This week Calum exchanged his car (and some extra cash) for a new one - which looks just like the old one… I’m sure, if you were interested, he’d explain all the differences to you (snore). It does look very new and shiny, though - I’m just waiting for a hot sunny day so that we can take it for a proper spin! |
During a visit to the Mental Asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No.” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug… Do you want a room with or without a view?”

We went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat yesterday at the Gaiety Theatre, starring the rather lovely Craig Adams as Joseph. It was really good to see it again - I last saw it in Southampton about 10 years ago with Phillip Schofield in the starring role. |
The production seemed a little pared down, compared to 10 years ago but, I guess, that may have been more down to touring/venue constraints, rather than anything else. However, it was great to see and the performers were excellent. I really wanted to stay for the next performance, but I think the staff would probably have thrown me out! :o)
Well, you’re probably wondering whether Calum did need to call the florist below, but no, he opted for a rather more local one to send me six lovely red roses :o)
We also went out for dinner at a fairly new Asian restaurant, Zao, in Santry. The food was lovely and more than made up for our getting rather soggy on the walk from the bus stop!
Two tourists were driving through Wales. At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they stopped for lunch and one tourist asked the waitress, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are… very slowly?”
The blonde waitress leaned over and said, “Burrr-gurrr-Kinngg”.

Over the last few weeks I’ve started swimming again at the pool just up the road from where we used to live. As I now finish work at 4.30pm, I’m at the pool, ready to go, when the adult lane-swimming starts at 5pm. That usually gives me 10-15 minutes to get going before the lanes start to fill up. Unfortunately, though, tonight, they were a bit late in sorting the pool out, which meant that, by the time we started, there were quite a few of us sharing the lane. I’ve set myself the target of achieving at least 1/2 mile (32 lengths) each time, |
I was sent this great little joke yesterday (thanks, Steve) and thought I’d share it with you:
A man goes to the zoo.
When he got there, there was only a dog.
It was a shitzu. :o)
