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.
Good Morning!
Incredible eyes!
Mrs. zz said that according to a longer range guess that she looks at, we may lose the triple digits by the end of August... 🤞🏻

Good morning. Happy Twosday!
The screen repair shop that told me it was going to be 2 weeks got the screens done already. So now I need to figure out when to get them back in the windows. As the late ‘Face used to say, if it’s not one darn thing it’s two darn things.
Did OK at Wordle today.

New (to me) Honda acquired. I bit of driving around to get it, but it has been added to the stable.
Going to need a bigger garage at this rate.

The operative word being need. You need that garage.
Congratulations!
Busy day with my granddaughter. I’m taking care of her Monday and Wednesday afternoons, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so Sally can go back to school full time.
Hopefully everyone’s class schedules will settle down soon. James and Frank have both had classes that changed from full term to half term, or first half term to second. Not a big deal for them, but if you’d built your work schedule around the originally published schedule, it would be a nuisance.
The email from James’s instructor said they apologized for any incontinence this would cause the students.
Nailed it!
That could be brutal!
👍🏻
Hopefully she will be good to you!

Thank You !!!
Good Midweek Morning!

Happy to get all the shopping done yesterday without melting into the pavement... it was certainly a warm one out there...

I know. James said his bowels were fine, thanks.
“We apologize for any inconvenience” rarely cuts it. But what can you do?
That’s never a discussion you want to be having.
Good morning. Happy Humph Day.
Dazn’t touch da mousie!
The day started nice and cool this morning. Mrs. ArGee tries to walk The Princess around 9 so they can get in a good walk without the heat becoming unbearable. It hasn’t been too good a walk lately. Maybe today they can go a little farther.
There weren’t too many choices left after all those useless letters.
