FREEWRITE - In praise of the sun, A modern tragedy

The birds tweet in praise of the sun. Disoriented and confused by the sudden appearance of this bright life giver in a long lost blue sky. Drunkenly they sing in unexpected celebration and flutter their wings in a sympathetic dance of keeping the clouds at bay. A hidden symphony unfolding, unnoticed in the trees by the sleepwalking believers in ignorance as bliss below, chasing thier metal dragons belching toxic poison and aural cancers.

Quick Freewrite...Lost?

I found myself lost, the map was bought from Poundland
It was cheap, I thought...a bargain
No Satnav could save me, No pointing hand
Did i mention i was lost, where was i again?
Oh yes.. here?...no, wait...there?
I'm richer with this treasure, x marks the spot
Or is it a warning, fair. or too long to stare?
Confused about what is or what's not?
Never knowing what i've already got....

I'm back

I have just rediscovered this blog. I should probably make a concerted effort to ..erm...blog...stay tuned

Gnomes riding cars

This excerpt is taken from Fortean Times. I wanted to share it as it's a great unusual story and it made me smile. It also illustrates that reality is a fragile thing in many ways.

On the 29th October, 1979 ' ... several 10-year-old schoolchildren saw 60 or so "Noddy-like" bearded gnomes riding cars around Nottingham's Wollaton Park. The entities wore colourful clothes and were "laughing strangely". Two of the boys fell into a "swamp" in a panic when they thought some other gnomes dropped out of trees onto them. Their headmaster gathered their accounts and was IMPressed' (sorry, my capitals, couldnt resist the joke) ' at their sincerity. The case was followed up for us by Nigel Watson. We found the local UFO group's remarks most amusing. Nigel had written to them asking for more info, and their spokesman replied without any sense of irony: " We do not investigate figments of people's imaginations, only UFO reports".'
