Personal Note

So now that I've had my Sizzler cheese toast which feels like some sort of rite of passage, I can tick that off my list. Another rite of passage that is a bit more typically Australian was when I was recently swooped by a magpie. Seriously, it was my first time and I was born and bred here!

I was taking Teddy for a walk one afternoon in mid November and I felt something suddenly hit me on the side of my head. I thought a small tree branch had fallen down. I looked up and it was a distinctive looking black and white magpie up in the tree.

I got home and told Mr NQN, "There was this really unco magpie that flew into me, maybe it forgot how to fly," I said.

"You sure you didn't get swooped by a magpie?" he said. I was surprised and then after that I saw all the signs, literally the warning signs posted up on fences warning of swooping magpie season! Sometimes they peck at you, something then land on your head, sometimes they just bang into you on the side of your head!

So tell me Dear Reader, have you ever been swooped by a magpie? Have you ever eaten the Sizzler cheese toast?
