A photo of the apple trees this morning
We woke up to more snow this morning which
was a bit of a surprise because I'm sure the weather man on the BBC said it was
not going to snow here. They do that
sometimes weathermen, I think maybe they are feeling a bit grumpy or don’t like
their neighbours and have told them it should be great for cutting the grass or
a barbecue or similar such events that are not ideal to undertake in thick
snow. Anyway according to the English
teacher at school Eskimo’s have something like a hundred words for snow because
every snow fall is different and every snowflake in every snow fall is different.
Well today’s snow was certainly different to the snow we have had so far this
year. And if today’s snow had fallen a few days ago then the Snow Zombie would
certainly have looked a little more neat professional than he does. Dad says
that Zombies should not look neat and professional and if they did they would
be called politicians……………….… Dad does not like politicians
OK yes that is just
another distraction what I was going to say is that we had snow with holes in
it today. I asked the English teacher what the Eskimo’s would call snow with
holes in but they did not know, so I asked how the holes were formed but they
did not know, so I asked whether snow with holes had fallen before because I
have not seen snow with holes in before but they did not know. They said that
it is not their fault and that they only deal with the language of snow not the
geography and physics of snow but after asking the geography teacher and
physics teacher about snow that has holes in they both said they did not know.
I don’t wish to sound negative here but I’m sure when I get to school and ask
teachers stuff they are not meant to say I don’t know. They never give me any
marks in my exam when I answer questions with I don’t know . . . . . . . NOT
FAIR
So on my return home I
thought who would know something as important as how holey snow is created and
the answer came into my head AH yes the dog, so I asked the dog and he said it
was all part of the great road stealing conspiracy and that dads weather
machine has a hole option and that the teenagers on the youth training scheme
pinching roads for the government to sell to China were complaining they could
not breath while hidden under all the snow so dad had created a whole new hole snow
type of snow which he has now patented and is planning to sell to people who
might need snow with holes and make millions. . . . . . . . . Mum however has
said that dad is in fact an IDIOT I have been told Eskimo’s have just one word
for idiot which I am told is IDIOT.

(I saved this comment from the era when comments weren't working)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Eskimos only have one word for snow but when they talk their mouth & face are partiaLLy frozen in a hundred different ways. While at my mother's place we watched several episodes of a teleBision show caLLed Alaskan State Troopers. Their state has severe problems with alcohol, both overconsumption and moonshine production. They also have many mean moose.
Well thanks for saving the comment, I have heard of the alcohol problems I think it is the clash of cultures. Sadly modern culture can crush many of the old ways and ideas which is sad. As for many mean moose it reminds me of the song
DeleteThere's a moose loose aboot this hoose..

I don't think I have a moose, but I do have a reindeer who lives in my truck. His name is RIACH-herd, which has the first part meaning Reindeer In A Cup Holder.
DeleteA Reindeer in a Cup Holder sounds like something we should all go and buy, although I am not sure what we then do with it.
