on, I got dressed in the bathroom with the heater on.
Monday
now and the start of the last week of school for term two, feels like
they only just went back to school.
Anyway
here are this weeks facts that you may or may not know.
There
are more than 14,000 types of rice
Cornish
pasties were the staple diet of Cornish miners about 150 years ago,
the pasty was marked with the owner's initials at one end. The hungry
man would start eating from the other end ,in case he couldn't eat it
all,it still held his mark and he could finish it later.
The
most difficult tongue twister is “the sixth sick Sheik's sixth
sheep's sick” I can't say it
The
oldest piece of chewing gum is over 9,000years old........what the
hell
Norway
is called “the land of the midnight sun” because in the north,
the Sun does not set from May until the end of July
The oldest piece of chewing gum is over 9,000years old........what the hell????
ReplyDeleteSo your schools did not close with the Covid virus?
Good ones Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteLoved that tongue twister.
Hi Jo-Anne ... Norway is beautiful ... while 14,000 types of rice seems a little excessive ... chewing gum that's that old takes some believing ... but can believe they knew about it. Take care - Hilary
ReplyDelete14,000 types of rice, and the only kind I eat has 3 elves on it...
ReplyDeleteI can't say that tongue twister. My mom's favorite was "I slit a sheet. A sheet I slit. Upon the slitted sheet I sit." When she said it she always recalled her mother's inability to say the "sit" at the end. She couldn't help replacing it with a profanity.
