A group of 25 of us (if you count the dogs) met to celebrate the first of the 5 pm runs. And by good fortune there were still 25 who came straggling in as darkness fell....It was the first water crossing that probably did the most to spread out the field, but the Shggrs and Leave Pass appear to have wilfully made up their own trail. The hare was definitely not at fault. Congratulations to Chinwag, Fleabite and their noname brother for running most of the way....
After hearing Leave Pass' joke we'll all be very careful about how we hold our towels in future! And here's another little Irish one:
There's a new priest at St. Brigid's, and Patrick comes up to him after his second Sunday in the parish.
"I want to thank you, Father," he says. "You've only been in the parish a short time, but you've been very good for me."
"Thank you," says the new priest. "In what way have I helped?"
"Well, when I came to church last Sunday I had lost my hat, and so I'd stolen O'Brien's one. Then you preached on 'Thou shalt not steal' and that made me feel very bad. So this Sunday I gave him his hat back, and now I feel much better."
"I'm very glad to hear that," says the priest. "That was a good thing that you did."
"But there's more," says Patrick. "This Sunday when I came to church you preached on 'Thou shalt not commit adultery'. And then I remembered where I'd left my hat!"
It's back to Ironbark Gully for the first time in a while this coming Sunday. Floater and Scratchit are our hares, so we can look forward to a highly artistic run. Here's a link to her latest project - a celebration of 150 years of Queensland. Go on - vote for it!
