I don't want you to get bored looking at me and hubby in the garden last year, so I'll show it to you in the daylight, my refuge where the foxes wander.
There is not much that many of you don't know about me now, I enjoy a good laugh and if I can find one I will. If I can make someone smile my day is complete. I enjoy people and people watching but do not suffer fools easily, mainly because my dad told me I would be one when I grew up, and I think he may have been right.
I was born in Yorkshire and the extended family are still there but we now live in Staffordshire, we being my husband of 33 years and our two sons, well one of them has left and lives with his partner a girl whom we love dearly.
My latest hobby is writing and from this I am learning a great deal from and about people, that write.
My latest, latest thing to keep me occupied is making myself a nice new fleece top, it's getting cold and my old one; which must be 12 years old has had to be sent to a better place and I miss it already RIP>

Millions Of Stars and Riddles
Blog Posted:2/5/2013 6:16:00 AM

 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said: "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see". 

Watson: "I see millions and millions of stars". 

Holmes: "And what does that tell you?" 

Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?" 


Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."

Riddles Answers Tomorrow ...maybe

The more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?

Three men were in a boat. It capsized, but only two got their hair wet. Why?

If two's company, and three's a crowd, what are four and five?

Want to hear a cool construction joke?


If you were in a dark room with a candle, a woodstove, a match and a gas lamp which do you light first?

    I have a few guesses. No 1 blindness? No. 2. Perhaps they were just launching the boat and he jumped to land. No. 3 Nine No. 4 An igloo? No. 5 Match is the obvious answer but you probably have a twist here. Joyce
