...Have You Moved Them...?

I now have photos of Project 5 on face book -- if you'd like to see our progress, check it out – www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=1225934715

Shortly after we moved here in March I couldn't find the nail clippers - so what? you ask - Well, they're always kept in the same place, in my make-up bag - the one that stays in my bedside cabinet - it's never moved. So how come they weren't there.

I blamed Dave for using them and not putting them back, of course, even though he insisted that he hadn't touched them. And to be fair to him - his toenails are so awful and so damn hard that he has to use wire cutters on them - yes really.

So I spent the next couple of days hunting high and low for them - looking in all sort of odd places that I knew they couldn't possible be - but you start getting a bit desperate don't you??

Anyway, Dave kept telling me to 'Look in your handbag' - but I did even though I was convinced they wouldn't be there - why would they?

Eventually, I gave up the search and just went to the chemist and bought another pair - only £2.00 - so it didn't break the bank and I happily started clipping away.

A couple of weeks later while we were having a coffee in a very nice coffee shop just outside Boston - I was rummaging in my bag looking for a pen and OMG! there were the nail clippers (in the small zipper pocket) - I've absolutely no idea how they got there -

Needless to say Dave only comment was 'I told you they'd be in your bag - everything always is'

Doctor, doctor, please kiss me," says the patient.

"No, I'm sorry, that would be against the code of ethics," says the doctor.

Ten minutes later the patient says: "Doctor, please, kiss me just once."

"No, I'm sorry, I just can't" he says.

Five minutes later, she asks again:

"Please, please kiss me!"

"Look," says the doctor, "it's out of the question.

In fact, I probably shouldn't even be f***ing you.

Dave & I are going to North Yorkshire for a weeks holiday in five days (Sunday) – I simply love it there and I’m already getting butterflies at the thought of being back – silly I know but I’m always the same. As soon as I see that ‘You are entering the North Yorkshire Moors’ sign I feel like I’m home….

We first went when I was pregnant with Tom – 24 years ago – and we try to get back at least once a year if not more…well I do, I know that Dave’s not as ‘in love’ with the place as I am…..

Dave & I went to Mareham le Fen yesterday (3 miles away) for the village open gardens day. It was a great day out and all the villagers that we met where so friendly.

We started off in the village hall with a ploughman’s lunch, homemade trifle (one of my favourites) & a drink all for the princely sum of £4.50. That’s what I call value for money and the piece of cheese was enormous. When we were completely stuffed we started the walk around the village gardens.

The weather was dry and sunny but boy it was mega windy – it almost knocked you over. There was fourteen private gardens in all to view – we managed twelve of them. I was really surprised at how they were all completely different and the smallest garden – which really was tiny – was one of the best while the largest was lacking imagination.

Unfortunately, Dave’s back was playing him up with all the walking so we called it a day a little early and made our way home.

It was well worth the effort and a great way to raise funds for the village hall fund.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
…anything is good if it's made of chocolate.…

Results of recent research show that there are only 7 kinds of sex:

The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex.

* This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex
until you are blue in the face.

The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex.

* This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so needy you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex.

* This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex

* This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say 'screw you.'

The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex.

* Which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night. (Very Popular)

The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex.

* This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.

And; Last, but not least,

The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex.

* You get a little each month. But not enough to enjoy yourself.

Dave & I are still at stages 1 + 2, of course

…you never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.…


It’s a damp dreary day here in Lincolnshire today. I got up around 7.30am (that’s just too early!) and it was drizzling and it’s now 3.30pm and it’s still drizzling. Some idiot across the way has a bonfire going as well and there’s thick smoke and an awful smell in the air - it’s a bit stupid having one while it’s so wet and damp, don’t you think?? must be a man….a woman would have more sense….

The rain hasn’t put off the birds from feeding though and I’ve spent a good deal of the morning watching them -- BOY! I’m becoming such a country girl -- Mr Daws, Woody & Mr & Mrs Dove have been there pretty much non-stop. If they don’t take a break from all the goodies soon they’ll have trouble taking off.

I’ve also just seen a couple of great tits, greenfinches, a robin with the reddest breast I’ve ever seen and a collection of sparrows and of course the starlings – they’re never far away, are they?

Beattie’s (cat) has taking a little too much interest in them today. I had to go and get her earlier as she was sitting on the fence directly beside the feeding station, watching and waiting for them….

I told her ‘You’ll need to be more discreet than that’

...Bill Gates...

www.bootblack.co.uk

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait ‘til you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers are not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you can read this - Thank a teacher!

…the road to success is always under construction.…



I’m so excited we have jackdaws feeding on the feeding station everyday – WOW! – and much more exciting woodpeckers…Great Spotted Woodpeckers…(goggled it!) have now arrived – WOW-WOW-WOW-

A single Woody arrived a couple of days ago and only stayed a few minutes – by the time I’d got the camera out he’d already ‘whooshed’ away. He was back yesterday with a friend so there were two of them on the feeding station munching away at the fat balls and today there’s been one on and off all day – they seem to like the fat balls best. They are just too cute and I LOVE the way they cling to the trunk of the tree and move around it – BRILL!!


There’s been up to twelve Mr Daws at any one time feeding and keeping guard today – they keep the starlings at bay, which up to now have pretty much taken over the feeding platforms.

At the moment there’s two doves, pigeon, sparrows, blackbirds, couple of great tits, robin and the Woody’s.

…I’ll try not to think how much they’re costing me in birdseed…

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house.

To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying:

'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.'

For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it.

He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.

It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale £50.'

The next day someone stole it.

Caution.... They Walk Among Us!

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted....

'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where???'

They Walk among us!!

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning.

She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?'

When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said,
'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.'

They Walk Among Us!!

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.

I told the girl at the steakhouse register that I wanted the half-kilogram sirloin.

She informed me they only had a 500g sirloin.

Not wanting to make a scene, I told her I would take the 500g steak instead of the half kg.

They walk among us!

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped

She keeps it in the boot...

My friends and I were on a Lager run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%.

Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases.

The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount....

They Walk Among Us!!!!!!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.

My friend said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?'

I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned...

They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area.

So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.

She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.

'Now,' she asked me, 'Has your plane arrived yet?'...

They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!!

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go.

He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.

He thought about it for some time before responding.

'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces'.

I’m just waiting for Dave to finish today’s session of Nitromor-ing the quarry tiled floor in the kitchen (Dave does it in small areas) and then I’ll make tea. We’re having chicken sweet n sour today with plain rice.

…look how often the unexpected happens -- yet we still never expect it …

Yesterday, Dave & I had our second picnic of the year so far. We found a tranquil spot just off a country lane and sat on the tartan rug beside the River Witham just beyond a village called Chapel Hill in the Lincolnshire countryside.

We ate our goodies from the wicker basket, that I’d purchased from a garden fayre last week and settled down to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Little did we know that we were on the landing path for RAF Coningsby… BOY! They sure know how to spoil the tranquillity of the afternoon….

I had no idea just how deafening the noise of jets are, as they land. There was around fifteen of them in total circling the skies and taking up their positions to land one after the other. It really was quite a sight and I did enjoy the spectacle.

Even though I must admit to be more than a little pleased that we didn’t live near that particularly village.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
…to heal from the inside out is the key…

I had another appointment with ‘The Stunner’ (nurse practitioner) this morning at the doctors surgery – the blood test that I had last week for possible thyroid problem, came back as normal (so I still don’t know why I’m so cold for most of the time) – but I’ve now got a raised glucose level of 6.6. This is apparently above the norm but isn’t quite diabetic level (has to be above 7.0 for that!).

So there’s another blood test on the way for next week – a fasting one this time – and depending on that result….well, just watch this space….

I didn’t let Dave come with me today to see her – as she’s just too gorgeous – he gets much too hot and bothered when he’s around here and would have only put his blood pressure up again.

….see, I’m only thinking of him. Really, I am…

"Breast-fed," she replied.

"Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered.

She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination.

Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said, "No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk."

Dave & I went to Market Rasen, in the heart of the Wolds, on Saturday. It was a fabulous drive there through winding country lanes and lush countryside.

When we arrived I was a little disappointed by the look of the town – it was quite rundown (unfortunately, there’s quite a lot of towns & villages like that around here) but it definitely didn’t take away the prettiness of the place. There’s some great period property around and even though a lot need attention I could see pass that and imagine what the place could be like with a ‘lick of paint’. We did find a lovely tea room though and had a really nice lunch so all wasn’t lost.

There’s a Gardening Fayre there this weekend so we intend to go back – if the weather is OK – we’re still looking for a bird table for the top of the felled conifer – hopefully we’ll find one there.

patient, loving and undemanding?

Is it because your hair is going thin?

Or is it because you're handsome & still quite slim?

Is it because you make me happy and still know how to make me laugh?

Maybe I just love you because I'm totally daft.
