Banksy and the Ferret in the Dark


 Yesterday I sort of wrote YA SUCKS BO we are all sunny and warm and everyone else is in the cold autumn mist, well that was a mistake because today it is cold dark and wet and has felt like mid winter all day. I can tell it has been a bad day from the solar panels on the house, yesterday they produced 15 kilowatts and today they produced a total of 950 watts, so not even one kilowatt. I think that is the worst figure so far. I will say though that overall the solar panels are jolly good they just don’t like days when it is dark even at midday.

Another not so good event today was a trip to the dentist, last time we got rained off when it rained so much it flooded the road, and although it was raining again the roads did not flood. I wonder if there is a connection between going to the dentist and rain, maybe I should stop going to the dentist then it might be permanently sunny although I guess in the end all my teeth would fall out. So is rain and teeth better than sun and no teeth, I am not sure.



At school we all sulked and shone torches at our text books because the headmaster is on an economy drive to save money, and today was too dark to read anything without a torch. I always have one handy in case the end of the world should suddenly turn up, lets face it you cant really predict these things that well unless you are the dog who says it will be 6:30 the first Friday of June next year. Esmeralda luckily has a clip on interchangeable torch attachment, so she was fine also and Freddie’s Ferret can see in the dark so was able to assist Freddie a bit, although the ferret is rubbish at maths so was of limited help. As for the rest of the class there was a lot of falling over chairs and shouts of I’M LOST AT THE BACK OF THE CLASS . . . . . . . . HELP.

The economy drive by the headmaster by the way, is so he can save enough money to clad the front of the school in a new iconic stainless steel façade in keeping with the schools new academy status, rather that low grade breeze block. With the words We love ferrets in huge letters sprayed on in red paint. Which was done by an unknown person a few months ago; it is signed Banksy but I am not sure Banksy likes ferrets much but I know someone who does.

Anyway it is well dark and it is now even 6.00pm yet so I think I will declare that Britain has officially reached Winter, and I am off to eat the second half of my rather delicious Indian takeaway from Montgomery.

    1. Dam stupid machine just as I was writing my final words my PC it did strange things and so my reply was deleted that is twice now in the last couple of days POO.

      I was saying that today was much like yesterday although we have managed a whole 1.5 Kilowatts of power today. I bet those power companies like this no pay outs and we all put the heating on.

      Anyway Mr H I am not that far away from you just a few miles so I suspect you too are enjoying the greyness of the great British weather too. I guess you need to try and entertain the punters a bit when it is like this . . . .

    1. We have been friends with our dentist for many many years however he still likes to jab us with pointy things and drills and the like. So pain and gain and possibly a little insane. . . . as I remember Dustin Hoffman in Marathon man.

      Strangely I have another very good friend who is a dentist and we often meet up for a curry although last time we met in the car park when he reversed into our vehicle slightly with his vehicle. nether of which suffered
