If you can sing, sing out loud

Despite the fact that going for walks doesn't much thrill me (well, I don't mind it if I'm not alone), I went out for a little walk with my grandmother this evening. Just around the block and such.

it's a lovely night here; it feels far more like April than January. The sky is clear and the moon hangs fat and lovely.

While we were walking we were singing songs…

o/~ By the light, of the silvery moon o/~

and

o/~ Let me call you sweetheart o/~

I started to sing a little louder, and my grandmother tried to hush me up, "People might think we're drunk! I told her we should let them think it. After all, far nicer to see drunk people walking down the street singing, than fighting and screaming.

So, I went on singing, with my grandmother grinning beside me.
