Mum's Big Birthday
Mum will be celebrating a VERY BIG BIRTHDAY this coming Wednesday (10th March).
The only time we could get the family all together (nearly), was Sunday, so we met up at Howfield Manor near Canterbury for lunch.
Really excellent meal and really friendly service made the day one to remember.
I understand she will be sharing her birthday with one
Claude Bolling, a French jazz pianist, composer, and arranger (but we didn't invite him to Howfield).
Affairs of the Night
When I was 14, I knew I was well on the way to manhood when firstly I could sharpen a pencil with a penknife (rather than a pencil sharpener), and secondly I was told I had snored the previous night!
Since that day, snoring and I have made good bed fellows, until my wife decided to threaten an hitherto close relationship.
Ms Snoring and I had enjoyed regular all night sessions, especially after a beer or two.
Dearest Mrs Wiseworld had long held suspicions about our relationship, but last night, armed with new surveillance equipment, she finally caught us in the act.
Click on the player if you want to listen to the damning evidence.
Things could have been far worse.
She could have caught me with Miss Windworthy, with whom I enjoy a good curry and a noisy night.

Palace Street phone snatch - witness appeal
Police are appealing for two people to come forward after they helped a woman when her mobile phone was snatched in Canterbury.
The most pointless webcam in the world..
...and I am so proud it is mine!
If you are thinking of burgling, don't bother - you have already been seen and your acne'd face is already stored on my server!
Similar (private) facilities exist in the Northern Wing, so anyone caught throwing material over the perimeter will be immediately referred to appropriate authorities with full photographic evidence.
You have been warned, Mrs Bucket!
