Two builders go into the pub after a hard day's work. They're sat drinking for a while when a very smartly dressed man walks in and orders a drink. The two began to speculate about what the man did for a living.

"I'll bet he's an accountant." said the first builder.

"Looks more like a stockbroker to me." argued the second.

They continued to debate the subject for a good while until eventually the first builder needed to use the toilet.

On walking in, he saw the smartly dressed man standing at a urinal. "Excuse me mate, but me and my friend have been arguing over what a smartly dressed fella like you does for a living?" the builder said to the man.

Smiling the man replied, "I'm a logical scientist."

"A what?" asked the builder.

"Let me explain" the man continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?"

A bit puzzled, but intrigued the builder decided to play along, "Yes, I do as it happens."

"Well then it's logical to assume that you either keep it in a bowl or a pond. Which is it?"

"A pond" the builder replied.

"Well then it's logical to assume that you have a large garden."

The builder nodded his agreement.

So the man continued, "which means it's logical to assume you have a large house."

"I have a 6 bedroom house that I built myself." the builder said proudly.

"Given that you have such a large house, it's logical to assume that you are married..."

The builder nodded again, "Yes, I'm married and we have three children."

"Then it's logical to assume that you have a healthy sex life."

"Five nights a week!" the builder boasted.

The man smiled a little, "Therefore it's logical to assume you don"t masturbate often."

"Never!" the builder exclaimed.

"Well there you have it" the man explained, "That's logical science at work. From finding out that you have a goldfish, I've discovered the size of your garden, all about your house, your family and your sex life!"

The builder left, very impressed by the man's talents.

On returning to the bar the other builder asked, "I see that smart bloke was in there, did you find out what he does?"

"Yeah," replied the first, "He's a logical scientist."

"A what?" the puzzled second builder asked.

"Let me explain" the first builder continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?"

"No" replied his mate.

”Well you’re a wanker then”

I took a walk out to a local beach and thankfully there weren't many people about as there was loads of lost tackle lying around, a breakaway lead and associated hooks and lines, two cheap jigs and one bizarre thing which seems to be a pink mackerel feather inside a muppet on a 1 inch length of line and attached to a carp bomb and two half ounce bombs!! Apart from the former the lines seemed to be 6-10lb maximum, I wonder how many locals and tourists get caught in these bits of lost gear?
At least I can use a few bits and recycle the hooks and swivels. 

if you go to the stoney mud by hyth marina i have seen a few there in the rock pools, plus on the shallows by the marsh at leep .i all ways where some thing on my feet there.

The silver darlings are back, my favourite fish! Just a quick 2-3 hour session in the river as there was a lot of big traffic coming in and out. The fish were staying well away from the deeper channels and seemed to be picking off bait fish near to the rock ledges, both mackerel and herring were thin on the ground but I kept 3 mackerel that were badly hooked and one herring as I juggled the other back into the sea 🤦‍♂️
Late lunch of herring with a green and a potato salad. 

im droolling allready

glad you had a good day mate

yes sand is very aukward.it takes a bit longer to get to the beach but there is no parking fee (as of yet )i would not take a bottle of milk as it would be a milk shake by he tyme i got there.but to get out fishing again is grate

Yes it’s a thing here in Australia as it’s often the coldest month and can be very much like Europe in winter.
My son headed off Friday to do a few music gigs in a small town the other side of the mountains, a 10hr return trip. His next gig after that is a 4 day 4500km drive. 
 
Just settled down for a relaxed evening with the Mrs when the phone rings🫣 our son, forgot his guitar and music folders😳
Mum, dad can you bring my music gear 😣. However the gear is at a different house an hour in the wrong direction from our place.
So a quick overnight trip it was. Got to his gig with 20mins to spare , which was a good night out. Camped at the bottom of the mountains in sub 0’c temps. Didn’t have to head to high before we were driving in the white stuff and -4’c mid day temps. Must admit it’s good to do a few trips to the snow over winter given it’s so close to where we live on the coast. It did feel very much like Xmas.
