flew away

I parked the car in the middle of town tonight.

I thought there was a funny smell when I parked, never the less I left my car in the smelly area.

I left it for about an hour whilst my youngest had a hair cut in the vintage barbers if anyone knows it.

I came back having called for the obligatory milk shake you get from the place opposite the barbers that costs nearly another fiver, but keeps a teenage boy with a smile on his face so worth a tenner really, anyway, my car, I came back to it looking like this and the smell explained.

In the trees and hedges you could hear the culprits, obviously pleased with themselves. I'm guessing by the number of videos lately of birds flying in their thousands over carlisle and gretna that this too was them.

When my eldest was toddling we used to have lots of birds in our village. I heard you could stop them settling by banging tins and things or clapping loudly so whenever we went outside and the birds were there we would say to he "clap hands for the birds".

They always flew away.
