Norman’s Walk – Feb 2023
I thought I’d give you a break from Norman’s Walk (the story), so I could tell you about Norman’s Walk (the reality). Here’s what we’ve been doing this month.
Firstly, there’s been another statue unveiled in another local park, this is getting embarrassing, it really is.
I’m not sure how to keep his ego in check, he thinks he’s some sort of superhero whose poo comes out pre-bagged.
If only that would really happen.
Before we get started with this month’s adventures, I’m going to really get on your nerves and stick this in your head for the rest of the day.
You’re welcome.
There’s been more strange goings on this month, starting with this character moving into the neighbourhood.
It’s a right pain with that shining in your windows all night, but spare a thought for the house next door.
So terrified he’s put himself up for sale.
Remember Norman found Mick Hucknall’s hair last month, look:
Well, Mick wasn’t happy and he’s been sneaking around and following us everywhere. I can see you, Mick.
And it got even worse mid-month when he actually assaulted Norman and thought it was funny.
Ridiculous. I almost phoned the police but how are you supposed to do that with BT’s new telephone box placements?
Climbing into people’s gardens to make calls is a bit inconvenient. So I shouted at him instead.
I said ‘Hey Mick, are you talking to me or… ??
Never saw him again after that, thankfully.
There’s been a few odd-looking creatures knocking about, look at this one:
The Normwhal (thanks Ange for identifying the creature) – but be careful, can be very silly when approached.
Saw the Mountain Wall Chomper this morning. Bit smaller than his coastal cousin from last month but still a messy eater.
The most unappreciated creature of all is this one – The Bridge Keeper Upper.
You can only just about see it because its camouflage is amazing and you only really get a glimpse when the light is just right.
Spotted a River Vomitter a couple of days ago.
The River Vomiter is very greedy. It eats twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms and makes itself sick. (I’ve really gone deep into the chemistry of this one). Big puking days can cause flooding.
Met a big Kiss fan.
I hate it when the baby ghost-catcher dangles them on fences, unnecessary.
We spent quite a bit of time down on the beach, psssh-ti-coofing around.
If you’re wondering, the telly makes Ivor look a lot smaller.
It was a bit bizarre, but Julia Roberts was buried in the sand. The tide was coming in but she seemed happy enough so I left her
And then The Criffel Dragon reared its head. Norman wasn’t a fan.
Luckily Thunderbird 2 was parked up with a brand new paint job, looked F-A-B. There was a pink Rolls Royce parked nearby, so I left them to it.
On the way back to the car, a couple of Norman’s friends came out to play
I’ll leave you with my House of the Dragon Set Designer application:
And a bit of environmentally friendly advertising.
That’s it once again.
Have a great weekend.
Take care and all the best,
Ian

I wonder how many people a week you make smile with your Skwiggles?
Correction, Norman in NOT a narwhal, my granddaughter will be 4 on 23rd month and I am going to show her and tell her Norman is a Unicorn ? like the cake she has asked for! tempting to get one of those cone shaped party hats ? and put it on Bella (my black lab) and make her a unicorn ? for the day, what do you think ?
Thanks Debra, Norman can definitely be an aquatic unicorn, I think he’d like that. I think Bella would love to be a unicorn for the day. Send me a photo and I’ll show it to Norman. Hope you granddaughter has a great birthday 🙂
Thank you xxx you do know we all love these but it is not selling your t-shirts etc, have you thought of of doing them as tshirts then Norman really would be a star !! X
WE tried that with our Staffie. It did not go well….
Staffies and unicorns, doesn’t sound like it’s a perfect match 🙂
Thank you xxx you do know we all love these but it is not selling your t-shirts etc, have you thought of of doing them as tshirts then Norman really would be a star !! X
Very true, but glad you like them anyway. We have a few prints https://skwiggles.co.uk/product-category/products/normans-walk/ but haven’t gone as far as T-shirts yet. Norman would love it though 🙂
Love the posters and … like the T-shirts spoilt for choice!!
Will deffo be getting a few posters xxx
Thanks Debra 🙂
Oh dear …. Bella on the other hand being a fellow labrador like Norman albeit black is so laid back any more and she would be horizontal!! Having said that she was not impressed last year when neighbours invited us over for her birthday and I tied big ribbon into a beautiful bow last year!!!
Baby ghosts, lol
Quite cruel to hang them up like that, I think 🙂
Thank you for once again giving me a right good laugh ? I love reading about your walks and must admit to having a big crush on Norman ( don’t tell him if you think it’ll go to his beautiful head) ?
Thanks Beverley, glad you enjoyed it. I won’t tell Norman, after the statue his ego’s out of control 🙂 Have a good weekend
Thanks smiled all the way through that. Great reading for a full day long may it continue.
Thanks Pat, glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend 🙂
Awesome! Ivor, Julia Roberts and Thunderbirds on one page, I bet its never been done before! Laughter is the best form of everything and you guarantee many every week, thanks Ian.
Haha, yes can’t imagine that’s been done before, David. It was busy on the beach last week 🙂
