I just came in from chasing a huge cane toad around the back yard with my can of Stophop.   He has stopped hopping.

What did you think of the baby goanna in the tree.. I bet you just wanted to give it a cuddle.

Hi Jack

You made me roar with laughter   The thought of you chasing the cane toad and then the comment that he stopped hopping just tickled the hell out of me!

I did wonder what that was in the tree.  If that's only a baby then I shudder to think what an adult goanna is like   As you can imagine I would have been running as fast as my short little legs would carry me in the opposite direction 

I've been out for a walk with my old work friend Gill.  It's a tropical 12^oc here today although the very windy wind makes it feel quite a bit cooler than that!

A quick rebus from me as I still have a few chores    It's a film from the 1940's which had a remake about 40 years later.  It wont give you a headache.

Please use the first name of the gent at the front of picture two.  Replace the first two letters with just one.  You're not interested in Joel Garner but what he is (not a cricketer!)  Middle two letters of a four letter word.  Please change the fourth letter of picture six and all on one line.

          

A policeman sees a man driving around with a van full of penguins. He pulls the guy over and says, "You can't drive around with penguins in the town! Take them to the zoo immediately."
The guy obliges and drives away.
The next day, the officer sees the same man driving around with the van full of penguins again. This time, though, all the penguins are wearing sunglasses.
The police officer pulls the guy over and says, "I thought I told you to take these penguins to the zoo yesterday?"
The man replies, "I did, and today I'm taking them to the seaside."

Leave you with a very naff joke

Hi Jack. Yes it was released in 1987
Sorry I might have got confused & with the style of dancing.
Need my sleep 

Great rebuses Jack and John  - I've got them both now!  Might have been the cheese and coleslaw sarnie I had for lunch - recharged my little grey cell

I love puns like that.  It gave me the inspiration for my rebus.

Hi Jack

So do I!  That was a cracking & very clever rebus   It took me several attempts before I got there!

I don't think I can match it but I'll have a bash   My rebus is an album from the 1980's.

Position is vital!

          

I went to the seaside yesterday and as I was walking along the beach I dropped my keys in the sea.  Unfortunately, one of the fish swallowed them so I dived in to get them back.
They were in the last plaice I looked!

They were happy days Linda    A very different world altogether.

I'm on my way - throw in some extra spuds   Roast chicken beats bangers hands down!! 

Sounds like you need a break from knitting and puzzling although perhaps you could consider combining the two?    I've got a friend who can knit and watch telly at the same time!

It's trying to brighten up here but not quite managing it   I'm going to rug up and head out for a walk.

I've done a fair bit of jigsaw now so if you need to know where any country in the world is (as long as it's not Tuvalu as I haven't located it yet but think it might be somewhere remote off Australia maybe?) I'm your woman!  Not really, because I was convinced Denmark was somewhere up near Sweden (my husband shakes his head in despair - frequently!)  The scarves are a welcome (?) distraction and don't take much puzzling out and I've even managed to put tassels on them.  I sound like a 'crafter' but believe me I'm not.  Don't know one end of a 'sewing stick' from another but can knit to a basic degree.

Ham and tomato and you know what sarnie for lunch today.   

Pleased to hear you're making headway with the jigsaw and I look forward to learning the whereabouts of Tuvalu very soon   I didn't think Denmark and Sweden were a million miles apart!  Isn't there a bridge that links the two countries?  I've probably made that up   I'll consult Ms Google later.

I'm useless at knitting and sewing.  I could probably manage a rabbit scarf at a push as I can do simple plain and purl though not so hot at casting on and off.  I can sew a button on but that's about it I'm afraid.

Are these scarves for real bunnies or stuffed toys?

Off out for a walk.  It's very dull and cold here today.  I've love to know the difference between cloudy and overcast.  According to the Met Office it's overcast today and cloudy tomorrow 

Was it a special occasion or just a random indulgence?

I am doing some yard cleaning so I called a firm to ask if I could have a skip on the front lawn.  They said, "Go for it, fatty, you could do with the exercise"

You wouldn't have had the answer to today's rebus personally but others who have, quite often see a doctor about it .

Hi Jack

Zoe and I don't buy each other Christmas presents so the massage was our gift to ourselves.  We either do that or buy theatre tickets.  We've seen Hairspray and The Miserables in previous years.  It just happened that it was Eve's birthday yesterday so we combined it all into one smashing day

I roared with laughter at your skip joke this morning

I enjoyed your rebus - not like the poor buggers who have to deal with it.

My rebus is another old TV gem.  Not as old as Bonanza!  It shouldn't give you a headache.

How is the rather compact place in picture one known?  Please use surname of either in picture two and you need present tense in the last picture and swap two letters round.

People are often surprised when they see the intricate tattoo I had done whilst visiting Barcelona...
Nobody expects the Spanish ink precision!
