What a lovely day it has been
today, we need more days like this, blues skies and not a cloud to be seen
anywhere, which proved slightly difficult in the art class at school. Because
we were all outside creating conceptual art by describing what interesting
things we could see in the clouds. Luckily the art teacher was able to borrow
the science departments cloud machine for the day, I think I must have been
having an off day because all I saw were the usual things that most people see
when they look at clouds. There was the huge three headed caterpillar with tusks
eating ginger cake in an igloo but I think everyone has seen one of those; then
there was a Jackdaw riding a bicycle and singing about fish while balancing a
frog on its head, and a man being chased by a cardboard box with five legs. I
put all this down to the fact they were fake clouds, as real clouds are far
more interesting.
Still I did
better than Freddie and his ferret, they saw 300 ferrets juggling with marsh
mallows then two ferrets riding on a horse backwards and several ferrets
playing hamlet in a greengrocers shop during a sale. At one point everyone said
they saw a goat doing pirouettes and hanging onto a load of abseiling
equipment, but that was because it was the goat (the school mascot) who
Esmeralda had decided to send to the out of town supermarket via the steam powered
catapult. They have put bars on the skylight now so the goat can’t get in that
way, so Esmeralda has given it a crash course on abseiling in through the air
conditioning system, as it turned out crash course was rather apt as it appears
that air conditioning and goats go not mix well, luckily however the goat is
fine and arrived back with a stash of frozen peas, some stainless steel ducting
and some parts from what looks like a heat exchanger and a fan.
The art teacher
asked Esmeralda what she saw in the clouds and she said a seagull with a set of
car keys, she even pointed to it as the science teacher ran past throwing rocks
at it and shouting give me back my keys
you ************* I don’t think that is what the art teacher had in
mind…….

That was very deep Mr ESB . . . . .PHEW.
DeleteRandall can be veRy amazing at times. His What If?" series on Tuesdays are longer absurd answers to questions that people ask him.

That was a COOL site indeed Mr ESB . . . . . . . . .
DeleteI just discovered something Welshish. The actor Matthew Rhys who plays the Russian spy in the teleBision series The Americans is from Wales. So ... he is reaLLy sneaky, he is Welsh pretending to secretly be a Russian while pretending to be An American. I need a new word for double layered pretending, is it additive or do I use a squaring function mathematicaLLy?
DeleteThat is one of my fav Joni Mitchell songs. *sighs in happy contentment*
ReplyDeleteI have said this before but Esmeralda has really grown on me. She's not a wicked and willful child as I had thought before but rather a child who is spirited and inventive. She's still as mad as a box of frogs though.
And no more talks about ferrets. Spawn has decided that they would make the perfect pet, even if they do attempt to chomp his face off while he sleeps. :)
Apparently I am told by those who keep ferrets, I don't really know them as such but . . . . . It appears ferrets make great pets, just think of it as a big rat. . . . . . . .AH OK maybe not a big rat maybe a medium rat.
DeleteWe get a lot of fog around my way, so it's like living inside a cloud. We get to see all the inner workings, the levers and pulley systems that give them their distinctive shape. If you want me to make you a bespoke cloud, just say the word and I'll float it over your house.
ReplyDeleteI also found myself inside a cloud this morning and was trying to do a drawing of it but I think I mist a bit.
DeleteHAHAH HAH hah ah hahh ah hahhah ha hahhah ah hahhah ah hahhah hah hahh
How do they float clouds are heavy like really heavy.
Hi Rob .. the slightly eccentric diary .. I wonder what someone will make of your jottings in a few hundred years?
ReplyDeleteI'm just dropping by to welcome you to the A - Z .. and I see you're all set and accomplished last year's too ... I'm one of Tina's minions from http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.co.uk/
Cheers and see you around .. enjoy this year's Challenge .. Hilary
Well welcome aboard it is good of you to follow as one of Tina's minions I would say that was very kind indeed, after all you do have loads of blogs to look at.
DeleteI am hoping that my diary will be the only record left of life at this time when historians look for evidence way in the future of our life now. It would be great to think of them trying to recreate a steam powered catapult to fire a goat into a supermarket.
I am certainly more organized for the A to Z this year so I hope I make it to the end (again)
