    I see the Tories are taking credit for boosting the economy.

    Yeah, Dave.

    That's like al-Qaida taking credit for boosting jobs in airport security.

    My mother is so strict, even before I was born she would tell me to tidy my womb.

    My girlfriend's cooking is horrible, but it improved a little bit when she figured out that the smoke alarm isn't a timer.

    I once met a blind Russian guy named Dmtr.

    That's Dimitri, but without the i's.

    First man: "I'll be at the mixed doubles this afternoon."

    Second man: "Ah! Wimbledon?"

    First man: "No, I'm a chronic alcoholic."

    Passengers at Stansted Airport have spoken of their terror when two Ryanair jets crashed into each other on the runway.

    One said, "It was terrifying. The wing tip of our plane was completely sheared off. We were scared we would go up in a ball of flames."

    It's a good job Ryanair only ever put about a tenner's worth of fuel in their planes, or else this could have been a disaster.

    The briefest of handshakes between David Cameron and Alex Salmond in Stirling yesterday.

    "Get the f.ck out of my country" ... they both said.

    According to the national sperm bank

    They obviously havn't been to number 10 Downing street recently then

      Good Monday morning Abbers,

      Not a drop of sunshine around these parts yet, oh well.
      It happens that I was married 41 years ago today on a very bright, sunny & hot last day of June. It's always been a non-event in our house, oh well :H

      Mick, glad to hear your foot is improving. Take care of it because you really will need it for your vacation
      Hope your kitchen job goes well today!

      Sam, sounds like you had a fun yet productive weekend.
      Hot & humid here as I'm sure it is where you are

      I definitely want to replant beets - not sure if they will hold up during the hottest part of the summer. Maybe I should wait a while & make them more of a Fall crop, hmm.

      Greetings to everyone else, hope you all have a great AF day!!!

      Lav
      AF since 03/26/09

          Checking in early as may not have another chance!
          Love beets too - need to plant a veggie garden - but just now Dot#1's tomatoes have grown into trees!
          Happy Anni Lav - hope the new arrangement is still working out?
          Mick - the three of us sat in the tasting room with our AF pinot noir in lovely glasses and felt really great - youngest said this tastes really good - is that what wine tastes like - and oldest answered - no, this is better as it has the taste with none of the alcohol! They thought AF drinking was fun and wnat uis to get a couple bottles for holidays - the winery didn't have any to sell It was a lovely day and I need to find a way to do this as Napa is really beautiful - we did get some funny looks, and the girls thought that was hilarious! They played spying the drunk driver on way home - good lesson as to what over indulging looks like!
          Hot today - 106! Glad you are getting some summer in good old UK.
          There was a bee guy at the festival yesterday but he was in the full sun for his talk and it was too much to listen to in that heat - I wished I could have listened to him...I told girls we would get a hive for the garden, but they didn't seem too keen on actually keeping bees in the back:H

            MAE - its Tuesday morning here (July now!) Lovely sunrise on the horizon.
            Mick - sounds like you are getting excited about the trip.
            Lav - not quite sure what to say about the anniversary but it sure is a long time. Hope yur day is going well.
            Pauly - I think you are not alone in hating Mondays. Although here in NZ many hairdressers are closed on Mondays (just like Europe).
            SL - I have a couple of small bottles of the more expensive AF wine in my cupboard but can't be bothered trying them. Part of me would rather have those calories as ice-cream instead and part of me does not want to taste anything that reminds me of wine. I just want to put those taste buds to rest. We have vineyards in very beautiful places here too but fortunately there are lots of other things nearby.
            OK - must dash and get ready for work

            Have a great AF day!! (or night).

              happy un-hung Monday ABeroooos!

              yep, 1st offer came in on the house but we're sitting tight. no showings yet today so it's almost peaceful for a Monday. gotta run up to Tahoe for work but it's a short pretty drive so all smiles here.

              I love the beauty of wine country and really appreciate it MUCH more AF. when i was doing my tasting thing some years ago it was always about racing to the next tasting room and sitting there like a moron trying to act sophisticated about what I was tasting....when in all honesty after the first tasting I might as well have been sipping nail remover as i wouldn't know the diff. crazy times. now I admire the lovely scenery, and the great restaurants. and yes....the occasional ice cream!

              a woman drowned this past weekend here in town in her own swimming pool. confirmed it was AL related. such a thief.....

              be well peeps

                Hi Mick...thanks for the kickstart, coffee and jokes. Friday will be here before you know it. Are they going to be able to work on the kitchen while you're gone? Good thing it was just a thought.

                Sam...Been hearing reports that the bee population is way down due to a type of pesticide used on corn crops. Got any corn crops near you? Sounds like you had a good weekend.

                Lav...hope the sun finally came out for you.

                Pauly...thought you said your cat took a dump on Saturday. :H Bummer about the fuel pump. Hope the rest of your day was ok.

                SL...what a good attitude your kids concerning AL. Sounds like you had a good day.

                TT...hope your July 1 day goes good. Why can't Canada Day fall on the first Monday of July. Had to work today but off tomorrow. Just feels weird.

                Det...the drive to Tahoe sounds lovely. It's one place I really want to see and not just driving past on the way to Vegas. Good luck with the house offers and you're right about sitting tight for awhile.

                Temps are rising and the community garden is growing. Now to get the berm moved! Thursday sees the start of the Calgary Stampede...10 days of non-stop drinking and partying. Even if you have to work there's no shortage of AL in the offices. Used to be a lot of fun in my 20's but now I just avoid everything. Have a great AF Monday evening (Tuesday day) all....PPQP

                  Just popping in as I had a bad morning at work. Really bad. A whole lot of energy and time I put into doing something recently is now being pulled. I can't really say much but I am doubting my ability in various ways - feeling hurt - and wondering WTF. I know I have heaps to be grateful for but my professional abilities mean a lot to me.
                  Have I lost my mojo since I stopped drinking? Talked it over with my partner and he says thats ridiculous - that various set-backs are due to factors and people outside my control. And of course AL would only make it worse.

                  Not tempted to drink but feeling miserable about stuff.

                    :l sorry you're feeling miserable but perhaps the "powers that be" need to me more "definitive" in their expectations.

                        TT - we all seem to have these down periods and I know I did not like mine - had the feeling that once I stopped drinking, it would solve all my problems and make everything better. At some level it makes things worth because we actually feel. I am sorry you are down, and I hope you get an upswing really soon....ensure you find some time in your chaotic, busy life to slow down even for a few moments to engage with yourself - yoru posts are a lot about work, partner and daughter - ensure you get some time too:l:l
