Personal Transport.

I was looking up a way to get somewhere just now on AA route planner and on the transport for london website and it suddenly occurred to me... forget public transport/cars/bikes/scooters/motorbikes... we literally have our own personal transport attached to us.

Our Legs............

Leg :-

• a human limb; commonly used to refer to a whole limb but technically only the part of the limb between the knee and ankle
• a structure in animals that is similar to a human leg and used for locomotion (now that stupid song is stuck in my head.... come on come on lets doo the locomotion ....)
• Peg: a prosthesis that replaces a missing leg
• limb of an animal used for food

so what i was thinking is honestly just how wierd legs are and the fact that being called legs is in itself wierd enough.... Why Leg!?

Leg

Leg
(now it looks wrong)
Theyre these long things (or short depending on the individual!) that stick out from your torso and move in accordance with your muscles and nerve things etc...(wont get all technical) and one infront of the other makes you walk.... walking............ moving from one spot to the other on your LEGS...........

Now im finding walking a bizare concept!!!!

Ok so no one will probably be able to share this with me but i was sitting in my car the other day and was waiting for my friend to come out her house and and get in, while i was sitting there i was watching people walk and literally everyone was sooo unique but all were doing the same thing - walking... in the same way....left right left right..... and then i turned my attention to drivers...

heres a game for you....

sit in your car at traffic lights at crossroads and watch the drivers pass you. Make sure you keep your concentration on the drivers themselves and flick your eyes from one to the other. EVERYONE LOOKS HYPNOTISED AND SOOOOOO FUNNY!!

that may just be my opinion though.

ANNYYHOO.
Moving on swiftly.

It's been ages since i last wrote but coz of the massive response to my last entry i decided i would leave it for a while.. A ton of things have happened since i last updated but most prominant event was my oven exploding.
My mum had put an apple crumble in the oven (my dads fave. dessert and she wanted to treat him) Me and my sister were sitting in the breakfast room that links on to the kitchen and my mum suddenly announced 'OMG WE HAVE A FIRE' - she tends to overreact to things so me and my sis were just like oh right... but when she continued to say OMG OMG we figured something wasnt right so we went into the kitchen to witness the apple crumble up in flames.

My immediate reaction was to call the fire brigade but my mum was saying no no no - dont call yet, ive shut the oven door so it will starve it of oxygen - so whilst she stood gawping at the crumble [cooking at a much more rapid pace than she expected] me and my sister removed the piles of clean laundry from the side which is directly opposite the oven (incase a fireball erupted we thought it was best to move all flammable things out the way)

So while my sister decided to go upstairs and call her friend for advice, i was in the front room dumping the laundry suddenly, there was a MASSIVELY HUUGGEE bang and we both ran in the kitchen expecting to find everything up in flames but actually, the glass layers had just shattered EXCEPT the outer one (thankfully!) - at that point i dialled 999 and got a fire engine over (i felt so grown up!!!) My mum had to go to the station to pick up my bro who was coming back from uni for a bit and so my and my sister were left to deal with the firemen.

2 mins after i rang, we heard the distinct noise of the fire engine and a few seconds later, they arrived lights flashing and all ready to leap out ready for action. Unfortunately, the drama kind of ended there coz me and my sis ran out onto the driveway to let them know it had just burned itself out so all 7 firemen and 1 firewoman trapsed into the kitchen to secure the oven.

As the guy took out the remains of the crumble he said we were really lucky coz the temperature must have been extremely high as the tray was melting his glove!! - he also said we did the right thing to keep the oven door closed and to call them. either way... that was the story of my exploding oven.

Final thing though - remember my entry about the supposedly sexy firemen?? well... i can now say due to my up close and personal dealings with them... THEY ARE NOT SEXY (though one was.... mmm.. but 1 out of 7 is not good going!)
Ok so to finish off ..... here is the photographical evidence of my adventures..

1) When they had all gone into the kitchen (- you can see my sisters old banger of a car in the driveway)


2) The remains of the crumble ... (sadly after a night in the garden, an animal got to it and we discovered under the larva layer there was perfect crumble!!!!)


3 & 4) Both just random ones after they had left and i was trying to get a picture of them without me succeeding.... the second one you can see their hat in the truck though!!
