Funny bird, that

Well, after the door incident of yesterday, I never thought I'd find anything to amuse me at the train station again. I was wrong.

Sitting out the front of the station, looking across the grey square with shoppers passing by in all directions, I let my eyes wander watching the world go by. They happened to find a guy with a red and blue hold-all over his shoulder. This is nothing unusual for town. There are hundreds and thousands of them. They are used by oil companies to give to their offshore workers, and they all get the train to Dyce then get the helicopter to the rigs. So anyway, this guy walks diagonally across towards the station doors, minding his own business.

At the same time, there was a lone seagull walking around randomly. The seagulls here aren't normal sized. They are MUTANTS! These beasts can swallow a sandwich WHOLE without even blinking an eyelid. Slight twitch of the beak, and it's gone. Wouldn't be surprised if they've tried to eat children whole before. These things are brutal.

Anyways, this seagull was in the near proximity to this bloke I saw, walking in the other direction, and they paid no attention to each other. And then. Had I been out drinking, I would have said I was drunk. But, considering I haven't had a drink for a good few weeks and it was 10am, I was sober. This seagull turned on his heels, assuming it was a male, and started running towards this poor man. His eyes filled with terror and befuddlement at what this bird was doing. Before he knew it, the animal was off the ground, and bombing for his face. He threw his arms wildly to scare the bird or protect himself, but the bird flew in the other direction anyway.

The bloke clocked me looking, and we both laughed, and I continued to laugh for the next few minutes. It was just such a random thing. However, the bird wasn't finished being cheeky. He started walking over to the corner, where the automatic doors to the train station ticket place were. You merely twitch and these things open. So yes, this bird went towards them, they opened, and he looked in, cocked his head to one sight, then turned and wandered off along the glass front of the shopping centre, pecking at the windows, looking for a way to get in to. I suppose he was wanting to visit Yo-Sushi. Greedy pig. Urrr, I mean, Seagull. I don't think pigs eat sushi, do they...?

To top my morning off, I saw my "son". He's not really my son, but he does call me Mum. Makes me feel old. Only thing is, there's two of them. They both call me Mum. Honestly, why?! Their parents trust me to look after them. It's more like the other way round! I go hyper, and it all ends in mucho hilarity and trouble. Well, trouble if anyone ever found out. But you're not going to tell, are you?? No, I didn't think so. Heehee.
