Midweek Funnies



Dear Family and Friends, Today was overcast and cooler, 22°C. I walked but didn't get very far; by the yacht pond my calf cramped up, and I hobbled home. Most of the morning was taken up at the hospital, where herself had her wound dressings changed. Home to lunch. PM more crime TV. Now, as is my calling, I have extracted from the Internet the latest fun stuff that I could find for you!



















Mr Knopfler doing what he does best!












A new fashion line!














Especially for me?
















Er..........????
































Riding? - No, flying low!

















Stress reliever!













Our Cousins say it like that; our Dutch friends pronounce it Van Hgogh!















That's a bit counterintuitive!
















Oh! Yes!














Frozen in time!















Caravan!
















Sponge divers—get it?















Alpen horns in the Alps!















I don't think they had weapons like that at the Crusades!
















Dicing it with the Golden Gate Bridge!













Juxtaposition!













Rock climbing can be challenging!









Colour-coordinated!















They are really fed up!













Gosh, that's a super computer chair!















This really is nearly the end!














Awe-inspiring!

Dear Family and Friends, Today was overcast, but still very warm. I decided not to walk, as I had to finish the work in the garden that was interrupted yesterday. By the time that I had finished, I was a grease spot again, so I retreated indoors. PM, we are pegging away at 'Law & Order: SVU'. Many episodes yet to go. Now for more fun stuff from what seems to be an inexhaustible supply – if you know where to look!
























Easy Listening!














Possible Cossacks!

















Heels?














As I've said before, the Cousins seem to be obsessed with bottoms!













Interesting wall feature!













Gosh, he's a biggie!














Mathematician's clock!















Ducky likes sport!
















Colourful, isn't he?













Don't you just hate it when that happens?














Cut off your nose to spite your face!















Towser goes for the James Bond look!
















Using Excalibur for that???














OK! OK! I just had it washed!














Unconditional love!














Big Bird looks a little lonely!















Unseasonal but great nonetheless!














Remember Peter Fonda in 'Easy Rider'?














A somewhat undignified swallow dive!













Super plate collection!













Let's hide!













Trying to be arty, but oops!

Monday's Funnies



Dear Family and Friends, What a day! First a walk; it was cloudy and cool—so nice! Later, on a trip to the pharmacy, and on arriving home herself had fallen in the garden and grazed both arms and hurt her knee. Then the adventures began, attended the Harwich minor injuries unit, sorry closed due to staff shortages. So off to Clacton Hospital. Immediate triage and temporary bandages, then after about a two-hour wait, saw a very nice nurse, who dressed the wounds and recommended a knee X-ray. So off to X-ray, and after a short wait it was done. Then back to the nurse, who showed us the X-ray, bruising but nothing broken. Home at 1700, 3 and a half hours, but excellent service! Good old NHS! Here are your funnies.


























If you remember this, you are a valued antique!













Oldie but Goodie!













Dumbo must have his little bit of fun!













Leaping for joy!














Baaaa!














Is it really windy???














Grandpa is a fire eater!














The question is, which is it???














Death Star egg!













You know when they say the wheels are coming off? - Well!














Miniature world together with 'Up House'













By design or accident?













A skateboarding priest—why not?













Front row seat!













Harvest Giant!













Wire coathanger art!














Fantastic jungle gym!














Jump for joy!














Mr. Harbourmaster, we have a visitor!














Bull 1 rider 0!













Not too keen on those boots!













Not your day, dearie!













And it was all going so well!
