Scratch and lick Christmas Cards, Hieroglyphics and a Sparrow Hawk

The most observant of you will have noticed that I did not write a diary post yesterday as I had been busy and was tired, but the drawback to this is that I can’t now remember what I did. This is one of the reasons I started this diary in the first place so that I could keep track of what I have done.  I do know that one of the ways to remember stuff is to put it all into a journey or story with images and associations with strange little things, but my story has got rather long

It may well have been yesterday that I was attempting to teach hieroglyphics to small children as part of the Zombie defence classes.  This is a useful skill as Zombies can just about read hieroglyphics (although not spell it) as they are taught this by their Mummies HAH HAH HAHH HAH H HHAH HA HAH HA HAH HAhha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahah ah ah aha hah ah ah ah ah ah ha ha ah. Just to prove a point while talking about Hieroglyphics I forgot to mention that a couple of days ago while looking out of the window at a small Robin eating seed, a Sparrow Hawk swooped down and grabbed it and flew off with it, nature is rotten sometimes.



Anyway today involved a trip to Montgomery, swapping a packet of soap powder for a packet of soap powder of the same type, moving some small sticks, and picking up three blue bags and then putting three blue bags down again and putting some recycling into a recycling skip. I will not elaborate on any of this in any great detail because it would scare off the very nice Steven Spielberg who to the best of my knowledge has never shown any inclination to make a film involving the swapping of soap powder. Mind you this is just the kind of small detail that aliens would show great interest in  as it is a clear sign of intelligent life rather that the dog eat dog lifestyle of nature in the raw, or should I say Sparrow Hawk eat Robin.  If I was to draw a Sparrow Hawk on some of those rather boring Robin Christmas cards and add a bit of tomato ketchup for effect, I could send them to friends for Christmas. They would be like those scratch and sniff cards or in this case scratch and lick . . . . . . .WELL COOL . . . . .

AH mum has just said IDIOT

  1. I would buy a scratch and lick card, especially if you can get a deal going with Terry's Chocolate Orange. I think this will be the big trend in 2014.

    2. I will work on a prototype to test its viability I may even cover it in some sort of exploding candy as suggested by Mr H and sent it to Terry? I assume you mean Terry Wogan, Mr Addman . . . I am not really a fan either so rather than pop I may consider a slightly larger bang noise.

      Christmas cards already Mr H, I am impressed but I bet it tastes rubbish as a scratch and lick card.

    1. I would prefer it a little warmer but then I prefer frost to cold dull damp days which are rapidly becoming the norm at present.

  3. I am off doing stuff tonight so will not be posting a diary entry again tonight. However I need to remind myself (for the catch up post) that while shopping in the local Co-op I was rather amused by a lengthy discussion by some of the staff about the most suitable knife to stab someone. It had something to do with a change in policy about knifes being sold in the shop, maybe they now have to give customer advice on the most suitable knife to attack the general public, cut cheese or fend of Sparrow Hawks with.

    I hope to be back Thursday evening, but it is the funeral of Mr M on Thursday so we will see how time goes.

  4. I studied hieroglyphics for about one and a half days a long time ago so I am not sure if that makes me an eXpert or not. I was sitting in my best friend's house and I noticed that her husband was putting a glyph on a waLL and I thought, hmm, I think that one is backwards. Sure enough, he had flipped the transparency he was using as a guide.
