Default A rather odd thing..

So, as some of you may be aware...Mrs Stingo works on Sundays (the brazen hussy). Because of this, before she departs the home, we indulge in a rather substantial 'brunch' consisting of the usual fried/grilled etc breakfast items.

This Sunday was no different to many others. I looked lovingly into her eyes whilst masticating on some free fange bacon whilst egg yoke left a yellow trail down my chin. The duchy sausages were still giving off some steam as well as leaving a small pool of grease on my plate. We were discussing my various tasks that I was to accomplish prior to her return from work (relocating a central heating radiator, install 4 double sockets, feed the kids, upgrade an old double socket, make good the floor boards, clean & hoover etc etc) when suddenly I noticed that something had caught Mrs Stingo's attention - her gaze had shifted focus to a point somewhere over my shoulder (she was now looking through the window behind me). Then, whilst in mid stream of checking that my work list was consistent with hers, she blurted out...


"Good morning Mr Magpie, how are you?",


and then carried on with the conversation as though nothing had happened.


Does anyone else here have a habit/tradition of greeting wild animals/birds etc?

I have a blackbird called Winston. He comes to see me if I'm in the garden.

I use the same greeting to a magpie but only if there`s one of them.... is bad luck to only see one so in that event you have to say "Morning Mr Magpie, how are you" and this action thus negates any bad luck that might be coming your way from seeing the aforementioned solitary magpie
