An anthology of cartoons culled from the media on the subject of "The Great Drought of 1976".
A summer of the worst drought for a thousand years was abruptly ended with torrential downpours and flooding.
There is a special bond between a brother and sister. I don't get it as I was an only child growing up, but as their father I love watching them laugh and able to enjoy each others company. Big sister knows how to get him giggling through her weird sense of humour.
I vowed not to try any repairs this weekend, but then I remembered this puzzle, which is mildly amusing... it only has two replacement pieces to be painted, so unless I get into a mess, I should easily finish it today, and will then add the details.
Looking at the photos posted so far, I'm struck by how many of the older humorous puzzles feature horses and hunting. I wonder what the modern equivalent will be?
C'est pas moi je le jure ! Ni fiston !
Zavions pas de bière dans notre expédition !
D'ailleurs nous ne buvons pas de la Molson Ex, zétions trop snobs, nous zaimions mieux la Stella Artois ou des bières de micro brasserie hahaha
Entéka, cette bière là servait de point de repère pour rejoindre le sentier principal et elle tronait au milieu du paysage qui avait tout de la steppe boréale. Je l'ai bien rit :)
At first glance, it appears to be children at a party in animal masks.
However look on the back row and the masks take on a different meaning.
Probably film stars or famous people of the time, it is history that has been forgotten over the years.
For a prize of an extra portion of jelly - name all the people.
Prize to be collected by the end of the day in Singapore
Probably also because I got used to poke fun of myself, so I did prepare for my Humorous Speech taking "faces" of myself. This now is here because I corrected an old picture to be able to add it to my new blog called Competent communicator at competentcommunicator.blogspot.com/
this note will appear only Wednesday but the blog is already up and running

Horsing around...Eef Cauwelier, a Belgian living in Scotland, caught this strange moment between man and beast.
BA emergency manual. Generally bit more detailed and with better dose of humour than those ones for cheap airlines ;-)
Look who came home with me from the Garden Media Guild Awards recently. They sit on my desk and make me laugh.
So today Josh and I decided on starting a 30 day challenge, where we would both take a photo based on a randomly assigned theme'
Today was 'contrast'. I was struggling with idea's and wanted to stay away from contrasting colours, and wanted some sort of contrast of idea's.
Luckily enough I only had to look as far as my backyard for some inspiration.
This photo is more satirical than anything, but I feel like it fits the bill of 'contrast' enough. (those are frozen chickens in the background)

I've only ever had one of these puzzles before, and was under the impression that they were very rare. So I was surprised to buy a job lot of puzzles from a French seller, and find that 5 of them were Anglo-American puzzles!
This is the only funny one - the title is 'A Gretna Green'. It shows a coach with escutcheon arrived at an inn, and in the background a doddery old lord being hustled off to his wedding by a woman whom, presumably, his family would forbid him to marry. The inn servants, meanwhile, are listening, scandalised, as the coachmen tell their story.
The puzzle has about 600 pieces, and measures 26" x 24". Both the print and the plywood are of high quality, and I admire the cutting style. These are great puzzles to do.
People who know far more about French puzzles than I do, speculate that there is a link between Anglo-American and Parker Brothers in America, but that these puzzles were cut and marketed in France. The few examples I've seen. e.g. on The Jigasaurus, date from the 1910s and 1920s, but these puzzles are in suspiciously good condition for such an early date. Do any of you have more information to share about this maker?
Cophragia (eating poop) is a nasty, but a surprisingly common habit some dogs have. Aside from the obvious reason, cophragia should be discouraged as it is the source of many contagious diseases in dogs such as giardia & worms.
