I was planning to write my
diary entry for the day ages ago but Sooty the Cat was showing an unhealthy
interest in my computer making life very difficult indeed. In particular it was
rather attracted to the mouse, and it was at that point I realized that I had
two mice one a Belkin thing that changes colour all the time and the other a
furry golden brown with big eyes. I don’t know where the second mouse came from;
OK I do, outside but why it was next to my PC is anyone’s guess, but I was then
forced to save the mouse before I could write my diary entry. Seems like an easy task, small mouse one PC
and one desk but Ooooo No it got into a corner behind a set of draws so I had
to dismantle and remove the draws which meant moving loads of stuff.
Interestingly I found some stuff I didn’t know I had lost yet so that was
useful. In the end though I did catch the mouse and he is now outside safe and
sound, OK as safe and sound as a mouse can be bearing in mind he is in a field
where cows are digging a tunnel and owls are feeding in the evening and red
kites and buzzards are feeding in the day as well as the cats doing a patrol
every hour or so. O yes there is a fox and badgers too.
he is in a translucent plastic box
The weather has been much
better and although dry and sunny it is after all September so for some the
cold and damp can cause a bit of agro in the joints, Like Great Great Auntie
Rose she had trouble with her joints but was let off with a caution by the
judge as she was 115 and as mad as a hatter (she used to be a hatter).
Sorry yes dodgy joints in
the damp can be a real problem if most of those joints are Steam Powered Nano
Electro-Mechanical joints using sophisticated digital to analogue progressive step-motor
control technology and so every now and again Esmeralda would leap up and run
round her desk shouting Kill the Lobsters
Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters Kill
the Lobsters fish pie and then sit down again without remembering she
had just done it. It was OK until Jennie sniggered and then as Esmeralda
quickly changed her click on interchangeable hand for the click on interchangeable
power drill attachment, Jennie did a runner. Esmeralda did leap up to
chase her but instead ran round her desk shouting Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters
Kill the Lobsters Kill the Lobsters fish pie and then sat down again
without remembering a thing so Jennie made it back into class but no one
sniggered after that. The biology
teacher also thought it might be best if we left dissecting lobsters until next
week.
The day went very
peacefully and everything would have been fine if only Esmeralda had been
sitting on the other side of the school bus on the way home, but she got a
glimpse of the fish shop on the way home and it just so happened that there; wandering
along the window was a huge lobster. I don’t know what the outcome of the fight
was but the rest of us carried on home on the school bus before the police got
there so I guess I will read about in the local paper next week. . . . . . . .

MY WORLDS MY WORDS MY WORRIES (so far the only transatlantic member)
And me
.
I love this song
By the way Mr ADDMAN do feel free to collect you RATs Diploma up at the top left if you wish to display it on your blog. You do not have too if you do not wish too.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is not a bad thing, but yesterday I bought more thing for Vietnamese style cooking, and fish sauce was one of them. It was premium fish sauce, according to its label. I am not sure if this means the fish are better, or the process of manufacturing is better, or if they had possibly won a fish sauce award in a fish sauce competition. Mystery. I am planning to do some stir frying to night, just waiting on the 'Start Now!" Phone caLL.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about fish sauce but if I remember correctly Economy blended tea is a better blend that Premium blended tea. I know this because the Ghost Writer once blended tea in a small tea bag manufacturer that he called Dante's Inferno because it was. Sometimes as he said 'A man has to do what a man has to do'.
DeleteIf you go east instead of west, am I the only transpacific member? Then I realized that I could go from Russia to Alaska through the Bering Sea, avoiding the Pacific Ocean. So now I wonder if that makes me transbering? I wiLL repeat this new word transbering over and over several times, sometimes with my mouth empty, and then partiaLLy fiLL it with goodies such as coffee, and Strawberry Twizzler candy, and ice cream, to determine if that makes any difference. Oopz, I didn't mean that I was going to drink coffee, AND eat Strawberry Twizzlers AND ice cream ALL at the same time, why, I have no death wish! Besides, there is a wonder seafood bisque with lobster ravioli in my tummy right now, ah, savoring a wonderful soup. You can find several eXotic connoctions in my groc store that are frozen that require veRy little eXcept heat, weLL, this one required a cup of milk too. It was yummy.
ReplyDeletetransbering needs to be a real word although all I could find was Transberingia bursifolia.
DeleteI will not mention the wonder seafood bisque with lobster ravioli to Esmeralda but it sounds rather Yummy...
The soup comes in a frozen package and only requires a cup of milk, and heat, of course. Oh, and a pan of course, unless you have a pan shaped force field. And a spoon. The brand name is Bertolli's. i got a different frozen soup last night to try soon while groc shopping. But missed-stir-ish-ly there were no packages of the kind that I first bought, *sadness of the taste buds* I did have to add a little black pepper. Does Esmeralda have riotous risky bisque-y induced episodes? Does she unravel at the sight of ravioli? Would that be caLLed unravioli?
DeleteI was able to find a cool sounding common name for the Transberingia bursafolia ssp. virgata. It is Twiggy halimolobos. I think the 'ssp' stands for sub species. This made me wonder, are there currently sub species of humans? I think there is plenty of evidence reading the news lately ....
DeleteI agree with that . . .
DeleteThank you very much. I think I will display the RATs diploma on my blog. I feel honoured to join the group, and hope I can be as radical, abstract and think as much as can be expected of me.
ReplyDeleteIt is not easy to become a member of RATs, it is not based on one or two posts and so it is an honour to have you as a member. I think we can easily avoid the disasters that befell The Annual Cheese Fair.
DeleteI am humble leader and see us all as equal, although I get to sit in the huge golden throne illuminated by spot lamps with the word grand leader in neon light above and flanked by two large leopards
I am glad to see Muppets for Justice in our little gang (is gang too strong a word? I don't to lead us on a dirty path that ends with tattoos and prison sentences) My only concern is that he IS very funny and clever... almost too clever for my liking. Need to keep an eye on theses new members y'know. Could upset the apple cart.
ReplyDeleteDo we have an apple cart?
Well Done Addman! Do you know anyone who has an apple cart? I think we need one for something.
I do have apples Mr H but not a cart I wonder if a supermarket trolley will do. Or I could buy an 'Exchange and Mart' and apply the old London slang . . . . . . .
DeleteI don't have an apple cart but I do have apple cider. I borrowed my wife's little red wagon, but the wheel shattered while I was hauling a smaLL air conditioner. It was old plastic. I need to repair it. It is currently acting as an eXtremely non-linearly calibrated rain gauge (tilted).
DeleteI have a wheel barrow that does the same job in a very non linear way.
