Pachyderms and monorails do not mix.

Tuffi the elephant did not enjoy her ride on the Wuppertal Monorail.

Was that the one they showed on TV a while back, the elephant threw a wobly and jumped out into the river below.

I have just finished eating an apple.So what you are saying to yourselves,but this is not any ordinary apple.This is an apple picked yesterday from the tree in George's garden.No spots no soft bits if Heineken made apples this would be it.Oh so crisp so hard so tasty SO FRESH what a fantastic apple.

Intact?

Shockingly, yes!

Overhead rail? Is that where rails are supposed to be? Overhead? I wonder if they've fully thought that one through. Rails are, afterall, rather heavy, and heads are actually rather soft. Is this just a modern-day sword of Damocles?

No... Astonishingly, the postman did not do their usual of knocking with the force of a fairy-wing prior to legging it up the drive with the speed of Mr. Bolt.

He knocked properly and allowed more than 5 nanoseconds before vanishing.

I thought I had a parcel being delivered, but it was just the Republicans canvassing prior to next month's election.

I made apple scones today (still wading our way through the little green buggers).

I have to report they needed 33 minutes in the oven rather than the prescribed 25 to 30 minutes.

Never mind that. Did you use buttermilk? Think carefully before you answer.

Morning. The sky is brightening up here and starting to take on a pinkish blue colour. It looks as though we have had a bit of a frost as my car's windows are covered in a light white film.

anyway - I have this theory that little pedals wont stand a chance against big shoes.
