I have not mentioned the weather much
lately, partly because dad got paid loads of money to ensure that the weather
during the Olympics was good, but he also got paid loads of money to ensure it
was rotten too. So he has worked hard to achieve both; and done a rather good
job of it too if you ask me. However today
was too hot here by far, I have tried to cut some more of the grass but it is
not easy when it is this hot. It grows rather fast when it is both hot and wet
so will need cutting again soon. I also got to fix a sewing machine that
someone had taken apart to see how it came apart, it is a tempting thing to do
take things apart, and I do it all the time. There is a real sense of satisfaction
putting it back together and finding you have managed to save three parts and a
few screws and it still works, mostly.
I feel I am now 95.45%
back to normal which is not bad, after my bug and seeing the accountant
yesterday, cutting grass and dealing
with a very hot day today, if I keep getting better I will be on course for my
own Olympic gold in the next Olympic games in Brazil? (I think it is Brazil , OK yes Rio ).
I thought I would train for the Cracking Brazil nuts with your Teeth Competition;
I know the dog can beat me dead easy but he is a dog and therefore banned from
competing. The dog says its discrimination but I said it would be the same as a
seagull doing the long jump, or jelly fish in the synchronized diving competition.
As part of my training for
my sporting career as a famous Olympian I was lying in the bath holding my
breath underwater. This gave me the opportunity to take a picture of the Ghost
Writer taking a picture of me, using my underwater camera. Just after I took
this picture however the dog said he would help and held my head under the
water for ages, he said it would strengthen my lungs.
It appears the Brits won
some more medals today too and it appears a man who can run very fast, ran very
fast but not as fast has he can. And another man who can run further very fast
ran very fast as well in fact faster than anyone has run before so WELL COOL.

I caught myself thinking about what Olympic event I would be good at.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to conclude anything as yet.
If they gave out medals for not making your mind up, I would probably have to to think about whether or not I would turn up.
in other news while mowing the grass on site i worked out that I walk over 1.5 kilometers just doing one edge of the site inbetween the pitches*.
*not including the bits where i take a few extra steps to avoid the nettles poking out from the filed next door.
I think you are obviously one of Britain's top grass cutters doing that. I think you would be in with a good fighting chance of a gold medal as there are several things in your favour. One.... as an experienced Grass cutter Lottery funding would be assured. Two..... Britain leads the world in the strange sport of lawnmower racing so the technical support would be second to none. Three..... It is a sport you can practice all year round there is no need for those silly fake all weather tracks to train on in Britain.... Four Only Us British are mad enough to turn up at the next Olympics with a Lawn Mowing team, I might even apply myself to be part of the synchronized lawn mover event...
DeleteYes I think you have inadvertently hit on the best Olympic sporting event anyone has ever thought of. I can see the British mechanic now down at the start oiling the chain on the carbon fibre blades of the trusty light weight Suffolk Punch Cylinder Mower
It could be a rather good idea, however, Being a sufferer of hayfever I may have to rule myself out of the running before we even get to the starting blocks... maybe i could manage the team from a distance with tissues up my nose.
DeleteI think in the Olympics you need to be very careful what you stick up your nose Mr H even an innocent tissue may be construed as suspicious by the powers that be.
DeleteJust one small question though Mr H bearing what you say about hay-fever... You run a caravan and camping park full of grass and stuff, is that not sort of leaping into the lions den.
I remember when I was a tiny boy and competed in a foot race against my younger brother and lost. I complained, using the logic that I was s'pposed to be the winner since I was older.
ReplyDeleteThat to me seems very fair. If you are the older brother then you should be first at running and stuff. Although you do have the disadvantage of more thoughts to carry in your head. I am not entirely sure what a thought weighs but it must weigh something.
DeleteHaving thought about that thought it has occurred to me that in thinking about that my brain is now slightly heavier. If I continue to think about this I may turn into a blackhole as my thoughts rapidly get out of control, so I will return to cutting the hedge.
I know a little Portuguese so I would be of some use in the Rio Olympics.

Cool. You win the Gold for the UK in that competition, and I will win the Gold for the U.S.A. in the Ogling Brazilian gals in their skimpy bikini's, deal?
ReplyDeleteNo dice. I'll fight you to the wire in that competition.
DeleteI will leave you two to fight that out in a photo finish, while I watch lawn mowers and eat Brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are very good for you too .....
DeleteSomeone has got to do it.....
