JillyBeanz Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 On Sunday night I was making my way to bed and I went to close the curtains - across the road, in the gutter I could see a poor blackbird flailing and flapping about. There were only two reasons it was injured - hit by a car or hurt by a cat. There are lots of babies around at the minute, but I could see from the size of this bird that it was either the mother or father. Anyway, I'm not sure what I was going to do with this bird, but I ran downstairs and went outside and crossed the road to the other side where the poor thing was....... to discover it was a BLACK POTATO CHIP PACKET!!!! Of course it was flailing about - it was slightly windy and was rocking to and fro! So, let it go down in history - I tried to rescue a "Sensations" crisp packet!!!!
pearllyn Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hahahahahaaaaaa Jill - v. funny!!! Imagine you risking life and limb to rescue a crisp packet!!! Priceless. Thanks for owning up and giving us a giggle!!! x
pearllyn Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 :rolleyes: Was there any WORMS around?:confused: Lol - good point! Next thing we'll be hearing how Jill has rescued a shoelace out of a puddle!!!!! LOL!!
Luvparrots Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Only you Jill would do something so foolish and then post about it!!!!! What a sight!!!!! Thanks for making my day Jill!!!!
Ozzysmom Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 OMG too funny wish I was there to see that I would have died laughing
JillyBeanz Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Oh, go on, laugh at my expense!!! And as for the worms........I have to wrestle one from the mouth of the crisp packet - I don't care if he was taking it to feed his potatolets - that poor worm!!! The funny thing was, I can just picture how "cool" I tried to make myself look when I was picking up the crisp packet - because obviously at 10pm at night I often go out litter collecting!!! Let's hope the neighbours weren't looking!!!
Malikah Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Jill you are sweet, funny, and brave! Thanks for sharing.
katana600 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Jill, you just make my day! And not to worry what the neighbors might think, they have lived near you long enough to have seen it all, LOL.
