The Little Blue Glass Pyramid and Muriel go to Clacton <\/b><\/p>\n
It was a very hot summer\u2019s day in Clacton during what had been quite an ordinary summer<\/p>\n
The Little Blue Glass Pyramid and Muriel had left their lodgings quite early and were walking towards the beach<\/p>\n
As normal The Little Blue Glass Pyramid was in a foul mood<\/p>\n
He did not like crowds and Clacton was full of very pale people who had saturated the small seaside town<\/p>\n
Before we go to the beach let’s pop into a newsagents and buy a Sunday paper <\/i><\/p>\n
A middle aged cyclist dressed entirely in Lycra passed them on the narrow pavement<\/p>\n
Hey there is a road there you bloody idiot <\/i><\/p>\n
Really Blue do you always have to react when someone rides on the pavement <\/i><\/p>\n
It is because I cannot stand men in Lycra cycling on pavements <\/i><\/p>\n
Whatever do they look like?<\/i><\/p>\n
There is something a little perverted about men wearing Lycra <\/i><\/p>\n
Be quiet Blue <\/i><\/p>\n
And they have the cheek to ride on pavements <\/i><\/p>\n
Be quiet Blue <\/i><\/p>\n
Because they are afraid that the big nasty cars might squash them \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Teach then a lesson<\/em><\/p>\n Be quiet Blue <\/i><\/p>\n Muriel stopped outside of a newsagents shop and picked a copy of the Daily Mail from the rack in front of the main display window<\/p>\n Make yourself useful and pay for the paper<\/i><\/p>\n I will choose a couple of postcards for Florrie and Florrie <\/i><\/p>\n Just across the road from the newsagents there was a scruffy weathered bus shelter where both The Little Blue Glass Pyramid and Muriel could see a child of about eight crying<\/p>\n Her mother looked slightly at a loss as to how to quieten the child<\/p>\n Do you think that she needs assistance?<\/i><\/p>\n I would keep out of it <\/i><\/p>\n None of our business <\/i><\/p>\n Muriel ignored her husband and crossed the road<\/p>\n Sorry to poke my nose in but can I help?<\/i><\/p>\n Have you purchased a Daily Mail today?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes <\/i><\/p>\n Are you planning to keep the free gift?<\/i><\/p>\n No I was planning to bin it <\/i><\/p>\n I know this is a cheek but little Cherry Cherry here has lost her how to identify your visitor from outer space identification pack and has not been able to help her alien who then ran away <\/i><\/p>\n But she has found another one <\/i><\/p>\n Muriel glanced up and saw the visitor from outer space standing half hidden in the shadows<\/p>\n Blue you do not want the identifiy your visitor from outer space identification pack do you?<\/i><\/p>\n Why should I <\/i><\/p>\n Waste of time<\/i><\/p>\n Send them all back I say <\/i><\/p>\n Muriel pulled the small polythene bag from the newspaper and handed it to the child<\/p>\n There you are my dear call your alien friend over and now you can identify him <\/i><\/p>\n It encourages them you know <\/i><\/p>\n I do not know why the newspaper did it in the first place <\/i><\/p>\n I have a thought to write to them <\/i><\/p>\n Many will have the same idea as me <\/i><\/p>\n Be quiet Blue otherwise we will not visit the beach <\/i><\/p>\n The mother of the child took the alien by his hand and led him towards the bench next to her daughter<\/p>\n Just follow the directions my dear <\/i><\/p>\n The child pulled the green numbered sticker from the adhesive pad<\/p>\n What is your name?<\/i><\/p>\n Ado <\/i><\/p>\n Ado? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes\u00a0 ay dee ooo<\/i><\/p>\n With a surprising dexterity the child added the details of the alien onto the sticky badge<\/p>\n NUMBER 101 NAME ADO<\/p>\n The child stuck the badge on to the worn jacket of the alien<\/p>\n Now be off with you and do not leave the town or the police will bring you back <\/i><\/p>\n The alien smiled<\/p>\n NUMBER 101 NAME ADO I AM ADO<\/p>\n Say thank you to the kind lady Julie Julie <\/i><\/p>\n Thank you that was gracious of you and The Little Blue Glass Pyramid <\/i><\/p>\n Nothing to do with me <\/i><\/p>\n Send them back I say <\/i><\/p>\n The mother and the child left the bus shelter and walked in the general direction of the fun fair<\/p>\n If you do not cheer up then you will not go to the beach <\/i><\/p>\n You are spoiling the day <\/i><\/p>\n I am serious you will not sit on the beach and have people admire you and your wonderful colours <\/i><\/p>\n The Little Blue Glass Pyramid was reading the bus timetable<\/p>\n Are you finished?<\/i><\/p>\n I was waiting for you <\/i><\/p>\n Before we go to the beach and don\u2019t moan about it I am going to pop into The Magic Rainbow Sparkling Rock Shop <\/i><\/p>\n Why <\/i><\/p>\n To look around <\/i><\/p>\n I always visit The Magic Rainbow Sparkling Rock Shop when we are in Clacton <\/i><\/p>\n I do not remember going into that silly shop <\/i><\/p>\n We come all this way and all you do is waste time in sweaty shops \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n The Magic Rainbow Sparkling Rock Shop is not a silly shop <\/i><\/p>\n I just want to sit on the beach and be admired <\/i><\/p>\n Then behave yourself <\/i><\/p>\n Muriel and The Little Blue Glass Pyramid walked along the coastal path towards the new development where The Magic Rainbow Sparkling Rock Shop was now located<\/p>\n They entered through the automatic doors<\/p>\n Now just stay here and do not move and try not to look so bored <\/i><\/p>\n And whatever you do never progress into the store <\/i><\/p>\n You remember what happened last time <\/i><\/p>\n You were purchased by a family from Lincoln and spent two weeks in that city before I found you <\/i><\/p>\n Happiest two weeks of my life <\/i><\/p>\n Stop muttering if you want to say something say it\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n I will stay here <\/i><\/p>\n And then we will go to the beach <\/i><\/p>\n Do not stray <\/i><\/p>\n And that is where the day ended<\/p>\n Muriel brought a selection of rock from The Magic Rainbow Sparkling Rock Shop and then as promised The Little Blue Glass Pyramid was allowed to go the beach where he was much admired<\/p>\n He also met The Small Yellow Dot who was appearing for the season at the Summer Theatre<\/p>\n As for the visitors from outer space the initiative by newspaper was ill prepared and the gum used on the badges proved ineffective<\/p>\n Within the day most of the free identify your visitor from outer space badges had become detached<\/p>\n This caused the local police something of a problem as many of the visitors from outer space became disorientated and wandered out of the town and became lost in rural Essex<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Little Blue Glass Pyramid and Muriel go to Clacton It was a very hot summer\u2019s day in Clacton during what had been quite an ordinary summer The Little Blue Glass Pyramid and Muriel had left their lodgings quite early and were walking towards the beach As normal The Little Blue Glass Pyramid was in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3253"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
