Alive, alive - o!

Shockjock played the live hare this Sunday, and various groups of runners and walkers played variations on his theme - which essentially went up and down a lot. The runners almost caught up with him at one point, but by the time they had wheezed up the hill he was well out of sight. It was altogether a very enjoyable jaunt through the woods.

The whole family had contributed to the delicious meal - so thanks to all the big chefs and little chefs as well!

Le W*nk will be celebrating his move to the seaside next weekend with a run from his place. He'll find hills a bit more difficult to come by at Sandgate, but there are some stairs from the parking area to the beach - we could go up and down them for a while....Do remember that it can get cold by the bay - so bring something (or somebody) warm to snuggle into.

And here's a little story for us aging folk:

A bloke goes to his doctor for a checkup. When he's done the doctor asks, "Is there anything else concerning you?"

"Well, not really," says the fellow. "I'm a bit worried that my wife might be losing her hearing, though."

"Has she had it tested?"

"No - she gets quite annoyed when I suggest it."

"Tell you what," says the doctor. "Try saying something to her from some distance away, then come a bit closer and say it again. Keep moving closer until she can hear you. This should give you an idea of how bad her hearing is."

Whem the bloke gets home his wife is in the kitchen. So he stands in the living room and calls, "What's for dinner, dear?"

He then tries it from the kitchen door: "That smells good. What's for dinner, darling?"

Finally he comes right up behind her: "What's for dinner?"

She turns round and says, "For goodness' sake! For the third time - it's meatloaf!"
