Professional cushion plumper

Mr Gerald — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 12:36:19 +0000

I wondered if it would be possible to get a job doing this.

I’ve got a lot of experience sitting on cushions and I know just how they are meant to be.

I could also do pillows! I wonder who would be in need of this service and whether they’d need cushions plumping just before sitting down or at intervals if they are sitting for prolonged periods?

It could really help them feel much more comfortable, I think this would be very important.

I wonder how many other types of these jobs there are out there.

What service do you think you could provide and who would it be for?

Flavoured fashions!

Mr Gerald — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 12:50:08 +0000

We were wondering what Herb’s waistcoat might taste like, if it had a flavour

I thought of several things that my bow tie might taste of!

Research results of conducting items

Mr Gerald — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 09:32:16 +0000

I am ready for next years Proms! I think I am still at the beginning of my research as I’m certain there more objects you could use to conduct with. But just to begin here is what I’ve found……

Conducting result!

Mr Gerald — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 09:28:55 +0000

I think I have found a way to conduct! I’m not sure using a pencil is very traditional but I’m certain at some point during Beethoven’s or Mozart’s career they must have found they’d put down their baton and had to quickly improvise with some thing else! In fact, I bet there’s a hole load of things just around the house that you could use to conduct with……

Conducting for the proms

Mr Gerald — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 09:25:46 +0000

Herb has started practising conducting for the Proms, just in case they should need him one day. I’m not sure if I would find it so easy to conduct, and I would have to find something to conduct with, I shall so some practising whilst we watch and listen

Hide and Seek

Mr Gerald — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 09:16:51 +0000

We started on a game of hide and seek today, because we are all different shapes, heights and sizes we needed to find the right places. I am very excited to see just how many hiding places there are in the living room, I shall have to put a day aside to research some time

An unusual forecast

Mr Gerald — Sun, 26 Mar 2017 17:34:54 +0000

I was wondering what it’d be like to do the weather forecast. I don’t know much about the weather so I thought I’d need to change it a bit, until I know more on the subject. No need for an umbrella!

Launch day!

Mr Gerald — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 18:34:11 +0000

It is the day of the book launch, it’s been very exciting indeed and that is even without the nibbles. We went to the House of Illustration where we took over a room with 24meters of bunting!

There were also lots of bow ties and other fun things to look at and of course there was tea and cake. Caroline and her helpers were busy pinning things up and placing things around, I tried to keep myself out the way so I sat on top of the postbox which was very comfortable. I managed to help put the bunting up, saying when it was straight and telling everyone what a nice job they were doing.

I most enjoyed the tea and cake, because the cake was from Betty’s and that is always a treat. Also, whilst I ate and drank I got to chat with lots of interesting people, some of whom wanted me to sign their book, that was brilliant! I’ve never signed books before and it was really brilliant!

I’ve never had a book made before and although it was lots of work I think it will really help to get people and creatures thinking about ‘can you can’t do something?’ and encourage them to have a go at something in a different way or maybe they’ve never tried. Who knows, we may see penguins ice skating on the moon before too long!

Recording

Mr Gerald — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:18:38 +0000

I’ve been recording the audio version for the book, it was great fun I quite liked wearing the headphones. I had to say what I had for breakfast so they could get the volume right for my voice. I had only had one piece of toast so I thought I better say a bit more and started imagining magical toast that was a different flavour with each bite!

It went very well but I got a bit suck trying to say the word ‘effortometer’, I’d only written it down before now and I’d never tried to say it out loud, it turned out to be quite difficult, I got there in the end though.
