On Monday, I felt quite humbled by the sheer quantity of poppies at the Tower. Today, I woke to the equally amazing news that we had landed a probe on a comet.
Imagine setting out to make 888,246 ceramic poppies. Imagine setting out to land an object on a rock moving at 41,176.47 mph. Mind boggling, both.
I think humans can be extraordinary when they want to. Why on earth they also sit around dreaming up ways to kill each other over belief in bollocks, is beyond me. I despair when I realise that if religion had its way, we’d have probably never gone beyond banging rocks together.
However, enough of that!
This morning the day was without rain so it was decided (upon my return from the shops) to take the dogs to Frensham Little Pond. Apart from the fact that we love it there, I had yet to see all the changes.
And to our surprise, there was a film crew there working on a movie. According to a chap we passed, they were killing zombies. I have since discovered that they are presently making a screen adaptation of the best selling novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I am seriously going to enjoy it when it is released…for so many reasons.
All we saw as we walked by was a load of tents, a couple of flags and some sort of wheeled structure on the hill. Sadly, I didn’t take my camera. Maybe we should return on the weekend.
Needless to say that as soon as we finished our walk and started for home, the sky turned black and the rain returned. Typical.
Bother!! I thought that men’t you would get your path done.
love mum and dad xx
