I’ve decided to put two different pictures on today -this follows on from my comment on my dressing up a couple of days ago. The pictures are from my first World Book Day<\/strong> at Dursley Primary School<\/strong> the one with the children and my colleagues featured in the local press. The “baby” on my lap is actually a good friend of my Peter’s and is now a civil servant playing a key role in the current crisis! I was supposed to be Mrs Doubtfire! <\/strong>I hope the pictures and the poem make you smile!<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tuesday’s Quiz Answers loosely based on fruit.<\/p>\n a)\u00a0 Tomato<\/span> <\/strong>is called the Love Apple\u00a0\u00a0 b)\u00a0 Chinese Gooseberry is Kiwi Fruit\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong>c) Flower of Kent is the apple that may of landed on Isaac Newton’s<\/span> <\/strong>head (poem at the end of blog)\u00a0 d) The Beatles set up the Apple<\/span><\/strong> label\u00a0 e) Fleegle and friends were the Banana Splits!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The poem at the end is my take on the Isaac’s apple!<\/p>\n Today’s Quiz is all on disguise as I have mentioned my attempts to be someone else-I don’t think it is that hard-I did all from my head!<\/p>\n a) Which Greek hero<\/strong> <\/em>was dressed as a girl by his mother to avoid him going to war? b) Which well known \u00a0fictional character dresses up as a washer woman<\/strong> <\/em>to escape from jail?\u00a0 c) The fictional Sir Percy Blakeney<\/strong> <\/em>is better known as………? d) Who’s place did Sydney Carton<\/strong> <\/em>take?\u00a0 e) Who is Superman?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n A REALLY \u201cGREAT\u201d APPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n Picture the idyllic scene of sixteen sixty-six Eyes transfixed on the heavily laden trees A maggot ridden, wrinkled apple starts to drop Isaac Newton\u2019s Law of Gravity is now a fact <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today’s title says it all.

\nAn orchard bulging with branches of great worth
\nA wigged man pondering-his thought all of a mix
\nAs to, \u201cWhy it is we don\u2019t fall of the earth?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA solitary apple stirs, begins to tremble, shiver
\nRuffled by a flicker of a gentle breeze,
\nIsaac excitedly anticipating, his whole body a quiver.<\/p>\n
\nDescending under Isaac\u2019s scientific scrutiny
\nA violent bruising impact\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026plop!
\nThat moment, that idea\u2026\u2026.Isaac\u2019s destiny.<\/p>\n
\nBut what was the unknown apple, responsible for that?<\/p>\n
