It is not surprising then that Bertie is suspicious. I get mildly anxious when I drive faster than 30 mph in the car, imagine me in a racing wheelie bin!! That reminds me of the mad construction my brother once raced down a hill. It was essentially a wooden crate on wheels although he called it a racing car. It was all the more terrifying because he is (and was then) disabled and not all that mobile. No brakes of course. I am sad that we stopped our This Week Junior subscription. My youngsters are just not interested enough and it was only me reading the magazine. I've been thinking of maybe getting the grown-up version but that would probably miss fun facts such as sniffer rats and racing wheelie bins. Have a lovely week xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-22099316837284735762020-10-18T15:06:04.006+01:002020-10-18T15:06:04.006+01:00House building has been crazy around Wakefield too...House building has been crazy around Wakefield too. They've almost built an attached small town. I wonder how schools and doctors etc will cope with the rising population. At one time we were separated for Wakefield by green belt- not any more.

I thought that was quite brilliant. The speed of modern wheelie bins is something to give one pause....i wonder if there are rules about designing racing bins....<br /><br />Poor Bert...no need to be embarrassed...Emma-dog's eyesight is going and she frequently is terrified by menacing blades of grass. xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984286138124792000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-27357654627166072682020-10-16T09:53:59.031+01:002020-10-16T09:53:59.031+01:00Got to be.

Talking of medals, I had heard about Magawa the mine detecting rat. We saw pictures of him wearing his medal attached to his harness and were crossing our fingers that it didn't tip him over the weight threshold! The bin speed record is a new one to me though. I'm intrigued how they did it - was it downhill? I bet if I tied ours to the back of the car R could beat 43mph! Worth a go don't you think?! Enjoy the weekend. xxVeggieMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467026136649574350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-16889997012403284652020-10-15T23:51:26.633+01:002020-10-15T23:51:26.633+01:00I think you're way better off learning what th...I think you're way better off learning what the powers that be decide is appropriate news for children. This adulting is rough business. We just filled out our ballot for the presidential election here in the USA. We're driving it up to the post office in a few minutes. Please cross your fingers that we are able to remove the orange menace from our White House. 4 more years of his malfeasance could ruin us forever.
