Monkey Business

These are not cute but aggressive beasties and there are numerous warnings about the dangers from the monkeys which clearly believe they are the proper residents of Shimla. We were sitting in our room, watching the Lord’s Test (aka dozing after lunch), with the door open. Terry was disturbed by a full grown male monkey. He shouted, the Monkey responded with a warning “Just Try It” glare, then calmly looked around the room, picked up my Glucosamine tablets and shot off. You’ll all know Terry well enough to understand that he wouldn’t accept “Monkey Theft” and was immediately on his feet chasing it armed with only a walking stick. A happy, albeit shaking, Terry returned minutes later with a torn packet of tablets and pride-restored look on his face. (Apparently the monkey had spate out two tablets and my Tel-Boy couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t just give them a quick rinse).
