Reward offered! Has anyone seen this gull?
Well, this could have been the shortest blip in history if I'd left my write up as an indignant 'HUMPH!'
Let's say that today's blip was a gift from above, literally. I wandered up the road in pleasant sunshine after watching Jeremy Vile (don't tell anyone!) and we walked up over the bridge into TK Maxx for tea and cake. No lemon meringue today so I plumped for apple pie while mom had a pineapple thing.
I hadn't bought any bread for the birdies yet intending to get some on a dull day when there was nothing else to catch my eye. Mistake number one!
Coming back over the bridge, I paused to take a few pictures of a very nice looking gull who was giving me the eye. Mistake number two!
Mom started talking to him! Mistake number three!
Go large....
Anyway, we continued on over the bridge and into Marks and Spencers where I was naughty and bought another top. My wardrobe here is definitely more full than my wardrobe in Brum!
It was when we were heading from M&S towards Debenhams that I heard gull laughter from above and then I felt and heard a rather mushy, squelchy, gigantic 'SPLAT!!' hit the back of my left shoulder! For the second time in two days, time stood still. Actually, I don't think it did stand still today. Despite the fact that the lumpy world had dropped out of a gull's arse all over my left shoulder and hair, I got a few sympathetic smirks as people hurried by at a rate of knots.
Honestly, it was really lumpy and I swear it smelt of curry sauce! What had that bird been eating?! Urrrrrrghh! Mom wasn't very sympathetic saying 'I had my hair done yesterday! Thank goodness it wasn't me!'
'Yeah great!' I replied. The ten minute walk home seemed more like ten hours today and I went for my second shower of the day as soon as I got in. Mom yelled through the door, 'Make sure you wash the worst of that shit out before you put that top in the washing machine! It's acidic and will dissolve everything!'
All I could imagine was a horror movie scene with my whole head starting to disappear as the acid from my hair took hold of the rest of me.....
Anyway, I am still all here, for now! Maybe I am saved or will I be sat in the pub later with an amazing shrinking head while people cheer and take pictures to send to the Ayrshire Post?
Track? I have never used this band on Blipfoto before but I dedicate this to whichever gull it was that officially welcomed me to Ayr this trip - Wanted: Dead or Alive!
