Scooby in the Scooby room - so called because of the Jacobean wooden panelling that makes you want to press each panel to see if there's a secret compartment behind.

“We learned a lot and lost a lot of sleep.”
Mabel Smith

College day. I really did not want to get out of my pit this morning but the thought of our jolly outing to Lytham Hall motivated me to get myself up and out the door.
The Hall was an amazing Georgian edifice at the front but some parts of it were far older. In need of extensive renovation and restoration the Hall is a Grade 1 listed building and just waiting for the go ahead for a 3yr programme of restoration which should start in March next year.
We learned about some of the structural aspects of the Hall, it's decor and most interestingly for me about Harry Clifton. Harry had been a bit of a rake and gambled away much of the family money in the first part of the 20th Century.
I hope to spend some time volunteering at the Hall for my work placement this year. I'd like to get involved with tour guiding and working with kids groups.

A good time was had by all!

So, Tuesdays (and Thursdays) are Pulmonary Rehab clinic for the next six weeks.

I'm the youngest (by 15yrs) and the fittest of the group, which I give thanks for each time I attend. I'm so glad I have 50% lung function. The guy I went round the circuit with today was carrying an oxygen tank. I gave thanks that I managed to give up smoking before the oxygen thang happened to me. We have an hour of 'interesting stuff' about our lungs and their condition and we have an hour or stretching and exercise. I'm amazed at how little the folks in my group know about their condition and how little they exercise. The circuit we do is hard work and it makes me breathless, but that's what it's meant to do.

Beautiful Views
 

Between 2005-2007, I had the opportunity to provide active duty support for the AF Security Forces. I wanted to share, what I was able to see on a daily basis for over 2 years. These views are of the Pacific Ocean, and encompass over 30 miles of open and unobstructed views.

“Look in a mirror and one thing's sure; what we see is not who we are.”
Richard Bach

I met the Fag Father for a drink when he finished work. We decided that we'd try the new Wetherspoon's pub, The Layton Rakes, which opened yesterday. What I like about 'Spoons is they don't play music which means that conversations are easy to have, unlike in many bars and pubs where one has to shout to be heard. The decor was cool, with many Blackpool related items. I couldn't resist my selfie today being with this 'fun house' mirror.

“Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.”
C.S. Lewis

I've had a crap day. Felt rotten but had quite a few things to do. I had an invite from one of my college colleagues to attend a quiz night at the Salt and Light cafe which was being run by his church this evening. I hemmed and hawed about whether to go. I so glad I did.

I stopped going to church a few years ago and allowed my faith to hide it's light under the proverbial bushel.
There are people who come into our lives for a reason and I believe Paul is one of those people for me. His faith shines out of him and I remember how that used to feel. I believe I'm being encouraged back into the flock, well actually more like being dragged kicking and screaming - ever the Drama Princeling!

The quiz was really hard but we ended on a high note with some big scoring rounds and managed to come in a creditable third out of 10.

“A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.”
Bruce Lee

Just as I was about to go meet the Fag Father for a liquids, food and a bitching session, as is our wont on a Friday evening, I got a plaintive call from Tinkerbell asking if I fancied a brew and a short session of 'body-guarding' her as a particular visitor was on his way to see her. This visitor has sorta declared his interest in Tinks so whilst he is still welcome to visit she prefers someone to be there when he is. So I tillopped (a Tinks word) on round there for a brew. I was only there for half an hour until young Zacharius arrived home to take over sentry duty.

These Snowy Egrets are my walking companions this time of year.

When they are not all hunched up and cold like this yesterday, they fluff up their mohawks.
They also have bright yellow shoes. :)

Punk rockers of the crane world.

Today I was amazed to see a large flock of Great White Pelicans (there must have been at least 100) feeding on a school of fish. It was right outside my window. They were all bunched together and it seemed like they were herding them to the shore. I was absolutely fascinated and watched them for at least an hour. Wow! I love Texas, it is paradise. Here is a picture similiar to what I saw. I do not have a camera but am planning on getting one soon. I have seen so many wonderful incredible sights here. Right now I am looking at great big puffs of black clouds hanging over the horizon. We just had some thunderstorms.

*Potion no. 9* | Love on the Rocks
 

I’m long over due and I’m coming out slowly onto the dance floor: I’m a lovely reservoir of enchanting, mesmerizing, breath-taking, haltingly beautiful ideas that hopefully will bring you hours of pleasure (the best mind blowing sex you’ve ever had)!

I’ll begin by letting you in on a little secret of mine: I love rocks, hunting for rocks or sitting on rocks and baking like a snake in the hot summer sun, but I just love rocks of all kinds (types) and because I share an affinity for rocks, my favorite idea for the best sex ever is called Love on the Rocks!


Love on the Rocks could literally happen during any part of the day or night. It’s this crazy hot energy that’s coursing between the two of us and all I want you to do is fuck my brains out! And you will. It feels like it will be a five-day night: you, me, trees everywhere, rope, blankets, binoculars and your cockacidal brains. Because we were smart enough to pick a place in the middle of nowhere, we’ll have all the time in the world to just get naked with the truth. We’ll be on fire. Do you hear incoming bombs? Take cover – we’ll explode together soon.

“Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.”
Ovid

In the last six months I've had to give in and wear my specs most of the time. I have long sight so can cycle sans specs but pretty much everything else requires the goggles. Half of me is horrified by this turn of events, I've always been so lucky and not needed my specs apart from once in a while when tired. However, if I want to see properly I must give in to the ageing process become Spectacle Chap.

aaaaw. i know having to wear them all the time is a pain....but at least you look good bespectacled! :winky:

Fun with Photoshop filters.

you're welcome! that buck-toothed bespectacled smilie at the end made me :giggle: it is entirely inaccurate! i think we need to ask the powers that be for some sexy bespectacled smilies!

I think Gemme was just suggesting you share YOU! She wasn't being negative, she was being encouraging of you. A positive thing.

right??!!?
