Rabbits on the moon - Snow in Egypt & The usual down the Fun Factory

I see the Chinese have a Jade Rabbit on the moon quite a feat when you think they haven't really been broadcasting their earlier endeavours it like the USA and Russia did.

 I wouldn't mind betting they are mining the damn thing in 10 years!

Snow in Egypt caused a bit of a stir.

The pic is from Jerusalem and it hasnt sowed for "very many years" according to the Sky Newsc story.  One consolation is the "fighters" in Syria got their heads down because it wax "too cold!" Just seen that its been snowing heavily in North America we could be next!!!!!

The really nasty side of hare coursing is displayed in this story from the BBC this poor dog, a lurcher

was abandoned because it had become paralysed during the "fun!" Thanks to some expert Vet Surgery it is now walking again and going to a good home

You should watch the video on this link it is really quite funny its a story about an adorable grey cat who sleeps when told to! - - -

The Fun Factory (Matlock Sainsbugs) was quite busy today and i hope it stays that way as we have over a £1m target for the week!
Things were going along quite "swimmingly" until I had 2 customers who seem incapable to describe what they wanted one after the other.  7 hours into an 8 hour shift you don't need that type of stuff! I swear one of them tried the same thing, "well its in a packet blue and purple" a couple of months ago!
The other was an old dear who mumble unintelligibly for a couple of minutes about some kind of "topping".  We never did get there and parted with the "Fail" box firmly ticked.
I escaped into the light rain and gathering gloom at the end of my shift thankful for the "end of day!"

Sally had a very pleasant trip around Haddon Hall just down the road with her sister and brother in law yesterday Its a stunning place to see and the stories you pick up on the tour are fascinating

An outside view of the garden here the spring/summer display is particularly stunning

The "long gallery" bedecked in its Christmas decorations.  Its a more traditional decoration theme than Chatsworth just around the corner but impressive nonetheless

Enjoy the day
