Good morning everyone !

Morning all,

Another early start here in chilly Croydon. At least I get to prepare the slow cooker meal without being rushed at all – paprika pork is the culinary treat for Thursday

Off out to lunch today with an old work colleague who has retired. I shall try VERY hard not to push her smug face into her cappuccino…… wish me luck

Have a great day, everyone, and stay safe

Today’s gem:
A young woman from New York City was driving through a remote part of Oklahoma when her car broke down.
An Indian came riding by on horseback and offered to give her a lift to a nearby town. She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off.
The ride into town was uneventful except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a loud whoop that echoed back from the surrounding hills.
When they arrived in Bartlesville, he let her off at the local Phillips 66 service station, yelled one final, "Yahoo!" and rode off.
"What did you do to get that Indian so excited?" asked the service station attendant.
"Nothing. I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist and held onto his saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off."
"Lady," the attendant said, "Indians ride bareback."
