The Return of the Big Spender

Sorry for being away for so long. I have been hibernating for the winter, which turned out to be quite a pleasant one. I had a cold now and again but better now. Today I am showing off my new toy which only came this morning - a Nikon Coolpix S8200. This blog provides interesting reading about it. I have taken a couple of photos as seen below.

Here is a picture of a rainbow taken from my front door together with some of the sheep and their lambs.

Just a few photo's I took .

I hope you like. I am not a person who spends all his time just working. I like looking around and enjoying life in retirement.

The pictures show The Twins who were there the other morning when I opened the kitchen door. My workshop ( needs a clean), Loppy Lugs the ewe in my field, and finally the lamb telling his mum he was just keeping the flies off his face!!

Another Joke

I read the following here, and then I laughed:

When Grandma Goes To Court

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.'

A Good Laugh

Speed limit Waiting in Doncaster , to catch speeding drivers, a police officer sees a car puttering along at 22 mph.. He says to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in the front seats and three in the back - wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?" The officer replies,"Ma'am, You weren't speeding but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." "Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...twenty-two miles an hour!" ....the old woman says a bit proudly. The police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that A22 is the road number not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. "Before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask....Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't made a sound this whole time," the officer asks. "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We've just come off the A120."
