I love doodling



I've always loved doodling, in meetings frequently, all over my exercise books in school or when I'm with other ageplayers as it just destresses me in those sorts of situations totally.

It's also a reason why I tend to keep some colouring books with me from more generic age range ones to those with a single theme because a good half an hour or more working through that neatly helps a lot and indeed in a well planned littles event thing of this nature can be laid on as they can be completed whenever it suits unlike most other sorts of arts and crafts which need to have any mess and spilages contained and things like tables set up.

Consequencies

This kind of conversation at school lunch is so relatable you know.

One kid I hung out with, would hatch a master plan involving deception of Adult Authority figures in our lives such as Teachers or parents in really quite glowing terms about the ease it could be done we all should be in on it.

For our part our minds and our bottoms recalled the spankings we'd had for previous possibly lesser infractions in vivid technocolor so we'd look at each other and say 'meh', 'that can't really work out, John'

That was the beauty of a spanking: You recall the feeling so strongly you never want to go back so it deters you from inappropriate behaviour without getting into really lengthy explinations into why you shouldn't.

You feel the Zolt flash through and that's it.

Tv from the past - Robot Wars

It's been a warm and challenging week with the weather so I thought I'd talk about something else.


Some periods of time with me are in a bit of a fog other periods a lot more vivid but in the great going through of everything a few things came back and that is where we are this week.

Robot Wars was a series that run initially from 1998 to the 2000's starting on BBC Two that had a simple premise.

It was originally presented by Jeremy Clarkson but for series two onwards was Craig Charles.

Make a robot, form a team and compete in a do or die battle against other robots and teams on a stage circuit with a pit and other things to slow you down or for that matter bring you down.


Yes, there are flames to consume robots!

The robot featured is Stinger

The facts and figures Top Trumps style are shown here
Suprisingly hidden away was my Model of that Robot from the era that had escaped my recollection of life in the late 90's , a momento of the show I watched with Dad who loved it and oddly enough Mum.

Being alert

 


Rabbit jumped into a hollow and Pooh and Piglet jumped after him. They crouched in the bracken, listening. The Forest was very silent when you stopped and listened to it. They could see nothing and hear nothing.

“H’sh!” said Rabbit.

“I am,” said Pooh.

Sometimes to descern something you need to switch off the background noise and focus more on what is left.
