Today is the first day of Spring and I’d love to be able to tell you that’s it’s a lovely bright spring day outside but alas it‘s far from it, it‘s dull and overcast with some very dark looking rain clouds heading our way, although rain would be a good thing.

The South East of England has had two consecutive winters with below-average rainfall. The period between November 2004 and January 2006 was the driest for more than 80 years.  Many areas in the South East of England have a hose pipe ban in place and many more areas are planning to introduce one soon. We desperately need some rain here in England.

I’m feeling a bit out of salts this morning, I’m not quite sure why. As some of you know I’m on a diet at the moment, so far I’ve lost 10LB (curtsy) I’m doing pretty well and I’m being good   but I think sometimes it catches up with me and my blood sugar levels drop too low and it makes me feel nauseas and headachy, think I might go and have myself a bowl of porridge in a minute, that usually does the trick, it fills me up but there’s not too many calories in it.

My arm is really painful this morning as well. The magnetic bracelet that I had high hopes for doesn’t seem to be doing anything at all to help although they say it has to be worn for 2 - 3 months before you see results and I’ve only been wearing mine for about 6 weeks, but ….. we have since been told that a bracelet is only good for mild pain and general well being, for acute pain I need a strong magnetic right on the source of the pain - so says this other company who just happen to market these kind of magnets.

Who knows? I don’t know, but I’m willing to try anything.

Funny For Today

"I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all
to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the
neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."

"Not to worry," Jack said, "we'll be happy to sleep in the barn, and if the
weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.

The lady agreed and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in
for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared and they got on their
way and enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It
took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it
was from the attorney of that attractive widow he met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked: "Bob, do you remember that
good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north."

"Yes, I do."

"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house
and have sex with her?"

"Yes," he said, a little embarrassed about being found out, "I have to
admit that I did."

"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"

Bob's face turned red and he said, "Yeah, sorry buddy, I'm afraid I did.
Why do you ask?"

"No need to apologize, Bob. She just died and left me everything!
