Yesterday
afternoon I took the plunge! I now have
a new Sony Alpha 77 slowly making its way here to Dorktown from WEX in
Norwich. My sticky, itching fingers are
demanding its early delivery so they can get busy. Sadly WEX uses Parcel Farce so who knows when
it will get here?
The BEEB got
today's weather right then; they forecast rain and that's what we have right
now - and lots of it. I suppose it makes
a change to have some rain, after all we didn't have any yesterday around here. Floods are expected in various area of the UK
yet again but yesterday Midlands Today
had a story of flooding that is not weather related.
A lady living
in a detached house has been fighting ten different organisations because she
has a 30" pool of water under her house.
Part of the problem is that she lives on the border of Worcestershire
and Gloucestershire and each one was blaming the other for the problem. SevenTrent Water also makes the same claim
... and so. Now that the BEEB is
involved SevenTrent is taking much more serious and is looking for somewhere
for the lady to live while they find out what the problem is. Well, it's only taken them seven months to
get to that point!
"NO
ROOM AT THE INN" screams today's Coventry
Telegraph. Basically it's about a
couple who were given one hour to pack and leave a pub in Coventry after they
failed to pay a bill. They only moved
into the place in September, now they are out again with no home and no
jobs. Not sure how I feel about that
really. OK they should have paid the
bill but it seems very harsh to me that Enterprise Inns have resorted to such
strong arm tactics just before Christmas.
On this day
in 1715 James Stuart landed at Peterhead and so started the Jacobite Rebellion
which ultimately failed. Who knows what
the UK would like now if it hadn't!
Today's
photo is simply one of the best girl in this world ...
And for a
funny ...
Two boys
pass the lake as they walk in their local park.
On seeing somebody in difficulty in the water they dive in and help the person to dry land.
The person happens to be David Cameron!!!
He says to the boys "Thank you for your help, you can have anything you want"
The first boy says "I've seen a BMX down the local wiv bloody big boots, orsome it is."
David Cameron says" It's yours son and I hope you have fun riding it."
He turns to the second boy, "What would you like sonny."
He does not hesitate, "A State Funeral".
David Cameron asked, "Why a State funeral , you are to young to think of such things. Would you not
like a bike like your friends so you can go riding around the park together"
To which the boy replies... "When my Dad finds out who I saved................"
