5 July
I wonder what silly, strange or inappropriate signs
and notices you have seen. Things like this …
I make no comment on the honesty
of the firm concerned but such a sign would not fill me with confidence. What
has sparked this thought is my dearest darling Jan and her love of canned salmon.
I bought her two cans on Thursday evening and she opened the first one last
night. Here are two shots of the remaining can …
Who’da thunk it eh; a can of
salmon containing fish!
Keeping the focus on Jan for now … Last night she got
very warm in bed so she got up to get the fan we have in the living room. She
glanced out of the window and saw two hedgehogs out on the lawn. Jan was really
pleased to see them so she went out and put some meals for them. It didn’t take
them long to polish them off. There might not seem anything special in what Jan
saw, but hang on, hedgehog numbers have plummeted over last few years. We
bought a couple of habitats for them and have hidden them out back. Later Jan
got two hedgehogs from the local wildlife rescue place and released. That was
last year some time and early this morning was the first sign we’ve seen of
them since. That’s good news folks.
Today’s Telegraphs
On This Day feature only goes back to 1810 and the birth of a man who went
on to become the world’s greatest showman, Phineas Barnum. But, O wonder if you
know what the first speed limit on British roads was set at. Today we see cars
rushing past us on the motorways doing well above the legal 70mph. However, in
1865 The Locomotives and Highways Act introduced a speed limit of just 4mph. or
just 2mph in towns and cities. Time and speed race on through history don’t
they.
I finally got me photos sorted from Wednesday; out of
102 two shots I got 12 worth using, and most of those were part of my pub
sign/real ale clip things I do. Today’s photo then is …
The one part of
Glastonbury we liked; until we got the end of it and find three steps leading
to the high street – clever eh?
And today’s funny …
A man is
driving down the road, when he passes a farmer standing in the middle of a huge
field. He pulls the car over and watches the farmer doing
absolutely nothing. The man walks over to the farmer and asks him, “excuse
me sir, but what are you doing?” The farmer replies, “I’m trying to win a Nobel
Prize.” “How?” Asks the man puzzled. “Well I heard the give the prize to people
who are outstanding in their field.”
