Universe, I have turned into a scaredy cat. I nearly turned back after the first 5 minutes, because I saw a Wagtail on the electricity lines. Wagtails are also black and white, but they aren't evil. I stopped for a sec, my heart racing, crossed the road (even though it doesnt matter) and found a big stick.
Big stick = friend.
But it's hard to carry when you are also holding your phone and a water bottle!
After the reassurance of another walker that there were no Magpies ahead, I discarded the stick... but then picked up another one down the road.. in case the walker didn't go through that way! But it was just fear... nothing happened. Once I made it to the end, I'm pretty sure there would have been a noticeable bounce in my step as I knew there was nothing out there to get me on the way home.
I feel ridiculous though. I can't afford to join the gym again just to avoid magpies! I need to invent a stick. Hahahaha. A stick that easily becomes small enough to fit in your pocket - like a radio antenna lol. Only in Australia.
