Well, I hope the old superstition of bad things come in threes is true because, today I dropped my phone down the toilet!
Just five months old and the second one broken in 10 months!
Another test tube of espresso please!

I recently had the great pleasure of spending a few days in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park in North Wales.
It was whilst driving along one of those narrow country lanes that I passed a farm entrance where, beside the gate, was a stall which was stacked with all the fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy produce which one would expect in such a rural area.
Beside the stall was a hand written sign which stated:
FRESH FRUIT
FRESH VEGETABLES
PARACETAMOL
I was so surprised that I pulled in and wound down the window.
"Fresh fruit, Fresh veg and paracetamol?" I asked the earthy looking chap behind the stall.
"That's right," he replied with a strong Welsh accent.
"OK, I get the fruit and veg," I said, "But pain killers? How come?"
The old fellow stared at me seemingly offended and replied,
"Because I'm a farmer, see?"

Thank you, Larry. They are indeed.
An odd thing happened to me this morning. When I woke, I had a little poem in my head. It only contains 40 words and is reminiscent of Spike Milligan's style.
Now I am wondering, have I read it somewhere or is this writing lark really getting inside my head?
I shall post it in due course and when I do I would be grateful if any of you have seen or heard it before, please tell me.
Any one join me in a double Espresso?

It depends on the movie. A really good one is better at the Theatre but the pleasure of watching a good movie at home is also intense considering the quality of modern TVs and surround sound systems.
WYR cry at real life movie story or a made up romantic weepy?

1986:
Chernobyl nuclear accident
A devastating environmental catastrophe occurred early this morning in 1986 when an explosion and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine released large amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere.
1937:
During the Spanish Civil War, the Condor Legion of the German air force, supporting the Nationalists, bombed the Basque city of Guernica, an event memorialized in Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica.
1933:
Hermann Göring formed the Gestapo, the political police of Nazi Germany that ruthlessly eliminated opposition and was involved in the roundup of Jews throughout Europe for deportation to extermination camps.
1607:
The first permanent English settlers in North America landed at Cape Henry, Chesapeake Bay, and they later formed Jamestown.

Today I took my 34 year old son to Hospital for an operation on his hand under general anaesthetic.
I was up at 5am and spent the day waiting at the hospital until he was released around 3pm.
It wasn't all bad, though. I got to spend some 6 hours in peaceful solitude with my laptop working on my latest chapter!

Warm Summer rain at any time of the day.
WYR A hot, airless summer day or a cool, crisp, clear winter day.

I am wondering why there is so much anger and sadness around at the moment.
