So the year slowly passes and school is
getting into that time of year when everyone is panicking about exams, I never
panic about exams because I studiously revise and remember everything. No, that’s
not quite true, the dog studiously revises and I use mums spy communicating
devices to communicate with the dog who tells me all the answers, this is
called method learning or as the headmaster likes to call it cheating…. It is
not entirely cheating because the dog does do some swotting for the exams.
Anyway school is getting
quieter and so I will expand on my next little project to make a huge canopy
that a large number of people can sit under and party. Ideally I would love to
build this in bamboo but you just can’t get decent bamboo in the UK ,
not the thirty foot long and four inch in diameter stuff. It has always puzzled
me why that will not grow over here because most of the other bamboo types seem
too.
Luckily we have something
that sort of works. although not as well, and that is hazel, no not hazel from
school because she is structurally unsound. By that I mean she will move about
so trying to make a building out of her is near on impossible. We are talking
Hazel as in the shrub tree thing, it is a classic old world building material
and going back a few thousand years the Brits would make houses out of hazel
covered in a mix of mud, dung and straw. I have no plans to do that I will use
canvas. It will then be lit with a million fairy lights and some seating. There
was a time I would make seating, but I have been banned now after the last
garden bench which mum and dad said reminded them of the Spanish Inquisition.
It was made out of hazel which is interesting because Hazel at school is doing
a project on the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected her project to be the Spanish Inquisition there was certainly an
element of surprise involved……….. Hang on that has a familiar sort of ring to
it
OK I’m away
Ooooooooo I should just
say what a lovely warm sunny day today so please note BBC weatherman NO NOT
RAIN,

Hazel is structurally unsound, nice one.
ReplyDeleteThank you sometimes these things just appear as I type, this is definitely one of those. It never entered my mind until it was written, cool things brains although I don't understand how they work......
DeleteNeither did I expect the Spanish Inquisition.
ReplyDeleteNo one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
DeleteVery funny!
ReplyDeletePoor Hazel!
