HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 10:02I saw Lazlo putting his boots on,
ʎʎqnᴚ on 31/03/20 @ 10:09The wrong way round.
PKPeteK on 31/03/20 @ 10:17...and he was singing a song about elephants....
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 10:48Where’s he going at this hour I wondered . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 10:50...so I decided to join him. The singing...
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 11:00. . got on my friggin nerves after a while . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 11:18..and as I walked towards him, I shouted...
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 11:44Why are you walking backwards?
PKPeteK on 31/03/20 @ 11:47You’re slow enough going forwards!!🤣
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 11:53“I’m practicing my line dancing!” he replied...
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 11:56No! You misheard! I said ‘She’s from Preston’!. . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 12:01Meanwhile, on the road to Garstang.....
HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 12:11I spotted LaurieC putting his boots on . . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 12:18....I noticed a big multicoloured hot air balloon...
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 12:18. . . just floating up above him . . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 12:26In the balloon was a mouse and rabbit....
HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 12:28...playing game of hide & seek.
ARAndy R on 31/03/20 @ 12:34The rabbit jumped up and banged his head on....
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 12:38a very large tree trunk and he said..
ADAlly & Dave on 31/03/20 @ 12:39a cloud . . ‘ I love clouds’ he said . . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 12:39...particularly cirrocumulus, cirrus, cirrostratus, altocumulus, altostratus, and nimbostratus...
ARAndy R on 31/03/20 @ 12:54...but the mouse wasn’t listening as he was..
MTMiss T on 31/03/20 @ 12:54...heating up his Pot Noodles...
ARAndy R on 31/03/20 @ 12:55. . . .don’t eat that rubbish! Your hair will disappear! . . .
GlGlyn2 on 31/03/20 @ 13:00...said the hairless bunny!...
ARAndy R on 31/03/20 @ 13:04You're a rabbit not a hare, he replied!!😋
HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 13:04But I’ve dreamt all my life of being a hare, and I heard, from a fairy in a teapot.....
DaDale on 31/03/20 @ 13:09...that 'hand that do dishes...'
on 31/03/20 @ 13:14[hands not hand]!
ARAndy R on 31/03/20 @ 13:14that some women can't speak only eight words!!! 🙂........
HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 13:16So she laughed and laughed at that man...
DaDale on 31/03/20 @ 13:28who'd eaten too many pot noodles!!! 🙂.........
HiHighpeakman on 31/03/20 @ 13:31Until too her hands became really really soft . . .

MiMitch on 02/04/20 @ 5:09Hi Mitch!🙂 I think our story has come to an end now but it was fun...& very daft...while it lasted!😀

Back to the drawing board for me, so watch out!😉
