1181 - BRASS

The town hAd a lovely bay which the Residents enjoyed using. But today alarms were sounding because of a shark cruising in the water. Some teenagers from the town tried to play a prank on the shark to frighten it away but they only just got their ankles out of the way in time. The town's nutty professor set up his own contraption powered by electricity which generated a big spark between two brass spheres. Once this got close to the water the shark was most discombobulated and left the bay in a hurry.

1180 - AISLE

LAuriE was checking out the latest suggestion for her wedding venue. The church looked quite compact so she was uncertain it would be appropriate. But once she got inside and saw the scale of the aisle, her jaw dropped. "That is just what I wanted, though I'll have to pick a different piece of entry music so that it lasts long enough", she cried out. The decision had been made.

1179 - REBEL

LEs was foRever glued to his electronic game machine. His parents were distraught and decided to deprive Les of it for a time. Les thought this was very cruel and found lots of ways to rebel against Mum and Dad. This brought Les no satisfaction and it seemed as if he was getting the worst out of the standoff. So one day he decided to change and take up his Dad's challenge of making miniature wooden models. This was much more satisfying and even resulted in the return of his electronic game machine. But now he spent less time on it because of his new craft skill.

1176 - OWNER

It was a damp drizzly day and Jack wishEd his tRansport wasn't a moped! To take in the scene he pushed up the visor to get a better view. There was Andy practicing to be a roper and Roger practicing to be a rower. As the owner of the paddleboard, Jack got his wet suit on and headed out onto the lake which was so calm and forgiving today. In his proper gear, the drizzle was of no consequence.
