I was coming out of the massage place having been pummelled by number 28 and was amused to see a crayfish ambling along the street. It tried to crawl slowly across the quiet street but got half way and then walked backwards towards the kerb again. I didn’t know they could go backwards.
Then it decided to have an adventure by walking towards the busy Shigu lu. I watched it for a while remembering the time when I got very frigthened by a herd of them running loose a few years ago.
A man stopped to see what I was looking at and started to tease it with a piece of plastic. I laughed as the creature hung onto the plastic with its claws.
It’s crayfish season and I don’t suppose he’ll be around for much longer. I am just glad he got the opportunity to have a bit of adventure before he was plunged into boiling water.
