The summer holiday appears to be rapidly
going at the speed of a speeding express train (no not slow I mean quickly) and
I appear to be doing DIY and gardening every day, that can’t be right. This
diary is meant to be the diary of an eccentric child of cyberspace, a Peter Pan
character in a Harry Potter world only less sulky and moody and in an Adrian
Mole Diary format. So all this DIY and gardening is fundamentally wrong,
however I am working on it, and I talked the dog into eating a large alarm
clock. Peter Pan had a large scary ticking beast, unfortunately I had not
considered the fact that the dog would chew my alarm clock quite that much so
it stopped ticking. You can let a dog
off once with that mistake but after he had chewed the fifth alarm clock I was
a bit annoyed and had no alarm clocks left. In the end he swallowed my ipop in
one go and spend the day busking outside the out of town supermarket singing the
Ace of Spades (again, I know it’s a small world, things repeat themselves).
Meanwhile Miss Fionaski
the Famous Russian Spy is off today to the moon on a secret mission which I must
not mention……..DAM……… Sorry I did, and Captain Nessman of the High Seas starts
heading off for his adventure in China
Heavy Harry the Cat and
the chicken have sort of been playing although Heavy Harry the Cat was not
entirely happy that the Chicken tried to nick his drink. Mum was out in her
black Lamborghini and muttering about the so called Bradley Wiggins effect,
this for those who do not know of the Bradley Wiggins effect is groups of unfit
men on expensive bicycles cycling on the road and looking like a heart attack
on wheels. I personally think it is best to leave this to Bradley Wiggins
himself he is much better at it that the rest of us after all I would not leap
out of a tall tree and flap my arms just because a pigeon does (yes yes I know
I did try it just the once).
As for me I was gardening
again, well after I stripped the strimmer down and rebuilt in which took half
the morning to do, it was bought in 1995 and spent the first 10 years of its
life outside regardless of the weather so it sometimes decides to sulk a bit. I
once met the man who invented and designed Black and Decker’s first electric string trimmer in 1970 (the
model #8200) but he never got the credit for the design which was given to an
American the following year. Life is fickle (again). But this is all a
distraction from the fact I have not done anything interesting today what so
ever.
Oooooo I did catapult a dead pigeon over a
fence……….
.
What?? With an actual catapult???
ReplyDeleteI may have slightly exaggerated about the catapult it may have been more a carefully directed throw, sort of like launching a model aircraft into the sky. However for a couple of seconds the pigeon gracefully flew through the air until it arced back to earth and landed badly like a dead pigeon on a bad day.
DeleteI replaced a broken electric motor today, that vvas kinda fun. I spent an e><tra long time at the diner because business vvas not busy because of the heavy rain. I used a coLLapsable sun guard as an urnbreLLa. Then I drove in the rain because it vvas rnaking vvonderful vvisps of ground hugging fog. It vvas beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo we are talking Ground Hug Day then Mr ESB..... I rather like it when the fog scurries across the ground like that myself but I have not seen that here is a long time... too much rain me thinks.
DeleteHahahahaha ..."Ground Hug Day"
DeleteThe crocodile was after Captain Hook not Peter Pan. Sorry, I'm one of those annoying people who correct others.
ReplyDeleteI knew that but I needed something suitable that was big and ticked or I was left with Tinkerbell. I would rather have a large scary ticking dog that a shall glowing person that flies about like a nano spacecraft, although put that way it does not sound so bad.....
