Thursday's Funnies



Today was mild but showery, and I must confess the rain was very much needed, although in the end we didn't have much. It was busy today; first, to Colchester for another minor procedure on my scalp. Then home, and after lunch herself to the dentist. Home in time for dinner, bloodied but unbowed. Now I have gathered a small hoard of the newest pictures from 'Down there', for your amusement!

I may be wrong, but I think this is an upside-down room!















No cure for stupid!

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!














Failure but in a good way!

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!
