Hi Pen,
The training was a bit curate’s egg. A lot of people didn’t turn up because it was too cold. 8
oC and a bitterly cool westerly, so they combined two classes of different abilities which weren’t ideal. The instructors were also a bit keen to get home, so we didn’t go the full hour. I made a concession to the conditions by wearing a golf base layer garment under my T-shirt but I didn’t consider it cold enough to abandon footy shorts for long trousers.
I guess Les would have rugged up and gone down to South Bank for the fireworks and celebrations because Brisbane won the right to host the 2132 Olympics. I don’t know what the excitement was about because it ended up being a one-horse race. I guess you could say it is fitting that we did a “Bradbury”.
I have told this story before, but I am trusting that people have short memories.
Sheila asked her friend, Babs, over for lunch. On Bab’s arrival Sheila announced she was going to serve a delicious Ox Tongue stew.
“
No no”, cried Babs, “
I won’t eat anything that comes out of an animals mouth. Just please just serve me an egg”.
My Author today is British. His publications have included cookery books, history and military history, but he is best known for his spy novels.
Among many other books, he wrote 3 spy trilogies using the same characters. The second had a broad likeness to my rebus yesterday but the three books from the first trilogy were
#6 #4 , #6 #3, #6 #5
The first word of each title is a geographic location: A city or country.
