My Big OE, Week 3, Day 4, Part 2

My Big OE

If I had graduated in the 1980's and had a big Overseas Experience, I would likely go to Australia and these are three reasons why:

1. So I can visit Disney World and see how great the rides are.

2.  Look at the many buildings and apartments.


3. Have a trip by the opera house and maybe listen to some music from there.

Hairy Maclary, Week 3, Day 4, Attempt 2.

Hairy Maclary Gets Lost

Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.

He ran down the street, clambered over some rocks and met a friend named Bottomley Potts.

They crawled under a fence and above some large logs, to find another friend called Sally Doggs.

Across a bog they went which was covered in mist, coming to an opening named Barnacles Wrist.

Before they realised that they were lost, another friend came running out in exhaust, saying that they were Jeremy Frost and hoping he stopped them from getting lost.

Panting and barking the friends all did clamber, back towards home with a scamp and a swagger.

Up in the sky, rain clouds were appearing, all of their hopes for a dry coat disappearing.

They started to speed up their scampering pace, suddenly realising that getting home was a difficult race.

So off they went with a loud patter of paws, taking a shortcut through mud and digging in with their claws.

They jumped above small rocks and ducked under fences going past a large group of hedges.

They all ran back along the street, with big soggy coats and big muddy feet.

Then they retreated indoors to their homes and went into their rooms which were all kennel domes.

They barked a goodbye and howled into the night, and went to their beds to sleep a goodnight.

Hairy Maclary, Week 3, Day 4, Attempt 1

Hairy Maclary

Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.

And Hercules Morse as big as a horse, with Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

With tails in the air they trotted on down past the shops and the park the far end of town.

They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door, when suddenly, out of the shadows they saw... SCARFACE CLAW the toughest Tom in town.

"EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!" said Scarface Claw.

Off with a yowl a wail and a howl, a scatter of paws and a clatter of claws, went Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy.

Straight back home to bed.

Ready To Roll, Week 3, Day 3

I think that between Golden Harvest, Ray Columbus And The Invaders and New Zealand Underdogs, this is my personal order from first to third:

#1 Golden Harvest

#2 Ray Columbus And The Invaders

#3 New Zealand Underdogs

The reason I've rated these the way I have is because of how I feel towards the beats blending in with the instruments and singing.

The Beatles, Week 3, Day 2, Part 2

The Beatles Trip To New Zealand

I read about The Beatles' trip and found 3 facts which were very interesting, and these were them:

1. Their first visit in New Zealand was in Wellington.

2. The police had not expected the crowd to be as crazy as it was, so the police had to use dogs to clear large groups from the verandas and other vantage points.

3. Some Teenagers pushed over and damaged 2 police motorcycles and there was so much pushing that one of The Beatles' cars was shunted backwards, with the handbrake on!
