Geography Degree

Son-blog was just on the phone asking for thoughts on a topic for a geography assignment. After five minutes chatting with an 'O' level grade D geography student (me) he talked himself in to "going down the glaciology route."

He might be on a slippery slope :-)

Text Problems

Lately Mrs Blog has discovered new tech skills which she is applying to her smart phone. The manifestation of these skills is a daily text to my mobile with my horoscope for the day ahead. Since the text has a lot of content it arrives in bits and pieces on my old Nokia handset leading to occasional confusion.

Today I received two texts as follows,

"txt ,missing...bad is waiting for you...txt missing"

"txt missing ...is there a bogeyman hiding under you...txt missing"

I checked and there was no bogeyman hiding under me so I am waiting to see if the same level of accuracy will apply to the first part of the text. If there are no posts for a while you can draw your own conclusions!

Ukrainian fans

One of the features of this blog is that I can identify by country and by post, where and what is being read in the world of inane drivel.

In the last week I seem to have attracted a large following in Ukraine and they seem to be reading Unexplained Mysteries -

This was a post about yoghurt and a trip to London. With everything else that is going on in Ukraine it is heartening that some of its residents have devoted their time to reading the post. I hope one of the readers might put up a comment and explain... why?

(Perhaps they have the answer to the strawberry yoghurt mystery???)

Unexplained mysteries

Last night I was in Aberdeen visiting Daughter-Blog. At the start of the evening I told her of a trip I took to London about thirteen years ago. I was waiting in the queue to check in at B.A. at 5.00a.m. (in the days before online check in) and there was a guy in front of me who was asked whether or not he had any food items in his hand luggage.
"Yes," he replied, and proceeded to take out sixteen pots of strawberry yoghurt. It raises a few questions...

1. Was he going to eat all the yoghurt on a one hour flight?
2. If not why take it on the flight?
3. Was there a likelihood of a London yoghurt shortage at that time of the morning?
4. Why all strawberry?
5. What is wrong with other flavours?

Daughter-blog then added ....

"I had yoghurt in my handbag once!"

"How did that happen?" I asked.

"I sneezed!"

I can only cope with so many yoghurt mysteries so I didn't ask!!

Mustard makes a contribution

About four months ago we acquired three bantam hens named Custard, Mustard and Flustered.

Custard, being older has been laying pretty well since settling all those months ago. Yesterday, Mustard joined the party with a half-hearted effort.
