rev's ramblings

whilst Joan is living it up with THE CAUSE in Zambia, I decided to take Bruno to stay with Nanna (my 91yr old mum) in Sunderland for a few days. Mum's house is hermetically sealed and stays at a steady 110 degrees (you work out the celcius) so I was constantly taking Bruns for walks. It was too hot for me, so you can imagine what it must be like with a thick fur coat!  Bruno loved cooling down in the cold north sea and running around Roker Beach (see pic), whilst his owner walked off some of the many pounds gained sitting in front of the telly being fed meal after lovely meal (nothing quite like mum's cooking eh?) and watching all the soaps! The highlight was to be a trip to the Stadium of Light to see my beloved team beat Cardiff City. Steve motored all the way up from Cardiff, where he is at university, to join me for this special 'father-son moment'. Alas! 40 years of supporting the Black Cats should have forewarned the inevitable disappointment. Just about the worst performance I have ever seen as we went down 2-1. Ah well, we live in hope!  Of course we do, but the greatest hope doesn't come in the red and white stripes of a football team. Our greatest hope is from the stripes on the back of a carpenter from Nazareth (see, the preacher is never off duty!)

Ah well, off to do a spot of gardening, lose a few pounds and a few weeds all in one shot!

Blessings

Geoff
