Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
I was so pleased that Sean posted about this beautiful book of poetry and photography by Janice Thompson. It is just the sort of book that would look great on a coffee table.
The post also prompted me to check out her blogs which I found to be full of beautiful poems, photographs and paintings.
I can heartily recommend you take a little time to look at both her book and her blogs, I know I shall be a frequent visitor from now on

I eventually managed to get to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was well worth the wait, although I could have done without all the interruptions from people frequently leaving and entering the cinema throughout the film. The essence of the book was captured very well, but I think some bits of the film would be confusing if you hadn’t read the book. A must for any Harry Potter fan.
Before the film I just had to have a go at the new indoor mini golf course. There are actually two 18 hole courses and obviously the more difficult of the two had to be tested. I thought I was doing quite badly but I managed to finish 10 shots in the lead 
After the film it was time for a bit to eat and I had a delicious tuna steak with risotto and veg.
I do hope you all like the sky I enjoyed on my journey home.
And what is in store for me tomorrow? Well that is another day

Angus commented on my previous post suggesting he might like to take the barber up on the offer of a free haircut. After seeing the type of styles that particular barber produces, I think Angus may change his mind

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a policeman came in for a haircut, and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’
The policeman was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.
A university professor came in for a haircut and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber once again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’
The professor was very happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber opened his shop, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen different books such as ‘How to Improve Your Business’ and ‘Becoming More Successful.’
Then, a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill the barber again said, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’
The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the Members of Parliament.
