It’s a really nice Sunday morning here in Dorktown. Jan is off to church and I’m sat here at home instead of out taking photos or birding. You might ask why I am ‘wasting’ a nice day like today. My answer is, I can’t be bothered going off anywhere! So now I have to find something to do with the day.
To start off with I have read the Sunday Express. Why that one? Well, last year I went to Birdfair at Rutland Water and bought a copy of Stuart Winter’s Tale so a Tabloid Twitcher witch I read and enjoyed. Mr Winter is the environmental editor of the SE and he writes a column every week called Birdman. It’s a good read too so that’s why I have the paper delivered. Besides, the whole paper is a worthwhile buy in my opinion anyway and it’s the only national paper we have.
My mate in Sale has finished proof reading House of Pain for me and sent it back. I can rely on Bill being brutally honest with his proofing, that’s why I asked him to do it for me. So I’ve downloaded that ready for me to start making the changes. But before that another friend went through The Mission for me and I have to finish correcting that before I start on the second one again.
So you see? The day won’t be wasted will it. It will be profitable filled with things that need doing.
The Rochdale Sage has sent me another one ...
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the
Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a
little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties.
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a
tie? They are only $5."
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie! I
need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do not
want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am
bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for
about two miles, you
will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom."
Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill.
Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead & said:
"Your f***ing brother won't let me in without a tie!"
