Covered in glory?

On my way home this morning from a spot of shopping with Eden we had got to the car park of the homeware store and garden centre and there we were, walking along side by side when I felt something wet hit my nose and heard it 'splat' across the ground.
A seagull had once again scored a direct hit and I was the one that got it yet again. Eden was missed completely but not me. I had on a brand new white T shirt which wasn't so white any more and I stank to high heaven. Eden of course was laughing fit to burst, although she was trying hard not to and straight away she was texting her Mum and all her friends!
It's not the first time this has happened when I have been with her and each time , I'm the one that gets it and she escapes, whether it be stinking pigeon, seagull or whatever. She tells me it's 'lucky' but I have not had any good luck when this has happened, despite buying a lottery ticket. I think it's unlucky (especially for me), although I must admit that I'm really glad that elephants don't fly!!
In the past these wretched birds have scored a direct hit on my head, all over a black business suit when I was on my way back to work after lunch and going to a very important meeting and another time I had to got into work with the mess dripping from my ear which made it look as if I was wearing some new fahioned 'dangly' earring.
Why Eden never gets hit is beyond me and if I had my way, I would have every seagull and pigeon shot. We aren't even near the sea, we're about thirty miles or more away but we have more seagulls than they do at the most popular resorts!

  1. Oh dear Grandma. My mother "got annointed" by a pigeon when she lived in Las Vegas. She had just come out of the hairdresser's when it happened. Like Eden, her girlfriend had a good laugh too, but did help her by cleaning it out of her hair.
    Sorry to hear about your unfortunate events.
