Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

Bar-B-Que At 388
in a change of pace we had a bar-b-que at 388 instead of rolls this week, the girls, Diana, Uncashar and Mas, preparing the salad provided by Mark,
Mark, Mr. Tony, Mick and Mikey all having a chat downstairs,
Geff arrived with Fay,
and the other Geff with Honey Mae,the prepared salad, Mick brought along salad cream and lots of different mayonnaise's, and best of all a bottle of our favorite tipple!
Jeff brought along sausages and rolls from Jimbo's and Yorkies,
Honey Mae, Fay and Diana,
Mike and his Leo, Riza marinated a load of chicken and prepared a lovely desert for all of us,
Jordan and his friend Brent also were here,
pork loin grilled to perfection well done the chefs!
and chicken,
Tom missed the sausage rolls and pork, but the chicken found the spot!
meanwhile the girls had gone out to the market and prepared a feast of their own,
fish, cockles and various other things,
when it came to the desert Mick put Mr. Tony on a diet!,
it was delicious!
we then had some sushi,
all to soon Mr. Sleep paid us a call, a great time was had by all and the idea to have a bar-b-que was pronounced a huge success, so we will do that in the future, many thanks to everyone that brought food and drink along and apologies for those I have forgotten to thank in this post, as usual lots of jokes and the meaning or origin of words was high on the agenda, for instance the original meaning of the word screw as applied to prison warders in the UK, until the mid 1800s, prisons, at least in England, were places of punishment only, with no concept of rehabilitation for the prisoners, one of the forms of punishment was to crank a handle attached to a large wooden box, the cranking did nothing, other than turn a counter, the prisoner had to do 10,000 turns in 8 hours, equivalent to one every 3 seconds or so, as an extra punishment a warder could tighten a screw to make turning more difficult, warders came to be known as 'screws', by inference, the prisoner was 'screwed' and, although 'screw' remained within the prison environment, eventually 'to be screwed' became widespread, why did they have to crank the handle? to be feed, under 9,000 cranks no food! "Cheer's!"
