Anniversary
On Saturday, I went to visit my Mum & Dad as it was their wedding anniversary.
They now live with my Sister in Bognor Regis. The garden is more or less sorted how they want it, and my Dad is planning where to grow veg for next season.
I helped out a bit, moving soil from the back garden to the front.
My Nephew Jack arrived after school and I was plunged into geek heaven, as he demonstrated his latest cell phone. It’s a Nokia that looks like a Blackberry and does everything except cook your breakfast (although I believe that SpamEggzBacon_HoldThe Spam.com are working on an app as we speak) . Then I had a demo of ‘Guitar Hero’ which Jack did in his gaming chair which has speakers built into the backrest, quite impressive. I was offered a go, but I’ve got far too many digital addictions already, so I passed on that. My Sister later showed me how I could play Scrabble on Facebook, my Father even plays on-line now, it was only a year ago that he finally succumbed to pressure from my Sis and accepted a cell phone as a Birthday present. So I shall soon be playing him when I can work out how to set it up, I’m giving up sleep !!!
Took a few photos while I was there, the pond is almost overflowing with fish if anyone wants any……..
No sheep here
o·vine (
v
n
)
adj. Of, relating to, or characteristic of sheep; sheeplike.
n. An ovine animal.
[Late Latin ov
nus, from Latin ovis, sheep;]
Ref: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ovine There has been a lot of talk lately of mammals of an ovine persuasion. This led me to think about the suffix ‘ine’, which is used to form hundreds of words. We’re all familiar with the common usage of ‘masculine’, ‘feminine’, ‘feline’, ‘canine’ etc. The pictures above depict animals that the following words pertain to: Macropodine, Strigine, Vulpine, Hircine, Cervine, Psittacine, Ostracine, Spheniscine, Ranine, Elapine, Corvine, Pullastrine, Sciurine, and lastly Murine. How many can you guess? Answers here

But you don’t have an Uncle Paul
Uncle Paul pays a visit while the Father’s @ work & the Mother and daughter are @ home.
Father: “Hello?,Hi honey this is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?”
Little Girl: “No Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”
Father:…”But honey you don’t have an Uncle Paul.”
Little Girl: “Oh yes I do! And he’s upstairs in the room with Mommy,right now!”
Father:…”Uh..okay then this is what I want you to do, put the phone on the table,run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door, then shout to Mommy that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.”
Little Girl: “Okay Daddy, just a minute!”
A few minutes later….
Little Girl: “I did it Daddy.”
Father: “And what happened honey?”
Little Girl: “Well Mommy got all scared and jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug,hit her head on the dresser and now she isn’t moving at all!”
Father: “Oh my God!!!,What about your Uncle Paul?”"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on too, he got all scared just like Mommy did then he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool but I guess he didn’t know that you took all the water out last week to clean it and he hit his head on the bottom of pool,I think he’s dead.”
—Long Pause—
—Even Longer Pause—
Father:Wait..”Swimming pool?..uh Is this 486-5671 Sheldon residence
And for my next trick….
Kevin Dixie of Fuelmyblog floated the idea of a ‘Fuelstival’ and 24hr charity blogathon on Thursday 10th and I found the above video whilst researching an idea for a competition.
Not sure if it’s a sporting event or circus act, but those girls have got amazing balance!

Can’t help but think that Daddy Papersurfer has got a tad carried away with his new shed build
Smoke signals

So that’s where my ISP’s going wrong.
Anyone got any old tyres?
