A bit posh?



Would you like to live in this house?  Well you can't because it belongs to President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe
and is only one of many!

I have been away from my home for just a week and when I returned yesterday I found Autumn
had arrived outside the winow...cold but beautiful.

Concerned!




I read this little letter to a magazine and it made me laugh.

At the end of a busy day on police duties I left the station with my canine partner Jake who was barking excitedly and loudly as he knew very well this was the end of our day at work.
As we approached the police van and I took out the keys to open the doors at the back  I spotted a small boy staring at me from over a nearby wall.
'Are you putting that dog in the van?' he asked quietly.
'Yes, I am'  I replied
He looked puzzled and very sad and finally gasped out  'But why? what did he do?'

Still looking beautiful.



Oh dear, these were supposed to be red and lushious for our salads in August and here we are
at the middle of October and still very green.  At least with all this rain I haven't had to water
them constantly.   Perhaps now is the time to look out my receipe for green tomato chutney!

We are very complex to the end!



We are very complicated people and the more we learn about each other and our bodies and minds the more perlexing it is.
When Mel Blanc, a man of a thousand voices had a stroke he fell into a deep coma; he was taken to hospital and his family told he could not be saved and it was only a matter of time before he would die.
They were also reminded that hearing is the last of our senses to go so they should sit and talk with him until the end came which they did.
He never spoke to his loved ones again but whenever the doctors asked a question softly in his ear he would answer softly but only in the voice of Bugs Bunny his most famous creation.
He died some days later and only lost the voice of his beloved BB a few hours before his death.
