Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.

“Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?” I asked.

Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favourite topic of conversation.

She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Centre and hang out with the guys.

I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her.

I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club.

She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 78 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of air-planes?"

I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.

She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses?!

This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"Oh man, I'm in trouble again,” I said, “I really don't know what to do. I signed up for five jumps a week!!"

The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.

Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.

Went out the other morning before dawn in the hope of capturing a misty sunrise. However the mist kept rolling down the valley getting denser and denser, though quite low level. When the camera became dripping with condensation / dew, decided to pack up and go home. Did get this image though, albeit it is "HDR'd"


A very mystical shot I love it

Good work and you are not a "simple" Simon

A PERFECT VILLAGE SUNDAY IN ENGLAND
1- Early in the morning, wander down the village to get The Sunday papers, passing through the 1000 year old Church yard.
2- Down through the dew drenched meadow at the back of the churchyard soaked in the early morning Spring misty sunshine
3 & -4- Stroll back along the high street enjoying the centuries old cottages with their quintessential English Cottage Gardens showing signs of blooming into full summer glory.
5- & 6 Take a short cut through the ancient woodlands with the ground carpeted with Wild Garlic
7 & 8 After a good pub plowman's lunch settle down on the Village Green and watch the local team and the team from the next village playing a game of Cricket
9- After the game has finished wander home past the old church at the other end of the village
For me it’s perfect English Sunday
