Quote of the weekend:

“I love our regiment … where else in the army could you say ‘What ever floats your boat sir’ to a colonel and get a way with it?” – Me.

Frustration of the weekend:

‘Birdland’ is not an appropriate tune to open a mess dinner with.

There you have it.

David is sitting here singing the following song to the tune of Rawhide …

“Blogging blogging blogging

Keep that weblog blogging

(Looking over at me reaching for the “Post link)

Please don’t write about this

Richard!”

Got back today from lunch with L. It was (and still is) a beautiful day so we sat in the rear courtyard and chatted as people one by one took the remaining chairs at our table.

Sushi was on the menu for L whilst I had a vegetarian quiche which quite frankly would have been better if it had some ham in it.

After lunch I returned to some photos I’ve been working on.

Quote from lunch:

R – “Do you want a slerf (meaning to say slurp)? … what the hell is a slerf?”

L – “It’s a combination of a slurp and a smurf, it’s a small slurp, and it’s blue!”

You’ve got to admire a thought process like that … and the impressive speed in which she answered.

Hope you are all having a good day/night and I’ll get back to you soon.

“Email is stupid … which reminds me, I need to send an email.” – Mum

I always encourage independant thinking and problem solving in those around me.

David was having trouble uploading a photo to his flickr account this morning and it kept on failing. David’s ideas and comments about this.

“Perhaps if I waggle the mouse it will load faster? Michael told me it would!”

“Perhaps flickr doesn’t like the photo?”

“Perhaps the photo has a bump in the middle that it gets to and stops?”

Oh dear.
