PBVW and magpies...

So, the Peanut ButterPoo Brown VolksWagen is at the auto-electrician this morning having her ignition switch bypassed. Bypass surgery at thirty-five, my poor girl. She's so young. Hehehe

I've been pecked by magpies before. They scare me. :(

I quite like them, they're funny little birds with a really interesting family social structure, but when they're flying, they freak me out. When I was four, my Nanna and I were walking through a park in Burwood and I got swooped, and the damn bird cut my head open. I bled quite a bit, as you do with head wounds, and my poor Nan was quite upset, way more than I was. Ever had an icecream bucket with eyes painted on it for an anti-magpie-hat? LOL We made them in primary school to prevent swoops. And I used to have a big spotted umbrella in high school to fend them off when walking to the bus stop. But, I still think they're cute, except when airborne...

That's terrible! Do you remember it hurting like hell?
heheheheheh that's so cute! I never had an ice cream buckets on my head in school. I was jibbed!!! :(

I don't actually remember it hurting at all, but I do remember being in the bathroom with Nan, seeing myself in the mirror with wet hair and seeing blood-tinged water in the sink.
