While I Await The Time That It Is Socially Acceptable To Vacuum On A Sunday Morning...

...here are three things that occurred within the space of eight hours yesterday:

THING 1:
     A child at pizza hut Conga-ing his way across the restaurant uttering the happy singsong chant of "I'm gonna get my sa-lad, I'm gonna get my sa-lad, I'm gonna get my sa-lad...(etc)".

THING 2:
     A woman waylaying us in the car park of Hurcott Woods with the warning that we should avoid walking along the main path. Reason? There was a man skinny dipping in the lake a few yards ahead.

THING 3:
     A man riding a motorcycle on the wrong side of the road. He drove right past us and it was a full 15 seconds before our stunned brains actually cottoned on to the fact that yes; the reason he had been able to drive right past us as we drove on the left hand side of the road is because he was on that side of the road as well.
     No accident occured and nobody was hurt in this incident and  - once we had been able to comprehend it (there were a few stunned minutes of "...I...but...was he...?") - we noted that he had appeared utterly confident. However, given his apparent disregard for the highway code and the fact that he was wearing neither helmet nor protective clothing, both mother and I agreed that it wouldn't be a particularly long timr before his little jaunt was brought to a calamitous end.

So there you are.

Anyway, t'is now 10:03-AM and I am now able to get on with the vacuuming, but it just goes to show, doesn't it? If ever bored, all you need to do is step outside and take a good look around; there's bound to be something to catch your interest...

PS: for those unfamiliar with the term; 'skinny dipping' is the practice of swimming naked. It isn't often a practice carried in Hurcott Pool (situated in Hurcott Woods, which is situated in Hurcott Village; a place comprising of five picturesque little cottages and one tiny Post Office), however.
     Or at least not to my knowledge it isn't. You never know, do you?

A Belated Note:

Due to various reasons that I'm not going to delve into now, I shall be taking a break from Blogging.

I'll be back when I can.

PS: not that I've been posting all that often in the first place, of course. Or indeed that anybody actually appears to be reading it when I do. But I thought I'd say something anyway; just in case. To be polite.
     Yup.

Did You Know That -

- an atom can be in two places at once (without being split in two)?
     Well, apparently it can.
     Interesting.

.....Of course, I don't in any way understand it.
     But it is interesting.
     Yep.
     =nods=

Interesting is what it is.
