Now that was
a rather nice surprise! There I was sat
sitting at the end of BBC Midlands News when I noticed a largish bird fly past
the window. A quick look at the side
fence and I found a juvenile peregrine falcon.
It left us as quickly as it arrived so sadly no photo; but a nice spot
anyway.
Three TV
shows I've always loved are Morse, Frost
and Deizial (sorry about the poor
spelling here). Anyway, on my wish list
for the future was a story line that brought all three of the teams together. Now of course it can't happen can it. But perhaps there might be a glimmer of
hope. The latest issue of Writing Magazine carries a piece of
teams of two writers coming together to write a story with their key detectives
in it. The idea of Rebus meeting up with
Roy Grace certainly sounds like a good idea to me. I shall look forward to getting a copy when
it's published.
Some time
ago I mentioned the spat the council is having with the local Riding for the
Disabled here in Dorktown. For some time
the council has been reluctant to say what it's all about - until today that
is! The whole issue revolves around
whether the centre is a charity or a commercial business. As a charity the centre leases the council
owner land for just £25 per year which makes the council a major supporter of
the centre. Yet the RDA (Riding for
Disabled Association), has withdrawn its membership of the local centre last
year because of concerns over what is happening there. Now here's the problem ...
The original
lease was for 21 years and is now up for renewal. However, the council can only deal with the original
trustees. The fact that the Ingleby
Foundation is now involved and that names have been added to the Charity
Commission website doesn't matter in the least.
The first trustees are still in place and they are the one that need to
be dealt with. And those two men agree that
questions should be asked about whether the centre is still a charity or a
commercial concern. Until that is
sorted, nothing can or will be done on this issue. T'ther side of the argument helps doesn't it?
So now for a
photo ... a shot looking inland from Barmouth harbour.
And a funny
...
A man got on the bus with both of his
front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful (you
guessed it) blonde.
The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls."
The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said.
After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"
