I'm back
folks - just, but here. After Saturday
at Newport Wetlands I got home absolutely shattered. Yesterday morning I got up but really didn't
feel like going to Birdfair. Jan talked
me into going saying that if I didn't I'd be kicking myself for not going. Well, I did go and it was an OK day, nothing
special but OK. I got a book I was
looking for mind, Birds Britannia,
looking forward to reading that after seeing the telly series based on it. I got home shattered. This morning I felt a lot better after a good
night's sleep.
On the way
home on Saturday we called into Gloucester for a look around. We were pretty well under whelmed by the
place. Somewhere we will not be rushing
back to! Newport Wetlands was pretty
good even with the tide being far
out. There were a lot of smaller waders
right out at the water's edge but it was just too far to see what they
were. Well worth a second visit later -
but I shall make of the tide times for that visit.
We had mail
waiting for us when we got back of course.
A card to say that the posty had tried to deliver a package and we would
need to collect it from the sorting office in town. We also had a letter from the estate agents
saying that the sale was still going on with a completion date of 1 October at
the latest. The sooner the better for
us; we just want it over and done with!
Photos were
taken on both days over the weekend but I've done nothing with them yet. So here one of Jan meeting Bill Oddie a good
few years ago at Birdfair.
Here's a
nutty funny ...
One evening
a man was at home watching TV and eating peanuts. He'd toss one in the air, then
catch it in his mouth. In the middle of
catching one, his wife asked a question, and as he turned to answer her, the peanut fell into his ear.
He tried and tried to dig it out but succeeded only in pushing it in deeper. His
wife tried to help, but after hours of trying they became worried and decided to go to the hospital. As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home with her date. After being informed of the problem, their daughter's date said he could get the peanut out.
The young man told the father to sit down, then shoved two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blow hard. When the father blew, the peanut flew out.
The mother and daughter jumped and yelled for joy. The young man insisted that it was nothing and the daughter brought the young man out to the kitchen for something to eat.
Once he was gone the mother turned to the father and said, "That's wonderful - isn't he smart? What do you think he's going to be when he grows older?" The father replied, "From the smell of his fingers, our son-in-law!"
