The migratory routes of large flocks of aircraft following the spring Easy Jet Stream


I have harvested the next two mushrooms; I thought the idea was that there would be hundreds of them in the box because that is what is shown on the lid. But last time there was one and now we have two. What I need to know now is, is it increasing by one each time or is it doubling each time……. So will it be three of four in the next crop? Or one, which seems more likely. I think we can cope with this as long as they remain as large as plates.



The sky was full of vapour trails this morning and also tonight on my return home from you know where (or do you?) The dog says he has three theories

The first theory is, after Esmeralda’s new world record (with the schools assistance) of sending a goat up in a rocket higher than anyone else has before. Both the USA and the Russians are determined to better this. The loss of pride by these two super powers in the race to get a goat into space knowing that a dodgy school in the borders of England and Wales is within a whisker of the brink of success, has focused there minds today, and they have launched rockets on mass with goats at the controls (never a good move).

The second theory is that of Armageddon and the USA and Russia are just firing rockets at each other with nuclear goat heads (sorry war heads).

In the cases of theory one and two there is world wide concern about IRAN because as we know Iranian goats are lighter and more nimble and able to endure much higher temperatures and Iran rocket technology has seen the suspicious disappearance of several goats.



Finally theory three is. It was a large flock of aircraft returning to the northern hemisphere  after the mild winter using the spring Easy Jet Stream saving energy by using the thermals of the Ryanair. The main problem for the flocks of aircraft being the lack of food on these migratory routes.

We have asked mum about all three theories and she has said IDIOTS. But she has gone out to see a woman with embroiders gills? We think it must be the auntie of the man from the telly, The Man From Atlantis, we haven’t seen him for years but according to the dog, work just dried up HAHAH Haha hah hhahaha h hahaha haha hah hah ha hah hah hah hah hah hahah hahahaha hah hahh aha …….. …… Dad said IDIOT?

A day in the life of a mushroom and the cat that can walk on water.


Well what has happened today first we have harvested the first mushroom and it will be eaten tonight as part of a mushroom omelette. Now I personally like mushroom omelette, but I know not everyone is a fan so I will not linger on the subject …….. YUM.  

Yes this is the mushroom I grew WELL COOL

I have taken several photos of the sky today, for my back up book The Sky from the Earth because we all know what that very nice man Steven Spielberg is like. As it happens when in discussion the other night someone said War Horse was like Black Beauty. So mmmm ….. I think I will give it a miss.

The sky this morning at 8:30am or there abouts  


The dog has just said what’s that Skippy, the horse fell down the old mine shaft and is now rolling about on the kitchen floor in hysterics.  OK yes the Sky from the Earth (the alternative book) ….. For some strange reason we don’t know we keep getting stripy skies here. I am sure a meteorologist would be able to say AH yes that’s due to Bar Cold from the north or something like that, but sadly I do not have any  meteorologists as friends anywhere in cyberspace so I  can only speculate. The dog has now added there ASDA be a good reason for this reason for this and is in Hysterics again, although mum has added IDIOT.

Our classic 1970's bungalow with loads of solar panels on the roof


The solar panels are working as they should work and dad says we have earned three quid (that’s pounds to my international readers) and bearing in mind it has been overcast and it is February, the middle of the British winter, he recons that is fairly good. In the summer he says we will be able to turn everything on in the house and still have power to spare, I am not sure that is quite what you are meant to do.

Finally, and luckily I have a witness to this Sooty the Cat was sat rather close to the edge of the pond at one point today. And Heavy Harry the Cat saw an opportunity to sort of give him a nudge, which he did. Sooty fell in the pond which is about three feet deep but he did not sink and get soaked as we thought he would, no he ran very very fast across the pond like in a cartoon getting out the other side with only wet legs. Neither me or my witness know how the hell he did that, and I don’t have it on camera either but he did run across the water and got out the other side????????? Very strange. I have asked my witness to this event to confirm this, and they have said unless I get twenty pounds by midnight I will say it’s a lie ……………………………..AH, not what I was hoping for.

Tiny sophisticated nano robot flying communication devices and the the world wide weds of spiders


It has been a cold grey day and not nice so we have lit the open fire and are watching flames. Esmeralda did this at school only school does not really have an open fire, well it didn’t. I will admit if did keep us all nice and warm right up to the point that both the headmaster and the fire brigade insisted that we all went outside while they fought the blaze. Just out of curiosity what makes green flames, it is not something you see very often.

The mushroom box is certainly showing signs of life but not much in the way of mushrooms, but it does look rather encouraging that something might leap out of the soil very very soon. Interestingly I too now have small flies scurrying about and I think this is all part of the Strange Alien Mushroom Creatures from Venus communication system. What better than a small nano technology flying communication device to travel between the world wide web of mushroom boxes, Sort of sophisticated homing pigeons (flies). I am sure it was Miss Fionaski the Famous Russian Spy who had seen insect spy bots or the like.




Anyway I suspect like all the best laid plans of alien invaders these tiny sophisticated nano robot flying communication devices travelling their world wide wed of communications between mushroom boxes will fall foul of something simple, something that the mighty minds of the aliens will have not thought off. Yes you are well ahead of me on this; the world wide weds of spiders. An entire invading force brought to its knees by a thin sticky thread created by the humble spider, a creature that can’t even get out of a simple bath without help

Other things of interest today. We have a cunning plan to put solar panels on the roof of our classic nineteen seventies bungalow. As it happens it already has some that heat the hot water system but these will help produce power so that dad can fly a kite high into thunder storms and create huge Mushroom clouds created from the antimatter trapped in the fireballs created themselves by lightning. He is planning to confuse the Aliens from Venus but mum says he is an IDIOT (that’s dad not the creatures from Venus)…
