every christmas thing comes to he who waits

That shop loved and hated by all and saturday had Tunis Cake in before Christmas with a shocking sell/use by date on it and at quite a price. Now its half price and with a much better sell/use by date. Yippee love Tunis Cake first had it at my paternal grandmothers many many years ago.

Might have to find another.........

I found another cracker joke...ho ho ho

Why did no one bid for Rudolph and Blitzen at the auction.








Have you got it yet







Well all right






Because they were two deer!

What a difference a day makes..........

Went back down to Burwell Fen yesterday for another walk to try and get to know it more. Lovely weather again but a lot more of the shallow water frozen and Reach Lode or that bit against the fen.

Still some nice birds about and the Roe Deer scattered all over. But no Short Eared Owl to be seen in the few hours we were there, mind you Little Owl and Barn Owl sort of made up for that. Saw a lovely female Hen Harrier and three Marsh Harrier and up to five Stonechat which was nice.

So thats two nice walks in lately, suppose I better get on with some work...............

lovely afternoon for a walk in the fen and then.............

Nice walk this afternoon down to Burwell Fen, lovely bit of sun and just a tad of cold but not too cold. Amongst the sightings were a dozen or so Roe Deer and a nice Hare, then at least 200 Golden Plover a 100 or so Lapwing, 3 Kestrel and to round it off  3 Short Eared Owl. Very nice.

A piccie of 4 of the Roe Deer, a buck and three does all be it a tad out of focus.

Also saw something that sent a shiver down my spine and reminded me of the James Wentworth Day comments about being in the Five Miles from Anywhere at Upware one night and asking who wanted to walk back along the footpaths to Wicken....... Non one did , why....

He still lives and is obviously still following people.

ho ho ho

Crackers and not me well almost perhaps...

Why do fish live in salt water.........................because pepper makes them sneeze

Why did the man keep doing the backstroke....................because he didn't want to swim on a full stomach

What do you get when you cross a computer with an elephant................ a computer with lots of memory

And finally

What makes pirates such good singers...............they can hit the high C's

Do they get better or worse, does it depend how much you pay, are they really made up by MP's sitting on the benches bored by speeches!!!!!!!!!

This made me laugh

Just bought some new lights for me bike, a rear one that is shall we say bright and a front one that is brighter.

I was reading through the pamphlet that came with the front lamp and there's a section titled Precautions.

(1) Please dont irradiate the light at human eyes directly to avoid harm to eye, especially children but except enemies.

Can/could I use this as an excuse if I shone this in one of my enemies eyes I wonder, it was in the instructions Judge.........

little and large or how not to drive perhaps

I was driving north on the M11 this afternoon close to Cambridge and saw a wonderful piece of driving.

One HGV passing another HGV and then giving right amount of room when past it before pulling in.

Behind the overtaking lorry there was a white Ford Fiesta, quite a new one, it does that usual rush up behind the overtaking lorry and braking hard as if the lorry has no right to overtake which it started to do well before the Fiesta appeared. Then I couldn't believe my eyes as the Fiesta then flashed the lorry as it wasn't pulling over quick enough for it, and it was that close at the time they must have blinded themselves with the reflection.

Did the lorry pull over immediately, what do you think, he was making sure he was past the lorry he was overtaking then he pulled in and the Fiesta was off like a shot. Bless em.
