Magpie They always do it to me! Damn magpies! I am a great believer in the old rhyme 1 for sorrow and 2 for joy. I know, I know - its foolishness. However i can't help that little sinking feeling in my stomach every time I see that 1 magpie. All my #life I have had a slight obsession with this thought because whenever I see just one magpie something always goes wrong. So now I find myself talking to the magpies, almost bargaining with them. Well I have seen one this morning let's hope the sorrow is not too big today.
