Day 302: Hide your fish and chips.


 The humble seagull or as this one should be called the Silver Gull, is the first animal to swoop in on your fish and chips at the beach.  After you have run the 5km of course, so you can actually have your fish and chips.  Subsequently you are pretty guarded about these festering little fat deposits, sitting on the grease proof paper.  Ready to rejoice forbidden flavours in your mouth, yummmm.  Your senses are on top guard.  The unassuming assailant dive bombs before you know it and wham, there goes some chips.  You don’t know whether to thank him for the less fat deposits that will be on your hips now.  Or ‘scream’ at the mind-boggling taste he has taken away.  These birds have been around for a long time for a reason and it isn’t to help you with your calorie count.   It is called survival.  Maybe next time thank him for the extra he took away and you won’t have to run the extra kilometre!
