Michelangelo and the Llanfasistine Chapel


In school we were discussing the weight of clouds, and I am not a fool so knew that clouds were in fact rather heavy things but then doing a bit of research on the internet via the ever present Google I found someone who said a Cumulus Cloud could weigh the same as 6000 blue whales. WOW. Of course not all information on the internet is correct but I decided that this was plainly true because it sounds good.  So the weight of the clouds over Wales in Whales must be greater than the weight of Wales, and probably explains why there are several narrow gauge Whale Weighs in Wales (HA HAH AHAHH HAH HAHH HAH HAH HAHH HAH HAHHHhahahaha ahh ahha hahaha)

Me and the dog had a go at summoning up the Ghost of Michelangelo a short while ago as I was silly enough to play Scissors Paper Stone to see who had to paint the awkward bits of the kitchen lying on their back. Yes we all know I loose ever single time. Now painting upside down on your back is not easy so I am interested to know how that   Michelangelo bloke managed it. As it turns out the Ghost of Michelangelo and the dog are mates so after a bit of dabbling in the black arts of Voodoo and spinning the cat over my head (I have since learnt the dog told me to do that just to annoy the cat) we had the Ghost of Michelangelo standing in front of us. I knew there was a problem straight away as he was standing in a white van holding an ice-cream, it appears he was Mr Michelangelo from Michelangelo’s famous Italian ice cream van which used to stop outside the Llanfasistine Chapel in the summer. Anyway he said the trick is non drip paint and a good brush.

In general today it was quiet although back in the square in Montgomery as I write there will be the funfair machines eating children and money ( I avoid it now, since learning of the machines that eat children). I must see if Miss Fionaski will be adding pictures to her Facebook page as a cunning ploy to cover her meeting with other spies and exchanging microfilms.

I wonder if the Cyclone at the funfair weights the same as 6000 whales. ………AH apparently not mum has just said IDIOT

  1. Some of the clouds overhead just recently do look rather heavy so I'm inclined to believe it (but then I am a rather naive person).

    1. They are remarkably heavy things clouds, I'm sure there is a logical reason for them staying up in the air

  2. Folks dabbling in voodoo and conjuring the ghosts of Italian Renaissance Artists? Sounds like an average day in my household.

    1. Miss Lily you have recovered from that A to Z thing, that is good to see. It is much easier to post everyday when you don't have to. Not sure I will do it again, well certainly not in the same way.

  3. One day on a return trip home from college during my freshman year when I didn't have a vehicle but depended upon my cousin Becky, I calculated the weight of a cloud for her. She was surprised.

    I was going to translate the word "Rob" into Chinese for you, but then remembered that your ancient computer doesn't display strange characters. I wiLL see what I can do to get around this difficulty.

    1. I was able to generate the Chinese character for "rob" as a photo, and I was able to e-mail it to myself, but I couldn't find an e-mail address for you.

    2. e-mail to barrieg1@gmail.com ...... It is the email of the grumpy ghost writer although neither of us look at email much.

      I will however add the Chinese character set to the PC probably tomorrow as it is getting late. As my good friend Captain Nessman on Facebook uses a lot of Chinese. So if two of you start I will definitely go mad
