If wealth was measured by how much we give rather than how much we take the world would be a better and happier place for more of its people. Bob

Some More Pictures From The Weekend

Here are some more pictures from the weekend. There are a few more on my mobile blog for those who are interested.

This picture was taken from Keswick when me Vicki and Tommy took a walk.

This is the main street of Appleby, if you would like to see more of Appleby visit this site for some nice pictures: http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/appleby.htm
One of the many stone barns that feature greatly in this part of the country.
Tommy enjoying another paddle. I was very pleased with him this weekend. He has been away with us in the past but never to a guest house and we've never walked him around town before but he behaved very well which means he can look forward to more trips out.

An old train at Hawes.

Take A Break.

This weekend me and Tommy are taking a break. We are going to Keswick in the morning to pick up Vicki who has been away at the Christian convention for the past week. We then intend to spend the weekend sight seeing. We will spend tomorrow night at Appleby and then take a long road home on Sunday. I will try and keep you up to date on my mobile blog at Coconuts From A Palm Treo

A Wet Morning.

I've just had to endure my first wet morning in a long time. I managed to get some soft fruit picked before the worst of the weather set in.

Better news from the dowager house, although still in hospital the gentleman is said to be feeling improved from what is though to be some kind of an infection.

Taken To Hospital.

It seems that while I was away at the weekend the dowager gentleman has been taken to hospital. I don't know if they kept him there or for what reason he went but I sure hope he's okay. It just goes to prove the health is better than wealth.

GRRR!

Well I am SO angry at this intrusion in to MY life that it's best I if I don't say another word until I feel better. If the boss wasn't around I wouldn't even bother to stay until clocking off time because I just can't be bothered anymore.

Oh Lord Please Give Me Patience.

This is one of the questions I just got asked, 'have you had any training on how to lift weights'. I could see Dick Dastardly grinning and I couldn't keep a straight face. I mean for goodness sake I've done manual labour from even before I left school if I don't know how to lift things by now I should just give up. She then asked what weights do I lift, I was dumb struck by this point and all I could think of was the weight of the shopping that Vicki brought home last night so I said, 'about 5 or 6 Asda carrier bags full of shopping'. Everyone laughted, even Danger Nanny. She then went on to explain the 25kg is the recomemded weight for one person to lift.
