Watching paint dry is not so exciting as watching grass grow. After all, there could be a crocus come up in it. :)

Vivien, thank you for putting the reekin' McMark in his place.....I have been awaiting advice from the Untied Nations (sic) All Purpose Trivia Committee for their considered opinon on the matter. My uncertainty was casued by McMark's position thousands of miles away and the distinct possibility that he might, if chastised, move to Boston and  start hurling tea in the harbour. That august body (usually known by the acronym coined by their dyslexic RanchAim :
CATPUN)gave the  decision that McMark should not be allowed to smoke in the forum, partiicularly sincer the smoke form his pipe is NOT making his propellers gor round as fast a when he is not s moking, so he will have to nip out back to the shelter. BUT, since this is an SRGC shelter, McMark cannot in fact choose the colur, it must be a nice shde of Scottish Blue!  :D

My goodness Maggi, have you been nipping at the Sherry, may I suggest spellcheck  ::) ;D

I was going to suggest some proof reading before pressing the "post" button, but I know the poor lady's very tired. ::)

We've beaten the Aussies AGAIN on the cricket pitch. That's two in a row, last night's a real nail-biter. They'll be spitting tacks! ;D

And the Canadians have beaten the Americans in ice hockey. Anyway Ray, I have to mention when we beat the Aussies as it happens so rarely, at cricket at least. :D Apparently our soccer team has lost to Mexico 2 - 0 at Pasadena, a warm up before the world cup. The loss was considered a triumph for NZ as we're ranked 80th in the world, Mexico just 15th. But I'm not even slightly interested in soccer (football).
