"The LEngths some people go to to make a
noise", she gasped as she turned off the
vibrator sitting inside the steel drum outside her front door. "I shall have
to lodge yet another complaint about my neighbour, though I
doubt it will make any difference", she sighed.
HARry was hiding behind the
arras because he had developed an
agria which was rather unsightly. His
mother found him and put some bandages on the affected area so that he could
come out and receive his award. But Harry and his Mum didn't hang
around afterwards, needing to get his agria checked out at the surgery.
FlEuR wasn't a nice person really. She would frequently
sneer at people she considered inferior or feign friendship with
strangers she considered superior. Today she is on her way to a wedding,
hoping to blag her way in as a guest of the bride. On the way she is
belittling a man with a snick in his jacket (which she thinks is a
boring umber colour). The man's job is as a
mere gofer. "I wouldn't be surprised if his dead-end job leads him to
become a doper", she thinks to herself. She's heard rumours that the
bride is to have a sizeable dower, so being in her circle of friends
could be profitable! Fleur is just about to start blagging her way in, when
the celebrity dancer turns up and Fleur has to
defer and let the celebrity make an
entrance ahead of her. When Fleur tries again to get in, the security are
more alert because of the celebrity and they quickly suss out Fleur. They
take her over to the hotel swimming pool and throw her in. There is some
building work going on just outside the hotel and the dozer driver,
whom Fleur had turned her nose up at earlier, was able to have a good laugh
at Fleur's expense as she squelched off to find a place to get sorted out
and especially to find a hair dryer.
The pLAnt had had to be shut down for urgent repair. The workman and
his apprentice had to work fast to minimise the down time. "Come
along lad", chided the workman, "quicker
than that. Turn off the valves so I can get on and change the
gland on this hydraulic cylinder and piston". They worked
smoothly and quickly and everyone was surprised how soon the plant was back
in motion.
ThEodoRe was trying to teach his son some woodworking. "See if
you can prepare a nice even miter on the ends of those pieces of
wood. Oh, that's not bad, although it did peter out at the end. I'm
sure you can easily improve on that." "Don't forget the time", called out
his wife, "they close in an hour." "Gosh yes, I have to go out for a bit,
son, to be a voter in the election",
Theodore said to his son. As he walked to the polling station he was
delighted to spot an otter eating a large fish on the river
bank.
He crept in over the window LEdge, finding himself in the kitchen. He
heard noises in rest of the the house and only had time to steal a cake
before making his escape. When safely out of the way, and feeling hungry, he
took the cake out of its container. "What's that
smell?", thought the
felon. "Ah, I smell clove".
He enjoyed his pumpkin cake.
