I am late again, it is all this doing stuff
that is the problem so actually writing about what I have done is then harder.
Anyway because it is late this is going to be the short abbreviated diary entry
just in order to keep continuity, a diary without continuity is like a seagull
without a mad glint in his eye and a belligerent swagger outside the fish and
chip shop on a Friday night.
So in short we discovered that a Robot
Elvis Duck is rubbish at swimming in a pond, A Glow in the Dark Robot Duck will
float about but in a very uninteresting way, not in the true spirit of Ducks. And
finally a traditional Female Mallard Robot Steam powered Duck is a good swimmer
as long as any holes are properly filled up so that it does not list to
starboard.
We also tested the old
pond pump and it still works but we had not anticipated that it would siphon
half the water out of the Robot Duck testing pond when it was turned off. Yes
we should have thought of that, but even the minds of mad mechanical geniuses
are not infallible or even inflatable.
I managed to get some PVA
glue to glue things and showed Mr F round a shop and I have just been eating
Bombay Mix and eating toast and peanut butter . . . . . YUM; even though it is
rather late because that is the sort of chap I am… . . . . . . .
Ooooooo and an old
traction engine passed the house today on its way to somewhere so I took a
photo and told them that the internal combustion engine would be far easier to
park.
What the duck are you on about. Another fowl posting, me thinks! That traction engine looks like a Welsh bus.
ReplyDeleteHa ha and ha at two thirty on a Sunday morning!!!!!
It is rather clean and tidy for a Welsh bus, Well a Welsh School bus.
DeleteA duck is not a duck when it's a goose. Hope that clears things up for you.
ReplyDeleteAre ducks called duscks because they duck under the water, or is ducking called ducking because ducks duck?
DeleteI could never understand Duck tape until it was made clear in the DIY store that I was an IDIOT. . . .
DeleteI saw all the carnage from the steam rally today as I drove down the A5. tail backs for miles n miles of petrol cars.
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that if they had all been steam powered there would not have been a traffic jam because nobody would have been able to go fater than 2 miles an hour anyway!
hahahahahahahaha.
Some very cool looking machines though.
A car mast pass an emissions test to get through an MOT, but traction engines dont which seems a little unfair....
