Ark


'Mrs Sockett is a prop for Pontypool* front row' was a sentence etched carefully on a desk in a classroom of my secondary school. (*see WC Dixon's recent post.) The infamous 'Mrs S' was a French teacher. And Pontypool RFC probably still need supporters.

And so do I - for the front two rows of seats in my ark. I'm considering filling them with bloggers - top seats though. No props required. Fancy one? See I've decided to install an open air cinema on the top deck (prow?) - so of course there needs to be an audience. After googling around today, I find that the traditional ark as a model looks rather stark (see above) - more like a big boaty version of a Shaker house. I also think eff all the 2 x 2 animals. I'm no good at drawing animals anyway apart from the odd bird and perhaps (giant this time) rabbit - so a cinema it is..

How are you btw? Let me know if you're shy.

Third row, second seat on the right of the aisle, please - unless there's a steep rake and then it'll need to be tenth row back. Thanks. x

I like the middle of the middle please. Unless it's packed, then I like to sit on the aisle cos I always need a wee during a film.

weird you mention shy. i was sitting having a coffee in the mall yesterday and thinking how shy i was.

And Pot there were only supposed to be 2 rows but now there are 3 - so I'll put you the other side of the aisle from Lara...

I read your post when Ifirst got up. for some reason i thought you were building an ark with a cinema screen in it and we were the audience.

shy as in going to new places and interacting with strangers. especially restaurants and cafes and shops. and mostly abroad.

lol I don't think there's enough space in my yard to build one Pot.

Yes I'm like that too...

You mean you're *not* building a new cinematic experience? I thought we were looking at the future I-Ark. D'oh. I was hoping for a bright shiny plaque on the back of my chair and everything... ;0) x
