Today’s good thing came from high up and was called The Sun.
After the good thing of the sun came a visit to my studio from Lenny and his mum, Laura, Lenny’s dad, Daniel and their friend David McDade.
Daniel had drunk a pint or two in a country pub somewhere and began to babble about cords running under the sea.
These cords carried our internet all over the world, apparently.
However, there was a thorn in the side of this this system of undersea cording.
And that was THE SHIPS’ ANCHOR.
If a ship drops anchor and the dropped anchor lands on a cord, a beep beep beep signal is sent to a special office where some special diagnostic men find the source of the beep.
Then, having identified where the ship is that has dropped anchor on the under sea internet carrying cord, the diagnostic men phone the ships captain.
'Oi, son,' they say, according to Daniel, 'you've, like, dropped your anchor on our cord.'
Once the anchor has been removed from the cord, scuba diving robots go down and get the ends of the severed cord and bring it to the surface, stick them back together again, then put them back.
These cords, actually cables really, are laid down by ship and then stapled to the sea bed.
This is all TOTALLY true!
