Magpie season already???
In a flap today i got about 3/4 km down the road and realised I didnt have my purse... so a quick phone call home and barked to son 'run down the hill as fast as you can'... just as i got to the corner 3 streets away a HUGE magpie came a swooping... so pedalling as fast i can going uphill it continues to swoop another 3 times... me a wobbling all over the place.
I retrieved my purse and son went back up the hill and i watched the bloody bastard magpie disappear... off i go again, pedalling even faster downhill and the bastard attacked again this time full on hitting me in the head and appearing from knowhere! And then another final time, full on hitting me.
Do i need to find a new route to ride my bike in daylight??? I fear this is going to get worse and a perfect route for magpie attacks\!

Everyone I work with insist that you have to wear an icecream tub on your head with eyes painted on the back.
