1307 - FLINT

ALThough he is loved by his Mum, he does have his stubborn streak and, if he doesn't apologise, he has to pay the consequences. So today as we observe the scene, he toils away with the axe chopping firewood with his X-box temporarily confiscated. He then has to make up the fire and set a flint to it, making sure it gets settled in before he's allowed to get back to what he wants to do.

1306 - KNACK

As it was Thursday, once again he dressed like a swank and headed to town. He wasn't shocked by the child having a spank because his mind was intent on practicing swinging his stick. To his chagrin, with his first attempt it flew out of his hand, narrowly missing a poor duck that was minding its own business! With a "Quack, quack quack", the duck flew off and he picked up his stick resuming his practice. "I'll get the knack of this one day", he muttered to himself.

1305 - FANCY

Inside the hovel the lAp dog looked out of place. It was very noisy and looked mangy with the owner looking quite manky. It was a pitiful sight and the officer had to put his hanky in front of his nose because of the smell. The strange exception in the room was an Andy-Pandy puppet that was pristine and looked very fancy. The officer could have done with Sherlock Holmes alongside to explain what was going on here. As it was he had to take action to rescue the dog and its owner.

1302 - DINGY

"Why is this outboard motor so noisy today? I hope I don't have to take it to be repaired." Bert turned it off and checked it all over. "Oh, I see", he gasped, "This pipe here is now kinky. I'll sort that out and try again". After a bit of work Bert tried again and within minutes the dingy set off with a gentle purr heading for his boat moored up in the river.

1301 - CRAWL

The yacht saiLing cruise wAs going well and eveRyone seemed relaxed. But the skipper and his crew were on the alert and minutes later the alarm sounded with instructions for the passengers to head below. The sailors got to work to prepare the yacht for the upcoming storm and lowered the sails, swiftly tying them up with the brail ropes. As the storm battered the yacht little progress was made; they were going at a crawl. Once it had passed, the cruise could resume and the winds were now favourable allowing them to make up time.
