Week 153, Archery

How much?

A quid?

Not a penny more, not a penny less.  Seems a little much but heads you win.

Only time will tell.

Be careful what you wish for as cometh the hour this was a man who would discover whether there was honour among thieves.

Some elements of the fourth estate were happy to accept the return of damages, and lest we give the wrong impression, the prisoner of birth was released shortly thereafter and allowed to perpetrate further crimes against literature.*

Week 152, Rabbit's Hat Mushroom Magic

While walking through woods we spotted a rabbit.

Slow walking enabled us to get within a metre of the creature, Oryctolagus cuniculus, introduced into the UK by the Romans.

We followed the rabbit but it soon disappeared, possibly into a hole.

Near the trees where the rabbit vanished was a mushroom.

Amanita muscaria, or if you never had the Latin, the fly agaric mushroom.

The most iconic of the fungi.

Regularly cropping in literature among the moist, Birch printed pages of such classics as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Here we have one in the natural environment, near Birch trees, with a size about the diameter of a CD.

Some others in this habitat were the size of dinner plates, like the pupils of those that have consumed them.

We left it for the more adventurous, and didn't follow anyone down any holes.

Week 151, Round Back

In the words of Les Dawson* - 

If you were the only girl in the world
You'd have to have a strong back

Obviously this isn't the same thing at all.

I have no idea what I was thinking of.

The note appears to be not quite right, rather like Les Dawson's piano playing.


Alternatively we could look at it as a, poorly laid out, type of logic problem.

A material implication, thus:

7A, 7B and 7 implies ROUND BACK

In this case I think I prefer the piano playing.

Week 150, No Parking At Any Time

That's what the sign says.*

Nowhere to be seen, and not involved in the building work beyond the fence.

White van man strikes again.**

* An amusing juxtaposition and mild diversion on my walk.
** Yes, it was a 'man'.
