Are Potholes Mini Sinkholes?


The question is, “Are potholes mini sinkholes?”

These mysterious holes some big some small, are appearing more and more on our streets and roads.

They cause motorists great anguish when trying to avoid hitting them, as they can cause a puncture or more serious damage to the undercarriage of a car.

So, what’s happening?

It’s claimed that potholes are caused by a structural failure in the road surface, and as water erodes the underlying soil structure and with traffic passing over the affected area it begins to break up, leaving a hole in the ground.

The definition of a sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground.

So, with this in mind I’d exclaim that a pothole is the same as a sinkhole especially as both end up with a hole in the ground.

But hey, I’m no expert.

However, there’s one thing that fascinates me about potholes and sinkholes.

And that’s where the earth that was originally in the hole, goes to.  Do you know?

What do you think?

How To Catch A Dragon


I read the children’s book called, ‘How to catch a dragon.’

This children’s book was written by Caryl Hart and illustrated by Ed Eaves.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little boy called Albie who needs to draw a dragon for his homework.

But Albie’s having a problem drawing a dragon as he’s never ever seen one before.

When his mum takes Albie to the library, he’s excited to see that it looks like a castle.

Inside he meets a knight where their imagination takes them on an adventure that leads to dragons.

Now Albie can draw a dragon and finish his homework on time. Yippee!

This is a wonderful book that opens young minds to imagination through play and reading books.

A lovely book for young children that encourages reading and going to the library.

So, why not go take a visit to the library, you never know you too might meet a dragon or even a Wizard!

Or you could just read the book or watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?

Are Alien spacecrafts Camouflaged?


The question is, “Are alien spacecrafts camouflaged?”

Have you ever heard an unusual sound or noise coming from the sky no matter what time, day or night?

If yes, you’re not alone.

There are many of us that have experienced this, including myself.

When strange noises are heard in the sky we try to find the answer but when nothings found it puzzles us more.

But is it our eyes that are deceiving us from what’s really hidden above our heads?

I recently watched a video clip of a machine in the sky that was hidden within a cloud. It was transparent until it started moving silently away, then just for a second it was captured by camera.

My concern is that if one was detected, then there must be others also secretly touring our skies.

It’s a scary thought that something could be lying in wait watching and hiding from view undetected from human eyes.

I just hope that they’re allies.

What do you think?

Blue Hat Green Hat


I read the children’s book called, ‘Blue Hat Green Hat.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Sandra Boynton.

It’s a great children’s picture book about different colours.

This picture book uses animals in different coloured garments for children to learn four basic colours; blue, red, yellow and green.

It also gives children the opportunity to identify the different garments and different types of animals, as well as the associated words.

I’d recommend this book for young children as a teaching aid, especially as it teaches colours on different clothing and on different animals but also by using word association and repetition.

This is a wonderful children’s picture book. It’s educational as it encourages reading.

Why not read the book or watch the story on YouTube then you can tell me what you think?

Is There A UFO Base Under The Ocean?


The question is, “Is there an alien base under the ocean?"

I read an article that claimed a UFO was witnessed rising from the Gulf of Mexico before speeding into the sky.

I’d heard previous reports of sphere shaped objects flying down into rivers and oceans before, so this appears to be nothing new.

So, why are these UFO’s submerging below the waves?

Could it be to prevent overheating of their vessel.

Or could there be a secret base beneath the water that we don’t know about?

But hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Wake Up Do Lydia Lou


I read the children’s book called, ‘Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Karen George.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little girl called Lydia Lou.

When Lydia Lou goes to sleep nothing can wake her, not even a ghost.

So, when the ghost finds that it cannot wake Lydia Lou from her deep sleep he fetches some help.

He brings a kitten, a cow, an owl, a baby, a cockerel, to try and wake her, but nothing works.

Then a feather flies into the air tickling all of their noses and they all let out a huge sneeze.

Will this wake Lydia Lou or will she continue sleeping?

To find out what happened next, you’ll either have to read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?
