While the scooter was having its existential crisis, the park’s lake decided to relocate. I’m not being dramatic. A flock of exactly seventy-three ducks—I counted—waddled en masse across the grass and blocked the exit ramp onto Stroud Green Road. The traffic backed up to Archway. People were honking.

The ducks formed a kind of webbed-foot barricade. A woman from the council arrived with a clipboard and tried to negotiate. She spoke to them. In English. The lead duck, whom I’ve named Sir Reginald, just tilted his head and judged her silently. Eventually, a small child threw a croissant into the bushes, and the whole flock followed it like a feathered mosh pit. Crisis averted.

The Subplot: A Very Confusing Cricket Match

Meanwhile, on the main field, the Finsbury Park Cricket Club was playing a match against a team from, I think, Narnia? Listen, I don’t know the rules of cricket. No one does.

Then a stray dog—a massive, fluffy thing that looked like a mop with teeth—ran onto the pitch and stole the stumps. The dog didn’t even want them. It just ran three laps, dropped the stumps on the umpire’s head, and sat down. The players applauded. The dog looked embarrassed. It’s still on the loose as of this writing. If you see a very smug sheepdog holding a wooden peg, that’s the culprit.
