Hey peeps out in Blogland, we are Samson and Delilah puppies wot live on the exotic island of Corfu. Hope you are keeping well? We is doin’ fine but not sure ‘bout the hoomans!
Hairy-planes. We don’t get it. Bertie sez that wen he and Algy wos little they lived near Corfu town an’ every few minutes Hairy-planes would fly over making fierce roaring noises an’ people looking out the windows to the ground down below. Wot is that about? How can people fly over? It don’t make no sense. Bertie sez he finks hundreds of peeps fly in Hairy-planes but we can’t see how. Hoomans don’t have no wings or beaks or claws. So we don’t get it. We asked if the Hairy-plane wos as big as the big buzzard that tried to eat Samson in the garden and he screamed an’ hid under a wheelbarrow. Bertie sez a Hairy-plane is 1,000 times bigger than that, maybe even more. It doesn’t have feathers an’ it is made from thin metal and all the hoomans sit in it together. We fink that is weird. Even more weird is this. About 3 times a day The Missus says “I hear an aeroplane” an’ the Boss sez he can’t hear nuffink. They rush outdoors to see if they can see it. We ask you what is that about?? Then sometimes they see a tiny little silver dart going across the sky an get all excited. Bertie sez wen he was small he soon realised these silver darts were Hairy-planes and used to bark at them even when they were very high in the sky. But he don’t bovver now as he’s too grown up. Humphh. Even if the Missus can’t see a silver dart she rushes in an goes on the ‘puter and shouts out “got it! Fedex Dubai to Paris” or “Skyexpress Corfu to Athens” or like the uvva day there was an Italian Police plane going round an’ round in circles. Enyway they both gets very excited about seeing a plane. Why??? Bertie sez there used to be Hairy-planes flying over our little house almost every minute of the day and now hoomans aren’t ‘llowed out, there are no Hairy-planes ‘llowed neiver, so he finks the Missus is going crazy to see if there is anyone alive enymore. The Missus sez she finks they are very brave to keep flying medicines and fings like that to keep people alive. P’raps she’s right. We is only small so don’t know nuffink. Anuvva fing. The Boss spends hours on the ‘puter looking at Mosquitos. Now we is understandin’ wot those are. Nasty biting insects that can give us diseases. But not this sort. This Mosquito is anuvva Hairy-plane wot is made of wood (what??) and flies and fires guns at people. Wot is that about? He also likes Sptifires wot he say’s is a beautfiul Hairy-plane. We don’t know wot is a Sptifire but it sounds nasty. It has an engine called a Merlin an they had a dog called Merlin. Wot is that about? We sees when it starts up it makes a horrible noise spitting fire and smoke an eventually it gets going. Really scary. The Boss sez his Mummy an’ Daddy used to build Spitfires in the war. Wot is war? He says his Mummy an’ Daddy were Spitfire Sweethearts as they fell in love when they wos building Sptifires and wen his Mum an Dad got married her sista, his Aunty, got married to anuvva person on the same day. It woz called The Spitfire Wedding. They is now history as peeps go to visits their grave to remember wot they did at a difficult time wen no one knew if they would live to the next day. That seems to be wot’s going on in the hooman world right now too. So maybe Hairy -planes is 'portant to hoomans. That's why they need to see them, even though it is weird.
