Quiet house now that August has departed. 2 lots of family stayed with us through the month. Nice to see them but hard work for my wife. I tried to help but can't do anything domestically as good as her. My grandson is a gifted bright lovely boy but as my daughter says, he can turn into a bit of a Kevin on occasion, and my 16 year old granddaughter is like all young girls, all about her looks, boyfriend, phone, etc. She goes to Norwich City College this month as she develops into womanhood. Although, like most 16 year old girls nowadays she looks about 25 !!! Great kids, and we wouldn't be without them for a minute.

Terrible fires, thank the Lord they're under control. It's times like this that even Englishmen pray for rain.

An Ipswich man's wife goes into labour. He phones the ambulance service. "We'll send an ambulance immediately, where do you live?". The man replies "In Eucalyptus Drive". The operator asks, "Can you spell that for me please?" There is silence for a few moments and then the man says, "Tell you what, I'll drag her into Oak Street, pick her up from there...."
