Rabbit Thought of the Day

I have just had the hospital on the phone they are planning on doing my hernia operation on the 2nd December and I should expect two weeks off sick.

It’s that time of the month for me again, a quick visit to the nurse jump on the scales and see how much I have lost (or not) this week. I don’t think I have done very well this week and in the month since I last visited the nurse I don’t think I have very much as changed at all, but I’ll soon see.

It has been a struggle this month, although I did have one good week, but that can be off set when I put a couple of pounds on. But this week, because I was away for a few days I don’t think I have lost anything. Plus I missed 3 training sessions last week as well, I only managed to get twice in stead of my normal 5 times; I really must make more of an effort.

Nineteen-year-old George Garratt changed his name by deed poll online for ten pounds. He told website thisissomerset.com that he had originally decided to change his name for a bit of a laugh and, once he had decided upon a superhero theme, has simply added the monikers suggested by his friends to form one huge name.

Garratt was pleasantly surprised to learn that his new name was the longest in the UK and possibly even the world. On the downside, his grandmother hasn’t spoken to him since he changed his name.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Elite Kenyan police who went to help a luxury 4x4 that broke down outside their base were surprised when the occupants took off on foot -- until officers took a closer look and found the vehicle loaded with marijuana.

"When the occupants refused assistance and fled, officers became suspicious and searched the vehicle," finding about $20,000 (12,333 pounds) worth of the drug, Trans Mara police boss Joshua Omukata told The Standard newspaper. Members of the highly-regarded paramilitary General Service Unit from Keyian camp in the Rift Valley were unable to catch the would-be traffickers.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The long arm of the law didn't have to reach too far to arrest one Australian teenager, who was caught breaking into a police station in the early hours of Monday.

Officers working in the back of the police station in a suburb of the southern city of Adelaide heard the front door glass being smashed and found the 16-year old in the front hall. "A teenage boy has discovered the quickest way of getting arrested is to break into a police station,"

South Australia state police said in a statement on its website. About A$2,000 ($1,340) of damage was caused and the boy was denied bail, the statement said. A police spokesman added the youth did not give a reason for his actions, and may have had "a bit too much to drink."

Good morning once again fellow bloggers, its coffee time and its been a busy morning, made more so by having a power cut, which left me having to do again a spreadsheet which I lost. I know you are supposed to save a document every so often and I was about too, I had set it up and was then distracted by a phone call and while I was on the phone the power went off. Fortunately it wasn’t a massive document so it didn’t take long to redo it.

Apart from that it been a busy and interesting morning, plenty to keep my mind occupied and the little grey cells.

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who became the youngest F1 World Champion yesterday in Brazil. His rival Brazilian Felipe Massa won the race in his own country, and Hamilton secured the fifth place he needed by the skin of his teeth by overtaking the German Timo Glock on the final straight.

Not a motersport fan myself, but I am sure he his rather pleased with himself this morning.

Here we are again, that dreaded time of the week, Monday morning. What have got to look forward too, five days of blood, sweat and toil? It’s a living I suppose but am sure there are far better things to do; unfortunately they don’t pay the bills. So the majority of us have to drag our bodies out of bed and go to work. A nice lottery win would be but as I don’t do it that’s going to happen, I only tend to buy a ticket now and again, I certainly don’t go out of my to buy one.

At least its dry this morning and it even might be a little warmer than of late that’s at least something good this morning. I will have to head out very shortly I suppose I better get some petrol otherwise I won’t be going far at all.
