Who?
My fair or rather foul weather friends---the birds!! No pun intended!!
After several weeks of hardly seeing any they are back with a vengeance. All sorts although strangely the blackbirds have not appeared yet.
Yesterday a whole "flock" (I don't think that is the correct term) of starlings between 20 to 30 strong descended on my bird feeder. It looked like a rugby scrum!! Just wish I had my camera handy.
Costing me a fortune in bird food! Still well worthwhile seeing tem.
Thought for today: Are you enjoying nature?
Joke for today:- What would Geronimo shout if he jumped out of a plane?
On this day: 22nd November
In 1963 President Kennedy was assassinated.
In 1718 the notorious pirate Blackbeard was killed
In 1943 Billie Jean King was born and in 1967 Boris Becker enterred the world.

Why do people quit too easily?
Hi there,
Whilst swimming yesterday I was musing about some of the other people who go swimming on a regular basis.
I have been going regularly twice a week for over three years to my local swimming pool but cannot recall anyone else who has also been going there so long.
There are a few people that have been going for some time but most seem to come along and swim seriously for 2 or 3 weeks then completely disappear never to be seen again.
Obviously some of these people may have moved, gone elsewhere etc but most just quit.
The same thing seems to happen with starting most projects. There is a lot of initial enthusiasm which after a while wanes. I suppose it is because we all expect instant gratification these days.
Thought for today: Do you have the stamina to keep going especially if things get tough?
Joke for today:- What's the use of happiness. It can't buy you money.
On this day:- 19th November
In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Cape Cod.
In 1828 Franz Schubert died.

Ouch! Having to pay out again
Hi there,
I've just had to pay out £1200 to have the damp sorted out at my property in Sunderland. It's
cost me a fortune this year. A pity really since we had to decorate earlier but hopefully the damp
proofing will not mean too much redecorating. Still you can't expect tenants to live with damp
walls.
I hope the 30 year guarantee won't be needed!
Yesterday I watched an interesting new video from John Assaraf about changing your life. Very good.
Thought for today:- Are you enjoying life? If not why not?
Joke for today: A man walks into the doctors. I haven't seen you for ages says the doctor. I know replies the man I've been ill.
On this day:- 17th November
In 1796 Catherine the Great died
In 1558 Queen Mary Tudor died
In 1869 The Suez Canal opened.

The Loughborough Fair
Yep it's that time again.
Every year around armistace day we have the annual fair come to Loughborough. Doh! If it's annual it will come every year!!
Yesterday when I went swimming I watched the staff putting up the rides. It was very windy and I was very impressed how they went about it.
The whole of the centre of Loughborough is cordoned off and some very big rides are set up.
It's amazing how technology has brought about even bigger and more complicated rides each year. The cost of some of them must be in the millions bracket.
Still at least we still have the coconut shies etc for the oldies like me!!
Hey what am I talking about I'm not old just a mature youngster.
There have been some very interesting developments in mynetbiz with some exciting new products about to be launched.
Watch this space!!
Thought for today; I hope you are keeping up with all the new technologies coming forth. Great isn't it? I hope you think so.
Joke for today: Did you hear about the new "divorced" Barbie doll? It comes with all Ken's stuff.
On this day:- 12th November
In 1847 the first public demonstration of a new anaesthetic was given in by Sir James Simpson, Professor of Midwifery at the University of Edinburgh. It's common name? chloroform.
In 1660 John Bunyan was jailed for preaching without a licence.
In 1929 Grace Kelly was born
In 1944 the German battleship Tirpitz was sunk by the RAF
Cheers

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
In 1980 John Lennon was murdered in New York
In 1941 Britain, Australia and the USA declared war on Japan.

Whats in a name?
Hi there
Got thinking about names again today.
When I was at school (back in the dark ages!) we always had nicknames for the teachers and most of our fellow prisoners oops sorry pupils.
In fact I was always called Percy or Perce. I don't know why but even today if I ran into anyone I knew from school they would call me Perce as I don't think they ever knew me as John. Strange isn't it?
Actually if you had a certain surname then you would be likely to be called by the first name associated with that name. For example all Wilsons were called Tug, Clarks were always Nobby, Frosts were Dusty etc.
You don't find that now do you. I wonder why not? Answers on a postcard please!!
Listened to a great Webinar this evening from the six figure mentors group of which I am a member. Very interesting. Will help me with my internet business no end.
Thought for today: What have you learned new today?
Joke for today:- Here's to alcohol-the cause of and the sokution to all of life's problems. Homer Simpson

Being a true Brit
When it was Chris's birthday I bought him a card about being a true Brit.
We both thought it was very funny. Hope you do too.
Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of an ice skating rink.
and finally:-
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish Pub for a Belgian beer then on the way home grabbing an Indian curry or a Chinese takeaway, then sitting on your Swedish furniture watching American t.v show on a Japanese television.
What is so funny about it is that it is sooo true!
I think that this is a hang over from the Empire days when we got used to everything foreign.
Still at least we can laugh at ourselves!
Thought for today. Can you laugh at yourself?
Joke for today: Why was the Egyptian girl worried? Because her daddy was a mummy!
On this day 18th October
In 1989 San Francisco suffered an earthquake.
In 1922 The BBC was formed.
In 1931 Thomas Edison died
Best wishes
