dolphin dog

Sequin | 12:25 UK time, Tuesday, 7 July 2009

It's sheeting down outside. Bouncing off the ground. But just to remind us what it HAS been like...............

From Lady Sue it's " a photo of Mr. Darcy at the lake doing his dolphin impersonation in his attempt to catch a stick. "

Cute.

    T8: Proof (if ever you needed it) that it's not only first century prophets that can walk on water.

    Which reminds me...

    A minister, priest and newly ordained curate were fishing from a boat in a Scottish loch. About midday, the priest said, "I'm hungry. I have a hamper of food in the car. I'll go and get it."

    So he climbed over the side of the boat, walked across the surface of the water, fetched the hamper, and returned the same way he had gone.

    After the picnic, the minister said, "That was grand. I have a bottle of malt whisky in the car. I'll go and get it."

    So he climbed over the side of the boat, walked across the surface of the water, fetched the whisky, and returned the same way he had gone.

    Not to be outdone by the other clerics, the curate thought "If they can walk on water, then so can I!" so he made an excuse to go back to the shore: "I have to go to the shore - I need to go to the toilet!"

    So he climbed over the side of the boat, and disappeared beneath the water.

    The priest and the minister peered into the dark waters of the loch for a minute or two. Then the minister said, "Do you think we should have told him where the stepping stones are?"

    Caroline: the Mr. Darcy from P&P and this Mr. Darcy both love a summertime lake frolic - not sure whether Colin Firth, sans costume, would but I'd be delighted to offer him the chance.

    *sigh*
