Having A Clear Out (Ridiculous)

As I’m back home, my Mum and I have been having a sort out of all of the random stuff we’ve acquired over the years.

 

My mum came across this delightful Mother’s day card I gave her as a child… It is actually ridiculous!

 

 

In case you have trouble deciphering my childhood script, I’ve transcribed it below:

 

‘Dear Mum

 

Your eyes are like sapphires twinkling all the time.

 

Your lips are like bananas hot in the sun.

 

Your teeth are like crystals sharpened at the end.

 

Your ears are like cushuions soft as snow.

 

Your nose is like ripe plums growing on a tree.

 

Your hair is like brown silk growing in your head.

 

Your eyebrows are like pretend fur tails.

 

Your eyelashes are like pine needles off a christmas tree.

 

Your forehead is like a ball cut in half.

 

Your hole head is like a ball rolling around at the end of your neck.

 

From Claire’

 

I can only assume that we were working on similes and descriptive words at school when I made this. Fyi Mum does not actually have lips resembling bananas or a nose resembling a plum. I can only imagine how hilarious it must have been to receive this. I have been loling ridiculously since we came across it. At least I made an effort with the artwork.

Sonic Boom

Yesterday my parents and I were about to have tea. They were in the kitchen and I was stood in the conservatory.

All of a sudden there was a huge BOOM.

The entire conservatory shook. I literally covered my head and ran into the kitchen as I thought it was about to come down on my head.

It sounded like something huge had fallen on the house. Dad even wondered if the chimney had fallen off! We rushed upstairs to check and Mum was even too scared to look in the bedroom and made Dad go.

Everything was normal though.

We went outside and all the neighbours were out checking everybody was okay.

It really sounded like something had exploded.

I rang my brother who lives a few miles away and he had heard it too. Then on checking twitter people as far away as Coventry and Oxfordshire had also heard it!

Apparently it was caused by a tornado plane that had been cleared to go supersonic over land…

Or an earthquake…

Seems a bit weird that it’s been explained twice.

Or does a sonic boom cause an earthquake??

Really I think it was this guy….

Weird times, hey?

Anyway, today is also this girl’s birthday…

Happy Birthday Lexie!!
