you cant always get what you want

Hood Aerodrome Masterton

hellof a week.

nothing tasted right.

everytime I opened my gob I out my foot in it or said the wrong thing.

All round seedy, bad tempered and just plain off.

Reckon it was the shoes I got from the thrift shop.

something toxic about them.

oh yes.

And at night my feet would feel on fire in bed!!!!

Out they go.

anyway I went to town today.

didnt much feel like it but Igave it a go.

Then the Local F4U went over going like the clappers.

musta been a war on somewhere.

and then an 8 cyliner lycoming FU24 went over.

cant compete with that.

An old boy stopped for a chat.

Old bomber pilot.

Stirlings, Lancasters and Wellingtons.

Ian Sutherland from down Pirinoa way.

I said I didnt know if I would have been brave enough to do what he had done.

He said he was scared most of the time too.

Everybody just did what they had to do.

He is off to London next month on an free expenses paid trip for a bomber command celebration.

I salute you old fellow.

An ozzy came past and said I sounded like Slim Dusty and did I know any of his tunes.

I have just been learning "When The Rain Tumbles Down In JUly, so I did that for him and he went away very happy.

Cool for kangaroos dude.

then Miss Otis sat down and bought me coffee.

She tells me her dad still does it once a month at the tin hut and he is 80 s I guess I have a few years yet and I felt a little better.

alls well that ends well.

ciao for now.

And last but not least. EQC getting its lumps in Christchurch.

about time.

And Roger Sutton from CERA time you had a haircut.

you beginning to look like a tatty old housewife!!!!!!

and keep the Cathedral as a monument for not building your house on the sand.

the local tree cutter are on the job again.

remind me of a chap I knew who got a parrot and when one of the guys at work told him it would outlive him he went home and wrung its neck.

anyway somebody told me yesterday that the tree cutters have been to university and know what they are doing.

well I have been to university too and have a degree in the philosophy of science and I can make those so called  scientists (barf) jump through hoops any time I want too.

but there are none so blind as those who will not see.

the chainsaw is more important than the tree.

when you tell people about the acorns on the ground at the moment all they can say is that they are good for pigs.

well somebody planted the trees in the first place but it seems as if the ony thing anyone can think about these days is food and pigs.

on a cost benefit anlysis planting a tree is just too much trouble.
