Your Weekend Funnies



Dear Family and Friends, Today was the hottest so far; we had 30°C in the shade. I have never experienced this here on the East Coast, just a few yards from the sea! Needless to say, we stayed huddled next to the aircon! This, however, did give me the chance to scour the Web for the newest and best fun stuff that was on offer – just for you!

























Gosh! 26 years ago!!!












































My hero on holidays!




 













I think I can see that Attenborough fellow!

















The Amish have requirements, maybe filling a few cans!














I'm guessing Middle East, henna tattoos!














I think they're rather neat!















My friend has one of these; he swears by it!















A Guinness Book of Records attempt, I am guessing!













Clever fence art!













Pizza trainers – really???














Tibbles isn't happy; he must pick the meat out of all that salad!














Yet another health and safety issue!














Is it a desktop computer or a vending machine?














The rebel!














Rustic spade and fork seats!














Anything rather than paying to get in!














Upcycled jeans?













Calf on mat looks overly warm!
















Juxtaposition!















Overcome by the scenery!






























I can only guess that they're stuffed!

















Hot air balloon - I hope Ronald paid for it!
















Ship's figurehead!















You see, there are these things called tides!!!













On our first date (1966) Helen wore a spotty dress, but it was black with white spots.
It was a bit more discreet!













It's not all plain sailing!

Thursday's Funnies



Dear Family and Friends, Today was the hottest for us this summer. I wimped out and stayed indoors. We had a visit from an old friend of more than 60 years! We caught up, having not seen him and his wife for a couple of years. That was so great! Later I had to brave the heat to go to the pharmacy for our prescriptions. I was lucky and didn't have to wait and was home for lunch in good time. PM we watched more Law & Order: SVU. Now I have had a scrap around and managed to cobble together enough pictures to make a new blog especially for you!






















Gosh! I haven't heard this for a very long time!














He likes it!















Novel Citroen modification!














Topical if nothing else!
















He has hopes!
















Careful or you'll spell it!















Swimming with sperm whales!














I wonder why?















I'm guessing that's against the rules!
















There's always one!













One at a time please!!!















Raccy's claws are so much like hands!













Yes! They do climb trees!
















Juxtaposition!
















Yet more health and safety issues!















Handy! But now the intended use!















Great! Now you must eat it all!














Crescent man!














Even the stormtroopers are wilting at the moment!















Fun use for old motherboards!













A greeting!











Broderie Anglais no less!













Strange, but if you ignite an accelerant, it does that! 













It may surprise you, but I could never do that!
