Magic Wand

Magic Wand
A little over two years ago with friends in the North of the country we drank more than we should have. So we went down to the village to walk a little, go to the café, maybe drink more...
Passing by a group of trees I look towards the canopy and I see a kind of liana. I said I wanted it, that it was Gandalf's magic wand ...
Z told me that he would get it. He picked up a stick and a string, made a cane out of it and tied a stone to the end.
We went down to the village with everyone looking at the crazy us, Z even pretended to fish in a fountain...

Pesca na fonte

A few hours and drinks later we went back uphill and Z managed to send the rope with the stone to my desired wand, the rope twisted around it, he pulled...

Apanhei-te!

Perfeito!

...and the magic wand is now in my living room.
We laughed a lot that day, okay we had too much to drink, but it was a great moment for me, especially since one of my two friends is no longer alive.

Il y a un peu plus de deux ans avec des amis au Nord du pays nous avions bu plus que de raison. Nous sommes donc descendus au village pour marcher un peu, aller au café, peut-être boire encore un peu...
En passant près d'un groupe d'arbres je regarde vers la canopée et je vois une sorte de liane, je dis que je la veux, que c'est le bâton magique de Gandalf ...
Z me répond qu'il va y arriver. Il ramasse un bâton et une ficelle, en fait une canne et attache une pierre au bout.
Nous descendons au village avec tout le monde qui se retourne, Z fait même semblant de pêcher dans une fontaine...
Quelques heures et verres plus tard nous remontons et Z réussit à envoyer la corde avec la pierre vers mon bois, la corde s'entortille autour, il tire... et mon bâton magique est maintenant dans mon salon.
Nous avons beaucoup ri ce jour là, d'accord nous avions trop bu, mais c'est resté pour moi un grand moment, d'autant plus que l'un de mes deux amis n'est plus.

j' aime beaucoup ton histoire , car c 'est une histoire que certainement beaucoup d' entre nous ont vécu ! l' alcool est un bon désinhibiteur , et dans ces cas là , comme l' on dit en France : " passées les bornes , il n' y a plus de limites" . Ce n' est que plus tard que l' on s' aperçoit du ridicule , mais c 'est trop tard :-)

La plupart des beuveries ne laissent que souvenir, de celle-ci en est resté le bâton...

A day to remember with laughter. I am spellbound by your tale of that tipsy day, and delighted that you managed to get Gandalf's wand.

The magic wand is always going to remind you of that day full of laughter! And maybe one day you'll find a well or a pot of old coins with its help;-)
