And so the cycles starts again.

A cold Monday morning its 0530 and Bells decided she wanted to go out into the garden for a sniff around, but I didn't know that was all at the time, oh well I am up now and there is no chance of me getting back to sleep the head is wide awake. A busy day for this man today as new set of workers starting down Kate's and I have the chaps coming to do the bathroom here, but come Wednesday I get a couple of days rest in hospital, then come home to be pampered for a short time as will have to take it steady for a short while. Anyway seeing I am here I was thinking about this elderly farmer who lived by my cousin in Florida.

He had this large pond in one of the fields and it was in the shape of a of a swimming pool so he had the builders in and turned it into one, and it really looked good.

One day he thought he would walk over to check it out and on the way he thought would go through the orchard and collect a bucket of apples to make some cider. As he approached the pool he heard laughter and giggling (morning Lyn) and there in the pool were 6 or 7 young ladies skinny dipping. When they saw the farmer the went to the far end and one said "We are not coming out naked whilst you are here, go away"

The old farmer holding the bucket of apples up high said " I have not come here to see you naked girls I have only come to feed my Alligator."

Its just goes to show we old men can think fast.

Have a good day and keep smiling xxxFred :) ;)

I was sleeping ( yea ) until my cat jumped on me from the top of the wardrobe..... He is definitely in my bad books now.

You say your in hospital on Wednesday,I don't know why but whatever the reason I hope all goes well for you.

The joke this morning... As always Fred is brilliant. Where do you get them ? We are lucky to have you making many of us start the day with a smile.

Hope your building works comes to an end soon. Love and hugs Sheila.xxx

You are funny Fred! I swear you make them up yourself out of pure delivement!

Have you got a new gang of workers today? Hope they are as good as the others. Sounds like you might have been an MP at some time during your career in the navy so you'll have no problem sorting them.

Sunny here and warm in the sun. Woopee!

Have a good day Fred. xx

The painter is going great guns and the tiler comes tomorrow, then the plumber, also at the same time the other crew from another company are working in my bathroom, all fun and games. I was a submariner Chief Petty Officer hydraulic's man nothing to do with the MP side of life, in fact we never carried MP's on board, but a Coxswain. Keep smiling. xxx :)

Love the jokes as usual Fred :) I didn't sleep well either because I woke up with a start having an asthma attack! It was frightening as usual and I didn't dare try and sleep again until I got my breathing back under control, so am knackered now.

I hope everyone else had a better start to their day. x
