Must have kitteh!

No matter what students bring to future "show and tells" at Orchard Junior School in the Southampton area of England, they will never be able to top this year's spectacle that shut down and evacuated the school.
One bonkers little tyke brought in a bit of vintage "unexploded ordinance" to show his mates.
The school quickly evacuated all the students, called the police, and texted the parents:
Schools are being closed & evacuated - please collect your child from Noadswood field ASAP.
Imagine getting that little note in the middle of the school day.
Laura Holloway, a mother of one of the students was at work at the time. She said,
It was so worrying. Another parent had called saying there were police everywhere. I knew my youngest would have been so scared.
But, she added:
Both schools seemed to deal with it all very well and had the kids lined up and checked off - it must have been very upsetting for everyone involved.
Once the students were out, the police showed up and sent in the bomb squad.
The police's full statement said: ‘We were called at about 1.30pm to a report that a child had brought what may have been a potentially unexploded ordnance to Orchard Junior School.
‘The school was calmly evacuated and a disposal team attended to take the item away to be destroyed as a precaution.'
Not an easy task by any means.
The real question everyone wants to know is "What kind of ‘historic incendiary device' are we talking about here?"
This is England after all. They've been blowing stuff up and getting blown up for centuries.
It could've been anything from a 16th-century mortar to a WWII hand grenade to that morning's beans on toast.
Must have kitteh!

My streak fell apart with my last attempt. 1 run today gives me 16 for the Over.

Good morning. Happy Monday!
I iz freezed with feer!
We had a pretty wet Saturday but it dried out enough yesterday that I could mow half the lawn. It’s sunny this morning so I’ll get to the other half today. Mrs. ArGee is concerned I won’t make it to the gym. After spending yesterday morning scrubbing the north side of the house I don’t think I need my arm or back workouts today. Ugh!
I think those Wordle people were especially mean today. Still, I managed to get 3 runs to start the Over.

Good morning. Cloudy and chilly here. We had about 1/2” of rain on Saturday night. Supposed to clear up later and be in the low 70s.
I was warm for a couple of days, at least. Every time I think about putting up my 30-degree sleeping bag, my mind gets changed!
Mrs. ArGee has to keep reminding me it’s still April.
Of course, when I was growing up we were checking the temperature of the water in the pool in April to see if we could stand to go swimming.
LOL!
Ick.
Monday... rainy Monday. Weekend went far too fast.
Back from a client site... done with my afternoon Teams meeting with a different client...

I suspect that it will be warming up all around the country as Summer approaches... enjoy the cooler weather while you still have it!
🤣
The weekends tend to always go too fast... Sounds like the work day is almost complete...
Meant to say, that was a darn tricky one today...
