Well pissed off for a few days now; I have a burst ear-drum - again - and it's really bloody unpleasant. I'll be back soon, and I'm sure the Sun'll be out in a few days too............

Spent all day stripping pink(!) paint from a Black, Welsh Slate fireplace. Why do people do such awful things; home improvements should improve homes not ruin them. Should be a crime to spoil original items; better to remove them than deface them. Kept me off the streets though.

Just joined a great bunch of 'senior - like me' people to go walking. In the Preselis this morning; fantastic scenery, dramatic sky vistas, bracing breeze and friendly company; maybe I'll do this every Tuesday!!

Lots going on; spent yesterday removing Ragwort from fields, then moved the menagerie up to Roger's field. Obviously happy, they gave us a great display of bucking, galloping, jumping and , of course, eating. lots of nice green grass for the hungry buggers - they'll be happy for a while now. Kitchen plinth finished (at last), and moving on to guest bedroom - friends coming this weekend; mainly 'decor' to put right but it would be nice to see a square, smooth wall at least somewhere in the house! Just listened to 'Fry's English Delight' on R4; I'm intrigued by it all. This is a sentence: Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo, buffalo buffalo Buffalo. All to do with capitals, plurals, and verbs - I wish I'd listened at grammar School......

I've spent 2 days trying to fix my Daughter-in-Laws' Metro and fiddled with my old Citroen in between times; oil,paint,grease, petrol, just like old times!

TODAY'S Joke!!!!
In a run-down part of East London recently, a fire destroyed a dilapidated four storey house that had been divided into four flats. A Nigerian family of six internet con artists and full time benefit cheats lived on the first floor, and all six tragically perished in the fire. A group of seven Islamic welfare cheats, all illegally in the country, lived on the second floor, and they too, all perished in the fire. Six Albanian, gang banger, ex-cons - all claiming political asylum and living off the state for free occupied the 3rd floor and they too, died. And one middle aged British white couple lived on the top floor. They miraculously survived the fire. The Equal Opportunities Commission, Amnesty International, Human Rights activists, black community leaders and the British Islamic Council were all furious at the apparent racial inequality of the situation. Why were just the British white couple saved? It was monstrous they claimed, and showed that systemic 'racism' still existed in all areas of public service - questions were raised in the House of Commons, the popular media picked up the story and within hours it was national and indeed international news.
Boris Johnson - Mayor of London, when questioned stated calmly that it would be unwise to jump to conclusions until the Police and Fire Service had completed their report. He closed by stating that he expected their initial assessment would be available within the next 36 hours - so perhaps it would be best to let the experts gather the evidence and report back before he commented any further. The baying Press pack subsequently reported the interview in such a way as to intimate that the Mayor was indifferent to suffering and was out of touch with the feelings of the whole of East London. A large motorcade of representatives from all five groups, together with Jacquie Smith - the Home Secretary drove to the area and demanded a meeting with the local chief fire officer. They made sure that a large pack of popular Press and TV had been briefed on the visit and so the motorcade was met by a huge gaggle of journalists, TV interviewers and cameras. On camera, they loudly demanded to know why the Africans, Black Muslims and Albanians all died in the fire and only the white couple lived.
The chief fire officer quietly replied :- "They were at work."
