Dorktown in the sun, I'm off beer and a shared meal



7 April 2013

Sunday and it's bright and sunny again in Dorktown.  However, I won't be going out today seeing as I have to get things ready for my trip to Bonnie Scotland early tomorrow.  So my friends, this will be the last blog entry until next Sunday at least.

I did actually go out yesterday and managed to get ten new real ale pump signs.  I also had two pints of ale, one from Serbia and an English brewed ale.  By the time I got nearly 2/3 of the second pint I found I was feeling very full, as if I had pigged out on something.  I left the Willy White at that point and went home.  It's sad to admit that I am just not enjoying the ales as I used to.  Time to quit I think.

This going to be a short entry today seeing as I have so much to do ready for tomorrow; so here's one of the many crocuses we have on the lawn out back ...

Funny time ...

The sharing of marriage...
The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.  He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.  He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'
She answered --

(This bit is great)

'THE TEETH.'
