Such a Good Day…

Yesterday was launch day for my latest creation, The Mystery of Folly’s End, and promised to be a great day.

On sale for 99p for just one week! Amazon


I was up early and was enjoying my first cup of tea when I heard a lot of flapping going on out in the yard.

I peeked out of the window, wondering what was going on. Two young magpies were visiting my bonsai and looked utterly ridiculous. Birds in proper trees look normal, but these two looked like giants against my small trees!

Normally, I don’t get the time to grab my camera, as birds don’t stay long enough, but I took the chance and grabbed it anyway.

If you see two magpies together, they say it’s “two for joy,” and I hope that’s true. They certainly made my day a lot more special…

      I think it means both, for it can happen that way, can’t it?

      They were quite respectful of my bonsai, but I couldn’t say the same about the hanging basket! They almost flattened the plants in there!

    Congratulations, Jaye. Do you have a US link? Amazon UK won’t ship to me even though it is an e-book.

    I quite often see two magpies, then later in the day, see one. Do these cancel out, or Ddo they both work, and it’s both sorrow and joy? 😅

    My magpies are very noisy and clumsy and I wouldn’t trust them with your bonsai!
