Later today
we're off into town on our scooters together for the first time in what seems
likes months. I know it isn't that long
but it's certainly weeks. Time for a
quick break and mug of coffee before we get ready for the off. so today's offering
will be a short one.
In London
tomorrow is a camera fair called Photographica.
I've tried to get to it for the last couple of years and something has
got in the every time so far. It looks
like the weather will stop me going tomorrow.
According to the BEEB the south east and London is due for rain all day. I've just checked the weather on MSN and they
claim only a 50% chance of rain. That is
good enough for me so I shall be going.
The 'On This
Day' feature in the Dorktown Telegraph
doesn't go back all that far today.
Montreal in Canada was founded on this day in 1642 and 1802 Napoleon was
proclaimed Emperor of France.
Photos can
be seen everywhere. Like this one ...
a
tree stump at Attenborough. I like then
and I've got a few of them over the years.
The Sage has
spoken again ...
According to
a news report, a certain private school was recently faced with a unique
problem. A number of 12-year-old girls
were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their
lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little
lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night
(you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers ... and then there are educators.
