Hi there,
I got thinking this morning as I wearily raised myself from my bed in my nice warm bedroom about when I was a boy.
In my parents house, well bungalow actually, we only had a coal fire in the living
room so the other rooms got very cold. In fact in the morning we had to scrape the frost and ice off the INSIDE of the windows of the bedrooms.
We did in fact have fireplaces in the bedrooms but just after the war we could not afford to keep a fire in all of them. In fact when I was ill one time my father got a shovel and put the living room fire into a bucket and moved it to my bedroom in the evening.
So we are really blessed to have the benefits of central heating in most properties today.
Thought for today:- Do you appreciate the modern appliances we now have?
Joke for today:- Little boy to grandfather: Are you still growing grandpa? No I don't think so. Why? Boy: It's just that the top of your head is coming through your hair
On this day:- December 8th

The leaves are falling
Hi friends,
Well autumn is definitely here now (or fall as our American friends would say)
Interestingly most people assume that fall is an American term when in fact I believe it is olde English. So the English changed their term and not the other way round.
Actually I was listening once to an expert on language who said that if Shakespeare can back from the dead he would be more at home with the American accent then the English since it is the latter that has changed over time and not the American.
Mind you there are so many different dialects anyrate and presumably Shakespeare would have spoken with a Brummie (from Birmingham) accent
I listened to a Webinar the other day given by yournetbiz and they have a very exciting new product coming on to the market shortly so watch this space.
Internet marketing is developing at a fantastic rate now. Difficult to keep up with it!!
Thought for today:- Are you keeping up with things and developing yourself or are you stagnating?
Joke for today:- Some cause happiness wherever they go: somewhenever they go. Oscar Wilde
On this day:- 8th November
