The Laughing Otter

Residents of the Meridian apartments initially drafted a complaint about the 7am vocal warm-ups from the fourth floor. Then someone actually listened. The singer — a retired music teacher named Rosa — does scales, then one aria, then takes a small bow to an audience of pigeons and people holding mugs. The complaint letter was quietly abandoned. Now neighbours time their coffee to it. "Why would I use an alarm clock," one resident asked, "when I have Pavarotti's auntie?"
