Staycation 2020!

Summer is over, all dreams of sitting on a beach are over and the pool is emptied and packed away till next year! Wow 2020, you really are packing the punches. 

My staycation page 2020 has my resident magpies gossiping about having to share their garden with me, they’re not happy magpies. ''Mr & Mrs Corvid (any similarities with COVID are purely coincidental!) who are often to be found taking a leisurely stroll through their grounds start to vocalise their discontent. 

Ultimately, they've usually had the garden to themselves for a couple of weeks but their privacy has been disrupted by me hanging around and hopping in and out of the pool.

Mrs Corvid starts getting bitchy and starts to tattle about my cellulite, going on to mention that my bikini (which they hope I don’t wear in public!) is hardly an ''itsy-bitsy'' and you could house a family of 7 magpies in it. The fact that after months of lockdown I decide to squish myself into my bikini doesn’t go down well, neither does the lounging in the pool. 

After an hour of chattering (we can hear them up in the tree), Mr Corvid decides on a plan of action! Pooping in the pool and yes, I have had to clean bird droppings from the ring, so I guess they did put their plan into action. 

That being as it may, it didn’t work and Mr and Mrs Corvid and the little Corvids had their summer hols ruined by me.

 We all are victims of the Staycation 2020, let’s hope that summer 2021 brings privacy to the Corvids and a wee bit of travel (from the backdoor to the garden just isn’t enough!) for me.
