My Perri thought it would be lovely to get me a gift...Nope! I was not overjoyed.
So the story goes like this (you must have guessed there would be a story)
So first off I got up late and was rushing to get dressed before my food delivery arrived (no one want to be greeted by me and my bed look). Trying to put my trousers on with my long johns still inside (what? my house is cold) anyway the legs are all twisted up and at one point I was completely stuck. Anyway untangled myself and it was on to the bra, now if I'm staying home I just use a pull on bra (because they are more comfortable) no idea how but this was also all of a swizzle and it took me THREE tries before I could get it on. Them my mum phones, I tell her I'm running late and need to finish dressing before the shopping arrives. She goes into a long drawn out story about a phone call from a guy from the water company. I tell her I love her and put the phone down!
Just got downstairs and the doorbell, it's my shopping (well that was close).
So all is right with the world, I joke with Amy we have done our jobs for the day and could return to bed... or have breakfast. She naturally chooses breakfast.
I get my breakfast and sit down to eat but I can hear Sophie and Amy mumblerling... I know that mumble so I call out to find out what's going on.
Mumble..mumble... well Sophie tells me Perri has a bird (my Valentines gift...did you remember I said this was a story about a gift from my cat?) So I'm still chill, OK well just let him have it but keep the back door shut. To late (you knew I was going to say that) the bird is in my STUDY... OMG you would be amazed how fast I can move. So I'm at the door looking into my study, I can see all the stuff knocked off the windowsill and what looks like a decapitated bird. Sigh of relief not to bad I can clear that up. NOOOOOOOO, I need my glasses THAT was not the bird the bird is standing next to some FR dolls on the side IT'S A GIANT MAGPIE!!!! Not harmed and very, very alive. I back up (I hate birds ever since I watched The Birds when I was young). This this has beady eyes and a massive beak big claws too! Just then in comes Perri's brat brother Jordan who is very happy to see a giant bird just sitting in my study awaiting disposal (or not). Jordan chases big bird, big bird flies up and heads for a load of very delicate baby stuff I have out for a photo shoot. THEN he heads for.... me! At the last minute with Jordan hanging of his leg big bird turns right and heads back out into the garden. Perri joins in and I shut the door big bird can fend for himself!
Some of the stuff I had on my side (this is after I had cleaned up)
And just to show big bird lived to fight another day
A cake, got to have a cake
See what I did here, a Valentine cake in black and white to match the Magpie... and my cats!
