I'm waiting for a smashing gent, Graham, to help get my garden under control.
My rebus is a children's book by a prolific author. Her books were a must have during my childhood 
Hi Pen,
It’s lucky I haven’t got a curious bone in my body, Pen.
Did you know that your author had some of her books banned from libraries in Australia? The reason given was that “
Noddy walked down a country lane and felt a little queer."
Yesterday, two women were playing golf on the Redland Bay links. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward Blue’s foursome playing the adjacent hole. The ball hit Blue.
He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to Blue, and immediately began to apologize. “
Please allow me to help. I’m a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you’d allow me.” she told him. “
Oh, no, I’ll be all right. I’ll be fine in a few minutes,” Blue replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the foetal position, still clasping his hands at his groin. At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.
She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, “
How does that feel?” Blue replied, “
It feels great, but I still think my thumb’s broken."
I enjoyed each of the twenty novels about a laid-back Roman ‘informer’ {
Private Investigator in modern parlance} who investigates crimes and acts as an often reluctant imperial agent. He narrates his adventures in the first person. In the course of the series set in 69-77 AD, he acquires a wife, children and dog, plus friends and antagonists. I picked the twelfth in the series for today’s rebus because the pictures can be presented in a different order to the words in the title. It was published at the turn of the century.
