Murphy arrived in our life on Friday. Kids at Newstead School named him/her this way. A fallen baby magpie, Sid was really keen to nurture him/her. My mind raced fast and furious, just for a few seconds, before I said say yes. We can give him/ her a home. Sid raced back to school. Another friend could take him home. So they gambled it on heads or tails (pile ou face). Sid won.
I then remembered we were heading to the beach on Saturday. So we made two boxes for Murphy, a big one for the road trip, and a small portable one for the beach, and off we went. The five of us.
