This is one of those days when I’m
not really sure what to write so I think I will just waffle for a while and see
where it takes me.
I don’t know if this hit the news
where you are. An eleven year old ran away from home and took himself to the
airport, got through the border controls, actually boarded an aircraft and wasn’t
discovered until he was in America. Needless to say he was returned quick
smart. The TV news was full of it this morning and the upshot was that some
staff at the airport have been suspended. Questions were asked of the head of airport
security, but I didn’t hear anyone questioning the Mother about the fact that
this kid had had obviously been missing from home for many hours. To top it all
there was an item in the paper this evening about how much of an adventure the
kid thought it was.
I saw something odd in the sky
when I went out for a short walk at lunchtime. I usually see planes on their approach
path to land. Well today it wasn’t a plane, nor a bird, no superman. It was an
airship. Yes that’s right and t wasn’t tethered either. It did look to be moving
around under it own steam rather than being randomly blown about by the breeze.
Talking about superman. A chap in
front of me in the queue at Starbucks the other day had a superman Tee shirt
on. I nodded at it and said to him very quietly. “So are you still able to leap
tall building at a single bound?” He looked a bit startled at first at being discovered,
then beckoned me closer., and looking around to make sure no one was listening he
replied quietly “ Don’t spread it about, but I’m not superman”
