Good morning my reader

It's raining here so apart from the combine igniting I don't suppose we will get a lot done here today.
I found a couple of bits in today's paper First my Horoscope.

23 July - 22 August
"Someone close to you will brush your arm today in a way that will make you think that you're "in there". However, what you may not see is that they have a cold and have just passed it your way via a wet hand."
That sounds promising,don't it.

Then we have a story about "Heroes"

"Collins, the makers of the famous Oxford English Dictionary, have announced that the word 'hero' is set to be given a wider definition in the next edition. The change has been in response to BBC Coverage of the Olympic Games.

'Yeah sure there are people risking their lives for others on an almost daily basis, but can they cycle round in circles? Can they row a boat? Those are what the media call real heroes and our book should reflect that.' said Collins spokesman Herbert Rogers.

The BBC is delighted their hyperbole has officially mangled the English language. 'In some ways, we are heroes too' said Quentin D'Auberville, head of BBC news ' In some ways anyone who comes back from a foreign country on a plane is now a hero. Except obviously Gary Glitter."

That's it. Off to prepare for a liquid lunch.

Byeeee

Here are just a few examples of the expensive equipment use to bring you your Weetabix. I'm a tad knackered now but should have a day off tomorrow! The combine caught fire Ooops!!!

I did pick the right time to start blogging again! Right in the middle of harvest. I started at 8am and have literally just finished. Not good for a geriatric but it will pay for me hols. I think this will be the last time, it's no fun being weary all the time. Never mind, if the weather holds we should be done in a week.

Meanwhile ... Finish me cuppa and off to bed

I love this picture.... Click on it ..... Select full size then click again. Tell me if you have ever seen anything as beautiful?

Is fair of face but probably not as fair as these picture taken by my daughter earlier this year on Rhodes.

It's a beautiful morning out there, for a change. Not that I have poked me 'ed out of the nest of course but it looks ok.

Today I expect we will be combine haaaarvestin', so a loooong day looms. I can't say the thought fills the heart with glee but the cash does help out the old pension somewhat. so far we are two weeks behind! I do hope the weather holds because I'm off on me hols come Sept 15th. We are going on safari to woolly Wales to take a few pictures.

That's about it for now

Can I have some Irish Sausages, please?' asked the Irishman, walking up to the counter.
The assistant looked at him and asked: 'Are you Irish?'
'If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?' demanded the Irishman indignantly.
'Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?'
Then, warming to his theme, he went on: 'Or if I asked you for a Kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish?'
'Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? ! Would Ya? Would Ya?'
The assistant said: 'Well, no.'
Suitably encouraged by the success of his logic, the Irishman steps it up a gear.
'And if I asked you for frogs legs, would you ask me if I was French?'
'What about Danish Bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?'
'Well no, I probably wouldn't' conceded the assistant.
So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says: 'Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Irish just because I asked for Irish sausages?'
The assistant replied: 'Because you're in f***ing Homebase' ....

I managed to post one of me piccies in the Photography Group blog. It only took an hour

Hello me ducks.

I thought I might start blogging again, after a rather horrendous year. That is of course if I can remember how everything works? I get older but not necessarily wiser.

Watch this space for a load of old rubbish

Cheers
