A watering nightmare

Some animal funnies

This cat's got talent

The audio on this video was cleverly added and the result is quite hilarious.

Enjoy!

No matter what

My sister sent me this photo, a favourite of hers, and now mine too...

Sister Mary Katherine

View sent us this very funny joke. Thanks, View!

Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.

 

The Priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so."

 

Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words."

 

Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."

 

"I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a better bed."

 

After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was summoned by the Priest. "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine."

 

"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.

 

On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine in to his office. "You may say two words today."

 

"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.

 

"It's probably best," said the Priest, "You've done nothing but bitch since you got here." 

Some groaners for the weekend

Road kill, the latest in hair fashion!

Today's post is a bit earlier than usual because I'm blogging from the iPad and can't schedule the post for later. We're about to leave the house, as Peter has a medical appointment in Tulle.

Now, this guy is taking hair fashion to extremes, eh?

Say cheese!

Tumbleweed misbehaves again

I wonder if TW will require the cute firemen to wear kilts?

Sitting on a book

Amy found a very interesting article about fifty "book benches" that will be installed in London to promote reading. It's called "Books About Town." After the event, the benches will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to the National Literacy Trust. The artwork was executed by various artists and each is a masterpiece.

Here are some examples of benches, which I found by googling, inspired by Amy's email. Thanks so much, Amy, the whole thing is delightful!

We could play a little game, where you try to identify the books or authors and I'll update the post later by adding captions to each picture and also give you the link to the article so you can see all the benches. Ready?

Dr Seuss - Theodore Seuss Geisel

Sherlock Holmes stories - Sir Arthur Cowan Doyle

The Railway Children - E. Nesbit

How to Train You Dragon - Cressida Cowell

Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll

The Gruffalo - Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffer

Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Verne

Bridget Jones Diary - Helen Fielding

Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf

1984 - George Orwell

On the Origin of Species - Charles Darwin

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

War Horse - Michael Morpurgo

The benches will be all over London and can be seen here: Books About Town
