One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told.
That is an a nursery rhyme I learnt as a kid about Magpies. How ever this morning, after a cries of sweeeetie, I don’t know what a dead half eaten one brings. That what we found in the garden this morning. (K: not in the garden, that would have been, well, still icky but this one was right outside the back door! A head and a bunch of feathers! At least the rest of it was behind the bits of wood that Homebase calls a shed. More on that later probably.) Just a bunch of feathers and some wing was all that was visible at first, but peering behind the bits of shed (the shed is a whole another story which Kathleen may or may not post), was the rest. Which has now been laid to rest in the bin.

Eight for a kiss
Nine for a wish
Ten for a bird you must not miss!
Guess you didn’t miss this one. 🙁
