Today is the only Friday the 13th in 2011, so if you make it through the day, you're home free. but you might like to bear the following in mind

Tridecaphobia
crudely the fear of the number 13 more often however the fear of Friday The Thirteenth.
Or alternatively Fear of Friday the 13th is œfriggatriskaidekaphobia, after the Norse goddess, Frigga, the goddess of love and fertility, at least until the Christians took charge in Scandinavia, and Frigga was tagged as a witch. even worse is the Greek paraskevidekatriaphobia !!! I prefer the easier to spell and remember Tridecaphobia .
Those who are Tridecaphobic often remain indoors keep to their beds
(or should that be Thier Ted?)
Then there is the story of one such individual to whom staying in bed proved fatal when his chimbley fell through the roof and landed on his bed killing him instantly Thus proving his fears to be valid that the thirteenth day falling on a Friday is Unlucky.
His Wife who ignored his fears and thought him a complete plonker was completely unharmed watching daytime TV downstairs.
She was a little upset of course as the Falling Chimbly bought down the TV Ariel and she lost the picture .
But cheered up when she collected the Insurance

There are Lots Of Things to be worried about in this world I think Friday the 13th is a long way down the list.
The Black cats union is up in arms cause cats have been kept in. for fear of them crossing someone's path . The Councils have pathways mostly rendered safe by tarmacking pavements thereby removing the cracks between paving slabs that are unlucky to tread on. We have all become twitchers keeping eyes peeled for pairs of Magpies (one for sorrow TWO for Joy) Some accident's have happened when pedestrians stepped into path of passing cars when they tried to avoid walking under ladders.on the plus side scribbles returned on this day
So I hope you all have remained safe today

But think on all you fellers while out enjoying a country walk in the woods & the call of nature beckons BEWARE






Worms- If you urinate on a worm, your privates will become swollen that urban myth comes from Japan so think we are safe in UK.

Evening all

Have put my order in right away Den.

It's clouded over a bit now but otherwise just another warm day with most grass patches looking very yellow.

After my usual Friday supermarket trip, and having looked at the chits of the last couple of visits, I reckon this aspect of the cost of living has gone up just over 5%. Thankfully, this is not critical for me but it does make me think about those closer to the bread line and, perhaps, now unemployed.

Good Morning!
Welcome back, Scribe, Sir!
Sky has an unreliable thundry grey cloud cover ...

Sun streaming through the windows again - looks like another lovely day!

Evening all

Sunny all day again so everything remains dry and dusty.
