Sunday 17th January 2010

Have you noticed that Bird Flu and Swine Flu (as well as several other "epidemics") have died the death (excuse the pun)? It's a good job the Governments Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies is not on a performance budget, but there again perhaps some members are getting paid quite enough. And you thought bankers were the enemy?

The latest health craze is the war on Alcohol, how long before the smoking ban is followed by a drinking ban. Didn't the Americans try something like this in the 1920's?

Anyway, from this Government advertisement (paid for with your tax of course), it is nice to see there is something for children to look forward to as they get older.




And a clip about the beer goggles, which I am sure the guys will identify with:



On a more jolly note, it is Kathleen's birthday today.

We were invited to Sunday Dinner (cooked by Martin, with Dana's invaluable assistance in the gravy department). It was excellent as usual, and Kathleen of course was able to have her whole family around her (Dana, Martin, Claire, Geoff, Phillippa, Dave), and all of the grandchildren (Emily, Lauren, Molly, Charlotte, Daniel). Poor little Daniel is covered in spots (he has Chickenpox).
