April Fool's Day. I hope I don't fall for something silly today. The TV cable passes by the front bedroom window and while it is clipped up to the eve a portion of it hangs down to form a bit of a loop like a skipping rope. It has been raining all morning and I've noticed that a magpie uses this loop as a perch to stay in out of the rain. On and off this morning he has been there for about three hours and he spends a lot of the time talking to himself. He's muttering away there all morning looking in the window. There's really no privacy left any more!!!!There's a little story here for you The Magpie and the Bell
