"On 14th March 1876, on this hallowed ground, did the erstwhile Esther Montgomery establish this institution with a view towards strengthening women's community members so as to better win the rights of suffrage which we all enjoy to this day."

The speaker was a small, thin, man; a reverend from his dog collar and his introduction. Why he'd chosen women's suffrage as the focus of his speech was lost on Kirsty, as was the insistence that all the schoolgirls be herded out of the warm classrooms to sit on the field for an hour long bore.

Kirsty thrust her hands deeper into her shirt sleeves, gripping her elbows and bowing her head against the weak morning sun; which washed all before it in thin rays which seemed to do nothing more than emphasise the chilly breeze that scampered across the playing field. Peeking to the right down the line of children sat in front of the small, humbly erected, stage, she watched her classmates attend similar poses of bored attention. None of them looked as cold as she did. They never did. Kirsty wrinkled her nose and farted into the cold earth beneath her.

"...and the traditions which have allowed this community to flourish. Now as we look forward to the new challenges that come before us, we do well to remember those that have toiled before us; that we all stand atop the shoulders of giants who lift us up so that we may do more."

A bead of sweat trickled from Kirsty's shoulder and slid down into her armpit. Removing her arms from her sleeves she easily turned her attention from the speech to the blades of grass which sprung up in the midst of her folded legs. Reaching down and plucking a blade, she would then shred it across her fingernail. Then she'd shred it again and again and again until it was all gone.

No longer hearing the Reverend's words, she listened to its tone: a pealing note which noted a distinct sentence or two, then a rise to some point or statement followed by an inevitable slump. Then the distinct drone started up again. Over and over it went until Kirsty heard a more urgent drone, a more massive drone, and instinctively raised her eyes to the skies. A plane was passing over and threatened to drown out all attempts at oration. Kirsty had been on a plane once when her family went to Malta. It was hot in Malta and she'd enjoyed the beach, but she'd missed being able to watch her favourite TV programmes.

"...as Christ sacrificed himself for us. It is his rebirth that lends us hope, that we are invited to remember in this season of renewal. For when Jesus returned to his disciples they did not recognise him at first until he broke bread."

Suddenly darkness was everywhere and the breath of the wind seemed to chill the very blood in Kirsty's veins. She imagined ice crystals forming on her skin and shattering to cover her in broken glass and tear her up like when her little brother had run through the patio door and cut his head to ribbons. She shivered.

The cold, the drone of the Reverend and the forced sitting conspired to birth a yearning to leap up and sprint across the field. Lunchtime would be soon and Kirsty would be able to join Jane and Lisa at Their Place on the field which was just by a bricked up drainage outlet in the far corner. They called it The Balcony and would run over to it as soon as they were outside. Not because there was any hurry; they had time and there were plenty of Places for everybody, but because it always seemed so far away. Running seemed the only way to make the journey seem bearable, to make the distance seem reasonable.

"All rise!"

Kirsty's eyes snapped up and she struggled to her feet. The monotonous drone had been replaced with the sharp command of the head of year, the dreaded Mrs Coxley, who glared at the children and ordered the first line to start ambling back towards the classrooms. Just then the cloud passed on its way and the sun seemed to be re-invigorated; its rays feeling suddenly warm and soporific on Kirsty as they embraced her. She stretched her arms and walked forwards as the girl in front of her started their slow trek back to the school.

I do wonder sometimes why I have spent so many years deliberatly winding up Id and Icarus. Is it because they both have I's in their usernames which prompts me to do what I do or is it because they are both Scottish?

I lie awake some nights wondering about that. Well, I don't really but I could.

Anyway, they are cracking blokes really. Particularly if you need to build something or run a fantasy football league.

It was mediocre until this point:

>>No longer hearing the Reverend's words, she listened to its tone: a pealing note which noted a distinct sentence or two, then a rise to some point or statement followed by an inevitable slump. Then the distinct drone started up again. Over and over it went until Kirsty heard a more urgent drone, a more massive drone, and instinctively raised her eyes to the skies.

Reading this paragraph was like watching Steve Martin attempt to play Inspector Clouseau. The raw materials had potential, but the delivery was mangled by a mixture of ego, lack of finesse, and your inability to get into either the situation or your character's head.

Rewrite. Substitute generalizations for critical detail ("show" don't "tell"), flesh out your characters, consider efficiency in your wording, and try to remember that the world doesn't know who Berty is and doesn't give two shits for his authorial voice.

Breakfast cereals do require rituals.
Weetabix actually demand that you drown them in milk, wait till they absorb it all, mush them up, and then drain the milk back out of them by pressing into them with the back of your spoon so that the milk collects in the bowl of the spoon. This is then eaten like soup. The now desiccated Weetabix is to be coated in sugar and given a good mix before consuming.
Who has time for that?

Coco Pops are best eaten out of a big tea cup. This makes drinking the chocolaty milk an easier and more sophisticated experience.

Good post, Berty. I especially enjoyed the bit where the ants stole the cakes.

This was me in class today, however I am nearly 25 not ten..... we have this stupid lecturer who does not shut up. I spend the whole class thinking of ways to interrupt, but don't because I don't want to be murdered by my classmates after. So instead I do homework, dream and make noises with my nails on the desk. I'm not learning anything and it is such a waste of my time.

Well, in fairness, whilst it is a good post (a lot better than my last one) it isn't THAT good.

Then again capturing the essence of spring, that whole 'waiting for something awesome' vibe along with all the rest of it is difficult and I did do it quite well. So I suppose this could be considered one of the greatest literary works of the early 21st century, but perhaps it will have to be content with 3rd fiddle.

I mean, I still have to turn 24 first, but 25 is certainly on the horizon. Don't worry Pheeley, you are ageless. Besides, girls my age are invariably rubbish at sex.

Look on the bright side Flash; you'll be able to eat Ricicles for breakfast AND lunch. Nobody will be able to tell you you can't.

The secret to edible shreddies is to microwave a half pint of milk untill it is warm, just when the skin is emerging on the top, and carefully pour the milk into the edge of the bowl wetting as few of the tops of the shreddies as possible.

Then you take the spoon and press the shreddies down with the underside of the spoon into the milk so that they all become moist but not drenched. Sprinkle (nay pour) sugar on top of the shreddies so that all the shreddies have a perfect glazed coating of sugar. Now you may eat.

The same thing works for Rice Crispies but does not require the milk to be nuked first.

Ugh, berty. I like salty porridge I do not care for sugary cereal, the idea turns my stomach.
the smell of cocoa pops is enough to make me wretch.

Why do men over the age of 25 always eat kids cereal?

I thought it was very British to spread marmite on it first.
One is assuming that is marmite FJ.
Does it not sting?
How come you have not replied regarding the body shot I sent you?

I have just consumed a bowl of shreddies, the kids begged me for them the other day and my big box of porridge is finally empty.
Well, I may as well have eaten a dish of stamp sized pieces of cardboard.
What the hell was that?
Knitted by grannies my bum.
FJ stop mailing me knob pictures it is far too early.
