Lockdown Day 18
It's Easter Sunday and the Vicar next door is holding a Service in his front garden today.
Plenty of input still trickling in and it is much appreciated.... Clive as usual finds the unusual...
how do they find men to do this sort of work ?
Police said "This must be The last Supper...OK "
Bad news for Barry who sent in this shot of his driveway...No Bins tomorrow as it is a Bank Holiday....
From Trev D =- It's important to time those little Nags correctly....

We promised you the answers to the blanks Quiz - didi anyone match the Colyford Clever-Dicks with 100 % ?
Dave - still awaiting answer to the Witch with Wands Maths Question, Farmer Bob thinks it's 109.....
Third row middle 2 x brooms and last row 2 x wands
As such
Broom = 3
Wand = 7
Witch = 5
3 + (5x14)=73
Please don't shoot the messenger.
Like my golf ,maths was never my strong point.....
Malcom & Jill Roy are starting to contribute...."We are well looked after by Antony and a neighbour who is part of the Chard support group.
This leaves us free to exercise in the fabulous countryside on our door step. Trouble is our radius is increasing by the day much against government guidelines.
Hope you are all well and adjusting to the isolation.
Stay safe.
Regards
Malcolm
Roger is using the time wisely and has his target clearly indicated on the Amazon boxes...
Few Saturday Updates..first an intriguing call from Farmer Bob..has what has he got ?
Bob & Margaret phoned this morning again and reeled off every answer to the 'Blanks' quiz word perfect.
He confided that he had paced the patio in the east orchard and covered 1.3 Miles, but whilst hiking he witnessed a drama in the house opposite in Colyford...
Resident :- Man 90+ and Infirm Wife with resident Carer.
09:17 - Ambulance arrives and removes Man from Home.
10:18 Hospital Van returns Man, barely walking and heavily assisted by 2 Men who laboriously just get him to front door met by Wife's Carer.
12:14- Ambulance arrives and man taken away once more !
Looks like someone made a bad call and the Carer was not a Happy Easter Bunny !
Bob & Margaret doing well, but not left home once.
The next one is from over the Hill at Chaffcombe and I have to warn you it contains a reference to an area in China call "Foo King" ( Land of the Kings talcum-powder ) which may sound much like an Anglo-Saxon word used in the Crewkerne area...
Then back to the Canine World and a great little Pointer...
Thanks Ed...

so pleased when she tells Danny that she had got the same price that he had told
her what he paid for them.
A few topics to avoid when at home for long periods together.... My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' ... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... ________________________________ I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... _____________________________ My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... ________________________________ _____________________________ My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started... ________________________________ Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started... _______________________________ My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...... ______________________________ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... ________________________________ My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." And then the fight started........ ________________________________ I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started. ________________________________ One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started.
This one will probably get someone locked up in the Tower...

Some of you will notice we have added a number to the Lockdown Days...can you work out why a particular day was chosen for the chains to be loosened..I think it will be too hard for them to resist.
Amazing what looks like it will change for the future. Big winners will be these on-line Pharmacies such as www.pharmacy2u.co.uk -who take care of all your prescriptions and deliver to your door.
We are getting Meat Deliveries from Barley Mow and a new one West Country Butchers who will delivery - can give more details if required.
Let's start the day with a really clever one that caught my fancy, send in by Maurice Arnold who has been enrolled on a Technology Course by June to keep him busy...
I liked that one.
Dave has sent us the Answers to the 'Fill the Blanks' quiz - but we'll give you till Sunday to finish it...
Sugar, got the first one wrong as I had Dwarves in a Wonderland from Alice and the Seven Dwarves...

..and he's still Rambling...
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting
to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the car, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. ( (DM) Had a nice note from Sir Trevor Dobson ( has new Email) and he sent us some clips to use. OK, just one more then it's outside for the next 10 Hours.. I saw right through this one... ..please keep them coming..... Trevor is on dobsontrevor@gmail.com  Broadwindsor Easter Bunny Have to stop now, work to do. |
