FRIDAY`S BITS`N`PIECES

  

Hello all you lovely journal people.....

At last...it`s here..... rain, very heavy, pouring rain,  Oh joy!  I could jump up and down with sheer delight, but I won`t as I`m typing this entry out...lol!  It started with a crashing of thunder, just as the school opposite was closing for the weekend.  The funniest thing happened too.  I was watching from the window as the heavens opened, and a huge cheer went up from the children and their mothers, just happy to be out and getting soaked.  I`ve never heard anyone cheer because it`s raining before and it really made me smile.

Last night Jim discovered that the dishwasher was working again.  All he did was press the start button and it did just that.  I`m really pleased and will be re-insuring it on Monday without fail.  I don`t know why it wouldn`t work and I don`t care, I`m just thankful to the powers that be that it is now working again.

This morning Jim and I went shopping, we were finishing off our holiday shopping.  Since he has lost weight, his clothes are much too big, and as he has no intention of putting it back on, he has bought nearly a whole new wardrobe.  He doesn`t usually spend much on himself but he didn`t really have a choice, he`s lost 28lbs/2 stone since Christmas just by changing his eating habits, not dieting.  He`s still losing weight slowly but he isn`t far from his target weight now.  All I bought were a couple of pairs of sandals , just very cheap ones, and a nicer pair for the evenings.  While we were in the town`s piazza we watched a couple of men playing pan pipes, they were South American Indians, and their music was lovely to listen to, very soothing.  I could have stayed longer just listening to them playing but Jim had to get home and get ready for work, he won`t get home till 11pm. He`s hoping he can get away at 9.30 though.

  Right.....As to Jim`s fishing day, I`d love to be able to tell you that he had a very productive day out...But I can`t because he didn`t.  Even at Lizard lake with it`s oxygenator, or whatever they call it, he only caughtfour fish all day.  The bailiff there was saying that the lack of rain is affecting all the lakes at the moment and the poor fish just aren`t interested in playing the angler`s game.  You know, the more I look at the fisherman graphic, the more I think it looks like Jim !

What do you think of the evil cat graphic....scary or what?!  That looks to me the kind of cat you always call "Sir", you never let the dog chase or it will soon chase it back.  As for giving it the cheapest brand of catfood, forget it, only fresh salmon or kingprawns will do.  What name would you give a cat like this ?

Well that`s it for Friday.  I`m going to finish this off and go downstairs and put something in the oven. I actually feel hungry now that its cooler.  I wonder what I`ll have ...decisions, decisions!  Anyway Journal friends, I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend.  Bye for now and take care 

BLONDE ON BLONDES

~~   There were two blondes walking in the woods.  As they were walking one of them noticed some tracks on the ground.   One stops the other and says  " Look deer tracks."  The other says,  " Those are not deer tracks, they are bear tracks."  So they fight about what they are or are not, and the next day the newspaper headlines read  " Two blondes killed by train".  ~~

 

~~   A blonde, brunette and a redhead are running from the cops, they hide on a potato farm and they crawl into some potato sacks.  The first cop pokes the sack with the brunette in , she says "meow"  and the cop confirms it is just a cat.  The second cop pokes the sack with the redhead in ,  she says "woof" and the cop confirms it`s a dog.  The third cop pokes the sack with the blonde in and she says in her sweetest voice "Potato".  ~~
