Slowing down already

Today I was hoping to get out to Mount Street rec for a look around at what birds there might be.  However, life has got in the way again with the Boss deciding that she needed to do a few bits in the back yard and I to sit a look after Rusty-pup.  We're getting another one a coupl;e pof weeks time so I have no idea how we will mange then!  It's not a total los though in that from my study window I saw a few collarded doves and loads of house sparrows, anad a few great tits.  That was within the last few minutes which isn't bad seeing as how dark it's getting out there.

 Another of my passion is photgraphy and for that I use a Sony Alpha 350 and a couple of Sony lenses.  The last one I bought was 75-300 lense that I got from Jessops in Bolton and its not a bad lense at all.  Here's two shots I got with it the day I bought it.  Both were taken at Pennington Flash, Leigh.  

Have you heard about the two priest who went on holiday?  Well ...


Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.

They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy.

As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their "tourist" garb.

They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a
"drop dead gorgeous" blonde in a topless bikini came walking straight towards them...

They couldn't help but stare. 

As the blonde passed them she smiled and said, "Good morning, Father ~ good morning, Father," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she wiggled her bum and passed on by. They were both stunned.

How in the world did she know they were priests? So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them!

Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. 

After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different coloured topless bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them and said, "Good morning, Father ~ good morning, Father," and started to walk away. 

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Just a minute, young lady." 

"Yes, Father?"

"We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?" 

She replied, "Father, it's me...., Sister Mary!"
