ALL ROMANTICS MEET THE SAME FATE.....

It should be born in mind that the Superintendent of Electricity, Durban, Allen Spence's own words for his project were: A Highly-Technical Computerised Anti-theft device.

Going up the top last night I noticed that Captain Courageous streetlight pole outside No. 6 looks pretty much like an ordinary pole now. The blinding new lightbulb and cover work as a 'brilliant' distraction. However, as always, standing down in my garden one gets a different view of things entirely. The t-bar at the top of his pole still glows with an eerie lumo glow and there are sensors shining at that angle.

The fact that every movement on the verges is monitored makes it simple for the Brave one to immediately douse whichever sensors are on bright, using his computer. Fantasy? Not at all.

My Hero is trying now to blend into the background and disappear. On whose advice?

I shall continue to invite all and sundry to visit my verge if not my home to see the wondrous sights all around. Course with my lack of communication skills the Beast will have little to fear....

Once again, I cleaned out the dark green plastic tub that lives tucked under the shrubs in the front garden. I see it is definitely taking on a white chalky, brittle appearance (the actual plastic) and I have to wonder to myself how often the kids next door will be safely using their new plastic swing set installed last week... idiot!!!!! Ive not heard it being used at all so far but probably just bad timing?

If the reason for placing it so prominently there in the front garden is to purport to do his OWN tests on the plastic? Then may I remind you that Sophie's tub is right under the shrubs in Full shade at all times. A different set of criteria altogether and one which I hope Madam Courageous is going to personally monitor VERY closely. Standing in the sun all day will surely hasten the effects?

5 or even 10 years down the line your girls will just be starting their lives so to speak? Aaargh!

The light on St. Theresa's church roof has not reappeared. Im keeping my fingers crossed that one of the more adventurous Muni droogs will scale the actual statue of Her Holiness and place a sensor on her head! Just for a lark mind you....:}

The bedroom sensor on full strength last night at 9.00pm and again when I rose in the dark this morning. What gems does he hope to glean or is this just his perverted obsession still? You have got to love it!

Shut out of all the channels on Phreikchat last night with a connection error.

Captain Courageous has indeed earned his 'current' title. *barfs.......

I WISH I HAD A RIVER......

The water pressure was right down again this morning. Another burst pipe/deliberate run-off? No sewage pong until 9.00am when, for a short while, it was pretty over-powering.

I suspect dear Nobby (The Captain's staunch four-legged security guard) is being used as a pawn in one of the Captains lamer attempts at stirring.

More often than not these days this enormous animal is being shut off the property as his owners come and go.

Due to his size, the usual claims that 'they didnt see him' dont really cut much ice.

Yesterday - a variation on a similar theme... One of the Courageous one's electric gates was jammed open and Nobby, enjoying his freedom, declined to go back in. No effort was made to encourage him back, in spite of my request.

The Captain and his lady are very well aware of the killer dog up at No. 10 and that this dog has already on one occasion, damaged the amiable Nobster quite badly.

I can only guess (as ive probably mentioned before in my dotage) that it is hoped I will fall out with the owners of the killer dog should he once again attack Nobby?

How could I even imagine such a sick plan? Well, Ive lived here for 30 years and known the charming Ballirams for wot? 8 of those years. I pretty much know how things work in Sherwood and Sydenham now .. *beams

I have a feeling that this very well-connected couple are down to scraping the bottom of the barrel. To what ultimate end truly escapes me. Madam Courageous utter aversion to their landline is fairly understandable.

She simply doesnt enjoy being recorded. It would be great if she could get her story right about the non-functioning of said landline heheh...

and to tell me at the gate yesterday that their faithful retainer is 5 months pregnant and has a boyfriend that has at least 3 other lovers was also for reasons beyond my tiny pointed heads understanding. So..?

When I spoke to Elizabeth the retainer later, to futilely beg her to get Nobby off the road, she appeared, if anything, to have LOST weight not gained it. And when I politely enquired about her pregnancy she merely laughed and denied being pregnant. A mere communication glytch? Possibly.

Either way, it would be a pity to see her go as she is good with the baby and appears to be very hard working.

Sophie and I waited at the top this morning to wave at Captain Courageous as he drove by UP the Crescent. Alas, he turned his head away. None of the charming cheesy grins he gives us when we have company .

Dressed in casual gear, and going UP the road? Hmm... to the Station? to his in-laws in Garbett Road to make adjustments? Busy Boy he is indeed....

A question here:

theres this little valley and the air is Full of Electro Magnetic Force but the sky above is cloudless and clear so those unfortunates who are hypersensitive feel ok right?

But - on an overcast day, does the cloud cover somehow trap the EMF and intensify these 'radio waves' causing nausea and headaches? Wish I knew...

Ive a feeling that none of you really know the answer either....or care for that matter...

Eish.....
