Sorry for
the delay in writing this but we've been busy today, not doing much but still
busy. Even so, this will be a short blog
today. We were going to go to Slimbridge
tomorrow but my hip is really painful right now and I need to rest it. Slimbridge will have to wait a while.
The Telegraph today had its normal list of
crims seen in court and for once there more British names in it than foreign
ones. The other regular column is the
'On This Day' list. Today's starts with a
Scottish costume called Eve of Michaelmas.
It seems that in the Highlands it was called Crack Nut Day and nuts were
eaten in the churches. It's strange what
we learn or are reminded of perhaps when we read things like this.
One thing we
did do today was go off into town. I was
looking at one of the photo mags the other day and it suggested that instead of
doing fairly wide angle candid shots, to move in closer and get portrait shots. I gave it a go today and it seems to have
worked. I'll get them done tomorrow and
post one then. But for today I offer
this one ...
two flowers in a hanging basket outside the Old Pheasant Inn on
the A47 at Glaston. A nice pub too and
the ale was first class.
And a pretty
good funny ...
A male patient is lying in bed in the
hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse
appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles
from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other. She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely:
Are - my - test - results - back?"
