Evil magpie returns, cat on a broomstick & Actifit

![3D21E019-1634-4C00-8D8F-A2BAE6AC96AF.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZh5TWATdN6Hqp5hedCn9KPhBYVuW4yN3KgBy98GTbKYu/3D21E019-1634-4C00-8D8F-A2BAE6AC96AF.png)

For once, posting an early actifit rather than leaving it to be done just before midnight strikes.

It was a lazy day.  I passed over my iPad to my twins and let them play with [Procreate](https://procreate.art).  This is a drawing application on iPad that is geared for adults, but my 8 y.o children are picking it up with no problems.  One of the twins figured out by herself how to make custom brushes and was teaching me today.  She was too busy playing with the features to finish a drawing.  The above image was done by my other daughter.  I liked how she said to me in her overly serious voice: “You can post it to steemit, mummy.”

I guess I better oblige!  lol

Previously, I wrote about my nemesis, the swooping magpie that hit me ([post here](https://steemit.com/actifit/@linnyplant/actifit-linnyplant-20180923t092901991z)).  His home is at the start of my regular route that I like for its convenience.  So I decided to run it today, I thought I’d brave the evil magpie.  But unlike many times before, I remembered him.  I armed myself with a stick and then I proceeded onwards cautiously.  I was kinda side running and waving the branch gently over my head.  I’m sure I looked a bit silly, but who cares, I was honestly scared—more so than I’d expected.  As I said, he’d never actually hit me before until that last time.  

I scanned up at the canopy of the trees and he didn’t seem to be about.  So I wondered if he was out doing whatever it is that birds do, hunting worms or maybe hanging out in his nest with his family.  Surely the bird couldn’t be on guard all the time, and like humans, he had a life too right?  

Apparently, not! 

I looked away for only a second and he appeared mid-swoop, wings splayed as he flew down in an aggressive arc!  It was terrifying how he attacked at first opportunity.  And since I caught him dive bombing me, he immediately aborted.  Here is a picture of him where he landed.

![65F94E67-5917-4F96-89C2-1D572DF22017.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmThW4dvTq7gh37SZu6yR1hDe1fPhupHoWY3ikQE6yC7Zg/65F94E67-5917-4F96-89C2-1D572DF22017.jpeg)

He attempted again, but had to abort because I was expecting him and waving my stick madly.  Here he is in tree two: 

![A88B0F70-C67D-4951-A2F0-E7F6288E8FBE.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZLRNQb4RJbdevGkRAbnwjgKXdPq5kuU4S8CVijta1ndW/A88B0F70-C67D-4951-A2F0-E7F6288E8FBE.jpeg)

And here he is after his third aborted attempt as he stalked me from tree to tree:

![AFE18252-71A3-4BE9-A914-27C14D61D790.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmataR6w5keFi69WuzEesuvF5jtWig7g3DHCo1cJ3RMZE4/AFE18252-71A3-4BE9-A914-27C14D61D790.jpeg)

Once I reached the safety zone, I spoke to an old lady walking her little dog as I passed.  “Aggressive magpie ahead.  Be careful!  It might just be me he hates, but he swoops and is a real problem.”

She turned back around without a word.  lol

I’m going to have to reroute this much-loved run until summer hits.  He’s such a menace the way he tenaciously stalks me from tree to tree, looking for an opening.  Being engaged in a battle with a bird is just not the best way to start a run to clear your mind.  

So I guess the bird wins!  

I’m really liking my daughter’s idea of a cat on a broomstick...<br><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXv9QWiAYiLCSr3sKxVzUJVrgin3ZZWM2CExEo3fd5GUS/sep3.png"><br><table>	<tr>		<img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRgAoqi4vUVymaro8hXdRraNX6LHkXhMRBZxEo5vVWXDN/ACTIVITYCOUNT.png">	</tr>	<tr>		<div class="text-center"><b>11760</b></div>	</tr></table><table>	<tr>		<img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ6ZT8VaEpaDzB16qZzK8omffbWUpEpe4BkJkMXmN3xrF/ACTIVITYTYPE.png">	</tr>	<tr>		<div class="text-center"><pre><b>Jogging</b></div></pre></div>	</tr></table><div class="text-center"><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmY5UUP99u5ob3D8MA9JJW23zXLjHXHSRofSH3jLGEG1Yr/A-10.png"><a href="https://bit.ly/actifit-app"><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQqfpSmcQtfrHAtzfBtVccXwUL9vKNgZJ2j93m8WNjizw/l5.png"></a><a href="https://bit.ly/actifit-ios"><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbWy8KzKT1UvCvznUTaFPw6wBUcyLtBT5XL9wdbB7Hfmn/l6.png"></a></div>

How far is the beginning of the run from your place? Bring some ham with you next run. Or just run through there holding the stick up, they won't swoop if you're carrying a small tree XD

Gosh, not sure.  I have to walk down a hill and then down another road, so it’s not at my door step.  

I have to feed my enemy?!  I suppose I could bribe my way to friendship... :)

Yep, it was twin 2, she does all the cute animals.  You can’t see it clearly, but there’s a bucket ( which I thought was a hand bag lol) hanging on the broomstick for the cat to put all the lollies she got when the door opens.  The theme was halloween, we’re starting it a bit early.
