I don't think I can make it any easier. >:D


Hi Jack

It was a cracker (as was John's  :)).  It took me several attempts - mostly because I couldn't stop staring at that child having a paddy :laugh:  Got there in the end & double checked it with Ms Google!

I thought I'd take a quick break from my chores to do a post.  That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it >:D  Problem is once I stop I find it hard to get started again!

         

Right enough slacking!  I'd better get back to work ;D

If life gives you lemons, add a large gin & some tonic...

Then you woke up it was a hissy fit? Why not just check in the spoiler alert?  ???

This is just a quickie as we have to go out to the airport to pick up frozen of Canberra.  It was -2oC there this morning.

   

And I’ll leave you with

Oh my! 😍 Such an intelligent, attentive face!

Two females at our place are more intelligent than me and one of them is Bonnie. :D

Hi Jack

I did indeed wake up & nearly threw a hissy fit :laugh:  Don't know why I didn't just check the spoiler alert - far too simple :-R  I just nearly had another hissy fit.  I finished my post & then managed to click on the little cross at the top & lost it all as I hadn't copy & pasted  :(

I bet frozen of Canberra will be happy to be Nice & Warm of Redlands for a while :)  Your forecast is warmer than ours next week!  How long is Andrew staying?

I've just booked a train ticket to visit my cousin David in Derbyshire next Wednesday.  Home on Saturday.  I brought my planned trip forward as he's off to Slovenia for four weeks for a special Panther rally.

   
 

Three nuns were talking.
The first nun said, "I was cleaning the Father's room the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines!"
"What did you do?" the other nuns asked.
"Well,  I threw them in the bin of coure."
The second nun said, " Well, I can top that, I was in Father's room putting away the laundry and I found a packet of condoms!"
"Oh heavens!" gasped the other nuns. "What did you do?" they asked.
"I poked holes in all of them," she replied.
The third nun cried "Oh bugger!"

Leave you with a very silly joke ;D

Hi Pen,

Andrew’s visit will only be for a bit over a week. One reason for his visit is that our daughter is having a significant birthday next week.

I assume your visit to the Peak District provided the inspiration for the subject of your cartoons.  I assume your nun joke is unrelated. :D >:D


My rebus is an idiom that is often now used, particularly in America, as an expression of goodwill for those going on a journey or retiring.  Origin unknown but probably originated in the times of sailing ships.

#4  #5  #3  #9   #4

          

Conceptually one line.
Picture 4.  Focus on what the four are doing

Regards, Jack

Hi Jack
 
You're spot on of course ;)

It's still horribly muggy here & we desperately need some rain.  I put some washing on the line - more in hope than expectation.  If that fails I may have to consider a rain dance :laugh:

I have an answer to your rebus but I'm going to wait patiently for the spoiler to see if I'm right >:D  My rebus is the sequel to a film that Zoe & I love.  Sadly the new one was a massive disappointment - we gave up after about 20 minutes :(  You'll probably find this too easy peasy!

7'1 (#3 + #3 + #1) #5 9 (#4 + #5)

'S
Please lose the last two letters of picture 2 & change the third letter in picture 3 & insert an apostrophe.  Please pretend it's all on one line.

        

I hope your daughter has a smashing birthday :)   21 again? :laugh:

Wonders will never cease! It's just started raining :o  Better get that washing in!
Leave you with this ;D

We are going down to Haworth next week some time to visit the Brontes!!


Hi Linda

Are you back from your travels?  How was Yorkshire & Haworth?  Hopefully considerably cooler than when I was there.

Are you back to work this week? :(  I've got the first two weeks in September off & can't wait!

Hi Pen,

A quick bit of humour until I can think up a new rebus.



   

Joel Garner, the Cricket legendary fast bowler from West Indies, is 6 feet 8 inches tall.
In his playing years, his height was a big attraction.

Once at a dinner in Australia, he was approached by two ladies, who asked, "You are so tall, with long arms and limbs. We are dying to know whether everything else is in proportion to your height."

Sportingly, Garner replied, "If I were built in proportion, I would be 9 feet tall."
Regards, Jack

Hi Pen

As you can see, I am back!  Yorkshire was lovely and not too hot, thank goodness.  Best part was catching up with our son and his girlfriend and doing a good deal of eating and drinking!!  Got today off and then in for two so can't complain as I've been off for over two weeks.  Plans changed so didn't get to Haworth but it's still on my list for days out.  Last time we went it was pouring down which added to the Gothic atmosphere in the churchyard!  Went to Harrogate and Richmond and Barnard Castle instead.  Leeds was very busy but great because there are so many good places to visit and my son escorted us around avoiding the hen party revellers!!  Passed by Saltaire on the train and have added that to my list of places to visit as have seen a programme about it on TV and it looks very nice indeed.

I hope you enjoy your trip to Derbyshire - I've been to Bakewell when we visited Chatsworth House but that's all I really know of that area.  Hope the weather is kinder to you, I'm sure it can't be as hot again this year?!

Looking forward to our September trip to gay Paree - we are going to spend a day at the Palace of Versailles and might even go to Pere Lachaise to visit Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison!!

Off to the flaming dentist later - wish me luck!  >:D

Welcome back Linda :)

It sounds like you had a smashing time.  Great company & plenty of eating & drinking - what more can you ask for? Perfect ;)

You need to put Derbyshire on your bucket list.  There are some lovely places to visit.

Eve & I visited Versailles in 2019.  It is an amazing place.  The Palace itself was very crowded & I struggled to see everything.  Especially being jostled by the enthusiastic Japanese tourists :laugh:  We escaped to the gardens & they're fantastic.  We spent hours wandering about & we saw Marie Antoinette's village.

I'm on a flying visit today as I'm training a new lady & have to have lunch shortly.  Egg & tomato with our favourite condiment :-H

Good luck at the dentist :)  Hope no treatment required.

Do visit Saltaire if you can. An interestng village and the galleries etc in the Mill are fantastic and the exhibition about Titus Salt is interesting. These days you could even top up on the vino whilst visiting  but watch  out for Titus turning in his grave! A few years ago they revamped the park at the side of the river and it is a nice walk on the Leeds and Liverpool canal path too.
