Dear Family and Friends, Today was bright with a
little cloud. I walked Lola to the beach, and later made the finishing touches to my model fishing boat. PM we watched more 'Bones', always gory but the plots are clever, by coincidence today was their Christmas special! Now for more pictures for your amusement, hoping that you will enjoy them!











Towser is involved in a snowball fight!














Still loving the lights!














Quite mad!










In case you're wondering - it's a dirigible!










I think this is called a 'Barnstormer'!










Wondering where he's going or where he's been!!!










A twist on on a regular theme!










Question - an unusual Snowman - or a person???










Makes a change from 'Stargazy Pie"










Skull like steel!









Call me old fashioned but they ain't real cops!











Tibbles is helping with the car repairs!










Towser has fun with fruit wrappers!










I suspect that this Goth won't do the full lift!












Eye eye what all this then?









Old tech meets new tech!











Piglet racing can be fun!










Who is the idiot who put that tree there???













Hot dog and Hottie?









Meanwhile in Japan!










Good question!
















Have you put your lights up yet?








Will it? Or won't it???










A little prick I guess!

Sunday's Funnies


Dear Family and Friends, Today was grey, but calm, and rain did not arrive until late PM. My first job was to find out what was wrong with the toilet light. After some fiddling around I found that it was the light not the switch. The new light is not big enough to cover the hole, so we wait until tomorrow for a bigger one! I have more or less finished my ship model, although I am sure that I will be adding more gear onto it in time to come. PM more 'Bones', we are now well into series 3. Now for more pictorial madness, which is therapy for my aging brain!










Christmas a modern interpretation!





















They improve every year!














A fire storm!










Towser out-shines Godzilla!











Little things with little minds!











It looks like zero G but I think not!










Eccentric wall art!










Col. Sanders - the second coming!










Sunshine through a pipeline or AI!











Karate anyone???











Splashy fun in Bavaria!










Slinky likes his pasta!









Not sure what's going on here!










Santa Baby..............!










OK Elf on the shelf - we know what you're doing!!!










Boom Boom!










He's Doomed!










Talking Scots!










Almost unique!












Can you manage that???
















Your pom poms are looking a bit soggy!

Dear Family and Friends, Today started cold and very humid, the windows were dripping wet on the outside. I decided not to walk, but did exercises instead. I was busy on the rigging of my fishing boat, and had a few superglue incidents, as it prefers to stick fingers rather that the object to be glued! PM we watched more 'Bones'. Now I have been out in cyberspace to harvest yet more pictures for tonight's blog. I really hope that you will be entertained!














We've just been shorn!
















More lights!















Oh! This is so me!










It's only a hole in the fence!










Spectacular landscape!











Not sure that I am convinced!










Novel cross country skiing!









Novel lollipop!










I think that these are pilot whales, a type of dolphin!










Clever artist!










OK guys we'll rotate through 90 degrees!










You are being judged!










This prank must have taken an age!










Who is carrying whom???










A waiter who is a master of his trade!










I suspect it's only boots!










Great! - For about 10 seconds!










Typo!










I confess that I sometimes do that!











Ha Ha Ha Ha!










Kan U Spal???











I'm not too keen on tatts, but I like the baseball hat!














He doesn't really want to look!
















A variant of tug - o - war!
