See on railings in Cracoe, Yorkshire. I wonder who lives there?

I can think of a fair number of women who would probably be as well/ better off with a (certain genre of) book...

Did see a video recently (I forget the context, but I think the creator was somewhere on the MRA scene) where the suggestion was made that if women were going to withhold "marital rights" for leverage, perhaps men should do the same. The overwhelming response was that a lot/ most men would perhaps find they didn't have the leverage they expected...

That has put an awful image in my mind of which villager would be demonstrating that alternative definition!

I think I might go away for the bank holiday!

Not many things actually make me LOL, but this did.

Wed pm clinic this week.

1st client " some of my dogs ( singular) testicles haven't descended yet!". How many were they expecting

3rd client greeted with " and what is the trouble with Daisy " responded with " gosh look at your hair "

4th client brought their mother's dog as the one with the skin condition was too old and cross to travel and they could show me on the surrogate dog where the itch was

5th when asked if bitch was spayed and when last season was had to phone home after some considerable delay of about 10 min conversation whilst I paced cheerfully informed me that yes she had been to the groomers

I think it might be the most upper middle class village in the UK!

Very amusing Arlo - although in defence of whoever spelt dying incorrectly in this case English can be a very awkward language to get to grips with - perhaps it should be "dyeing" for the cloth and "dieing" for when we pass on. I have to say that you have a very sophisticated looking fete in Mells.

Read this poster carefully, and you’ll see that there’s a rather interesting demonstration of a traditional skill here at the Mells Village Fete next weekend.

I can’t wait. I wonder who’s doing the demo.

Now that really is what you might call a fete worse than death.

It'll be very obvious to all who the men are in the diving competitions when stood on the diving board - even if dressed in a woman's bathing costume.

Gosh - I wonder what happened there.

Hahaha. Very good, although I'm not sure Catholic priests have the monopoly.

Not sure that this is the correct place to post this but as I will shortly be leaving the Falkland Islands for good and retiring back to the UK I thought I'd give you a final flavour of the Islands which have been my home for the past 20 years. Last Friday I was lucky enough to fly to Saunders Island for my final visit to one of my favourite places in the Falklands. The flight out was amazing - clear and sunny on East Falkland but low cloud over the West so the pilot and i had to look for a break in the cloud cover to safely come down from 2,500ft to reach the airstrip at Roy Cove. It was a very skillful bit of flying. En route out we had touched down on the beach at Pebble Island because the grass strip was too wet. The beach was also wet but once the tide had gone out the sand was good and firm. My main reason for visiting Saunders Island was to say a final goodbye to a work colleague and vert good friend who died of cancer last year and is buried in the small graveyard in her home settlement. While on the Island I paid a visit to the original British settlement int he Falkland Islands at Port Egmont and thought you might like to see what it actually consists of. The British established a post here in 1759 at about the same time as the French were doing likewise at Port Louis on East Falkland. The British deserted Port Egmont in 1765 and the French also left Port Louis and that is when the Spanish came in - renaming Port Louis as Puerto Soledad. Of course, Argentina didn't exist as an independent nation until the early part of the 19th century. The British reclaimed the Islands in 1833 having first laid claim to them in 1759. You can read all about it on the plaque which was erected at Port Egmont in 1995.

I thought the best way to announce Julian Earl's first appearance on my podcast would be to post here. Because I think it will make you smile.

I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did recording.

My brother chides me for not reading a daily newspaper. Today I received this email from him:

You really should read the newspaper. Today there are pictures of:
1) the post office in Ireland where some chaps went to collect a friend's pension, and when they were told that friend had to be there in person they went and fetched him but were still refused his pension because he was dead; and
2) views of a smiling puffer fish in Kent before and after a vet had sawn her teeth in half (sic) because they had grown too long.
