Good Morning

Slouching To Sunday

Another windy day. Sunny but windy.
Oh well, it is dry, so I am not goin’ to cry.
Had my usual Sunday music session in the lounge or common room
Some jazz and electronica.
Dawn came as usual. With her vodka and coke.
And we had a few smokes.
Dissed other people and blokes.
So, after a good hour or so
We went our separate ways
And for the rest it just laze.

Answers To Yesterday's Just Wondering.

These are the answers to yesterday's silly just wondering -

Snow cones came first — Nero was a fan of them (37 AD to 68 AD, then sherbet (13th century), and finally ice cream in the 16th.

As for the second one - it was a trick question - they are all have been bar games somewhere in the world! Dwarf tossing, human bowling, gerbil racing are all games believe it or not. Gerbil racing has been played in Montana! Dwarf tossing apparently started in Australia and moved to Canada and spread to the USA and France. It is a banned sport! A related formerly practiced activity was dwarf-bowling, in which a person with dwarfism was placed on a skateboard and used as a bowling ball and thankfully also banned.
Human Bowling is the life-sized, inflatable bowling game in which the players take on the roll of the bowling ball! While inside the bowling ball, players run forward, building momentum to knock over giant, inflatable pins. A guaranteed blast for all ages, just let the good times roll!

And finally - it is Churchill. His superstition was real but not a Monday, in fact, he refused to travel on Fridays.

Photographs

I was sat on the sofa, computer on my lap, looking through photographs to select a few to be included on Ros' order of service. I suddenly just broke down and sobbed. My wonderful Riley jumped on the sofa next to me, looked into my face, and put his paw on my arm. It just broke me...
