I thought some of this was quite appropriate after the weekend

1. 6:00 am is when you get up, not when you go to bed
2. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the music
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge
4. You take naps
5. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again”

On Saturday we went to Dennis & Sophie’s wedding on the SS Great Britain.

Luckily it stayed dry for most of the afternoon, allowing for the photos to be taken up on deck.

Sophie wore a beautiful traditional style red dress, and the bridesmaids were in white, with red sashes or wraps.

After the ceremony and a few celebration drinks we headed off to Woodhouse Park for the reception, for drinks, music and a pig roast.

There was a bit of rain, but it didn’t seem to dampen anybody’s night.

Well its Monday again, so back to work.  This week a little worst for wear after a busy weekend.

We started the weekend on Friday night, with a concert in the Forest.

A group of us went to see the Zutons at Westonbirt.  They were supported by Noah & the whales and the Mystic Jets.  We took plenty of wine and a picnic.

Although the forcast wasn’t too good for Friday night, the rain held off, for most of the evening, and the rain we had was just light drizzle.

A good time was had by all - I will be keeping an eye open for who will be playing at Westonbirt next year.

There are a few photos of us in the album.

An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey.

He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Love Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son. Continue Reading »
