritualist was set up in there. 10 minutes of sitting behind daggy old curtains and a couple of candles clutching a glass ball to feed it my essence or whatever and the first thing she came up with was "I see elephants" We then proceeded through a list of animals until I got bored and mentioned my cat. " Ah that will be it then she said, I knew there was a link to an animal !. Now , I have a great imagination and my cat is quite large but elephant she is not.
Please anyone here into spiritualism please don't be offended, I don't necessarily disbelieve it but I guess like anything you get good ones and bad ones but at least it made me laugh as I have been a bit down today. Haven't broken NC and still determined but very sad. That's all for now, hope you are all doing well and maybe my story made you smile a bit. Must go, my elephant is miaowing for her tea.
Love from Sadly xx

Lol, thanks for sharing.
Do you know why it is so difficult to find elephants hiding in trees?
Because they are so good at it!
Thanks again Sadly and feel better

Cheers Jerry. Oh yeah, also that's why elephants paint their toe nails red, so they can hide in a cherry tree without being spotted.
