Four friends, who hadn’t seen each other in 30 years, were reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids. Continue reading “Pride in our kids…”
At the risk of…
At the risk of starting another controversy, I cannot resist reporting that the Australian Government has rejected a call from the Muslim Council of Australia for the introduction of ‘a non-extremist version of sharia law.’
In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into a new policy on multiculturalism, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils has urged the government to consider “legal pluralism” for Muslims.

Lush
Lush is one of those words that puts a pout in your mouth. Apparently the photographers ask the models to say ‘lush’ when posing for a photograph. But for me the word equates to now: this marvellous month of May in England.
We have reached that point in Springtime when everything is so lush around the countryside. The hedgerows are green and lanes are lined with Cow Parsley (anthriscus sylvestris) and Ox Eye Daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare) which I think are early this year, among the tall grass seed heads and many other flowers; the honeysuckle is rampant, the elderflower is out, the dog roses are coming out and all the trees are so full leafed, with fresh growth. It is a fantastic time to get out and walk or cycle.

One of our favourite summer drives.
Not too far up the road from us, just the next valley South. If that is open before mid June I’ll be very surprised.
Wouldn’t be too expectant of it opening at all this year the way the weather is still going here.
Nature’s way of getting rid of the stupid.
Anyone got any sympathy with this idiot? I haven’t. Poor family, they must be so embarrassed.
Cotswold Bike Ride 2011
Writing this after a shower while my head’s still swimming with feel-good hormones.
Completed the 40 mile Cotswold Bike Ride today. Rode with two work colleagues, Kath and Sarah and their blokes. All respect to Sarah who was riding a borrowed bike and had done no training whatsoever for the ride but still finished – and her bloke who did the full distance without padded shorts and who suffered consequences which will only become truly evident over the next day or two!
