A lovely warm summers day today. I took Owen my scatty English Springer Spaniel for a walk through the local fields. We are very lucky where we live because there are many large fields close by all within walking distance so we can get plenty of exercise. Surprisingly there never seem to be many people around so it is very relaxing especially as Owen can be a bit of a handful. I have had him nearly a year now and I am no nearer getting him trained than I was at the beginning. (Bad workmen always blame their tools!) Seriously though I have tried but just don't seem to get it right. I think he has got me better trained.
Sue (the better half) went running today or rather walking fast she tells me at Loughborough University. There were around 3000 women taking part in the "race for life" a run/walk to raise money for the Breast Cancer Charity. She told me how sad but interesting it was to read comments the ladies had on their backs remembering their love ones who had suffered from this terrible disease.
I read up today some more information on Ezines and in particular Solo Ads for my internet business YourNetBiz.com as so far my efforts have not been to rewarding by having few visits to my website www.ezinternettraining.com . Obviously I will have to improve my internet marketing!! I will get there!
Thought for today: Count your blessings. My mother always used to point out that there is always someone worse of than yourself.
Joke for today: Doctor doctor I keep seeing images of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
I see, and how long have you had these Disney spells?
On this day: June 14th. In 1645 Oliver Cromwell inflicted a heavy defeat on the Royalists at the battle of Naseby during the Engish Civil War
In 1982 British Forces regained the Falklands from the Argentinians.
Have fun. Go chase de rabbits

Life is grand
Hi
Great day again today. Well I'm still alive so it must be!
I've got a solo ad for www.ezinternettraining.com being promoted on an ezine tomorrow so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well.
Had a bit of bad news though as my son-in-law Paul has had to go into hospital again. I hope he will soon be better. He and my daughter Elizabeth have not had much luck lately so I'm hoping this will change for them soon because they deserve some good times.
I went and had my hair cut today. What happened to the old "short back and sides"? Now all done by numbers. Seems everything is a number these days.
Joke for today:- Oscar night at my house is known as Passover (Bob Hope)
Thought for today:- Eliminate your most self-defeating belief
On this day: June 9th In 1870 Charles Dickens died of a stroke
In 1951 the last Nuremberg Nazi hanged
Be happy.

A Wet Sunday Afternoon
Well haven't we had a lot of rain this weekend! We needed the rain but this was ridiculous.
Still I've now got my first solo ad for submission to the ezines. I didn't write it but got a professional to do it. This is for my www.ezinternettraining.com website. I also obtained a classified ad for this site so fingers crossed I should be in business.
I think I have eventually got the order with Dixons sorted out. I still can't fathom out what was wrong as there was certainly enough money in the account.
The roses in my garden are really looking great this year. Maybe the harder winter than usual has had something to do with it as they are blooming away much more prefusely now.
I had problems with coooking the meat today. Chris bought a large joint of beef but we are having trouble with the oven door. Sometimes for no apparent reason it comes slightly open and therefore shuts off. Happened this morning but I don't know for how lomg. When I went to carve I found it was quite bloody inside so had to cook it for a bit longer.
Joke for today: Two aerials met on a roof, fell in love andgot married. The ceremony was rubbish but the reception was brilliant,
Thought for today: Half the people in Hollywood are dying to be discovered, the other half are afraid they will be. Ethyl Barrymore
On this day: June 7th. Robert de Bruce Scottish king famous for winning the Battle of Bannockburn died in 1329
1982. Graceland home of Elvis Presley opened to the public for the first time.
Owen the mad English Spaniel needs his walk so that,s all folks.
See ya

Hi there
My problems from yesteday continued today! For some reason the freezer I ordered for one of my rental apartments was not accepted because of a card problem. I'm still trying to sort out because I used a debit card and there is more than enough money in the account. Expect it will be sorted soon. Famous last words!
Went to my opticians today for routine check up. I will get some new glasses although eyes are quite good. Whilst I was in there the optician told me about an organisation for retired people that her mother belongs to so I looked them up on the internet. They are called u3a (University of 3rd age/ Looks really interesting and I was quite surprised a how large the organisation is. I will probably join as I am a yap (young age pensioner)
Does any one else have the same problem I do? That is when typing on the keyboard I keep pressing the caps lock in error. very annoying. Seems a silly place for it or is it just me?
I have again been trying out ezines for my www.ezinternettraing.com website. Amazing how much help and informationthere is out there. Whatever did we do before the internet? Exciting isn't it
I ordered some roses from one of my favourite rose growers David Austin(R). I went and looked around there nursery a year or so back. It was very interesting when they told me all about how new roses are developed. They are based in Albrighton Nr Wlverhampton WV7 3HB. If you are interested then visit their website at www.davidaustinroses.com.
On this day: June 5th In 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot
In 1916 Kitchener best remembered for his World War One leadership drowned when the ss Hampshire sank after hitting a mine
Joke of the day: Did you hear about the overeight ballerina? She had to wear a three three.
Thought for today: For we that can see. Do we give enough gratitude for our eyesight?
See you
Go chase the rabbits.

Hi
Going to start with a moan today. I have been using my debit card to make some purchases on line for my website http://www.ezinternettraining.com/ and for one of my apartments I own.
Because of this I had Barclays Bank security ring up to confirm that I had, in fact made these purchases. Fair enough. It is good that these checks are in place. However my moan is that the gentleman who rang up was obviously a foreigner. No I'm not racist and have no objections to foreigners having jobs but why oh why do they have to be in positions where clarity of language is so important. Frankly I couldn't understand what he was talking about. Admittedly my hearing is not what it was but when I handed the phone to my son he couldn't understand either,
Enough of my rant.
I'm still looking up about cannabis. The cannabis smoke deposits about 3 to 5 times more carbon monoxide and tar on the lungs than tobacco smoke. And people say cannabis is not dangerous!

The cannabis saga continued
Hi all
I'm still interested in why people take cannabis and so I am continuing my education! Theoretical not practical!
There are serious health risks from smoking cannabis and none of the 7000 studies so far carried out have shown it to be safe. Cannabis actually contains more than 400 chemicals including most of the toxins found in tobacco smoke but often in HIGHER concentrations and one cannabis cigarette can deposit four times more tar into the lungs than a filtered tobacco cigarette. Ugh
Oh dear and youngsters still experiment. Hopefully not too many YAPS (young age pensioners are doing this. We already have too many vices!)
I am continuing to work on my internet business www.ezinternettraining.com . At present I am looking at Ezines. There is a tremendous amount of infromation out there about ezines so I am still taking it all in.
Joke for today: A mushroom walks into a bar and tries to pick up a beautiful woman with his chat. Go away says the woman I don't want anything to do with you. Why not says the mushroom. I'm a fun-gi.
Thought for today: You will always find some Eskimo ready to instruct the Congolese on how to cope with heatwaves. Stanislaw J Lee
Action for today: Think about the qualifications of someone before accepting their advice.
On this day: 2nd June. In 1953 Elizabeth the 2nd crowned at Westminster Abbey
In 1780 The first Derby horse race at Epsom
Have fun.

What is cannabis?
Hi
Following on from my last blog I decided to find out what cannabis really is. Like most people who have not partaken (yes there are a few of us!) I didn't really know what it is.
I gather that cannabis is a general term for several pyschoactive preparations of the hemp plant Cannabis Sativa. (No jokes please about money for old rope!) They include marijuana leaf (grass, pot, weed or reefers), sinsemilla (skunk), made from the buds and flowers of female plants, resin (bhang, ganja, hashish) from the flowering heads of the plant and hashish oil, a tar like liquid distilled from hashish, Apparently cannabis contains at least 60 cannabinoids and the most active constituent is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol0
The fact is that all forms of cannabis are mind altering drugs.
So why oh why do people have to take them when they can ruin your life?? Answers on a postcard please. Life is so precious and yet some of us take such rediculous risks.
Enough of my blathering. Life is too short.
This month I am concentrating on learning about Ezines to develope my internet business YourNetBiz so should be very interesting.
So far my blog doesn't seem to be getting anywhere but I will continue especially since I have found out my sons blog has received over 22,000 hits since he started.
Joke for today: Doctor to patient: "I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you are not a hypochondriac"
Quotation of the day: "Ok so whats the speed of dark? (Steven Wright)
Thought for today: No matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your defeats remember that approx 1 billion Chinese people count'nt care less. (Abraham Lazlo)
Have fun. As Owen says "go chase de rabbits"
