Ouch! We have the whole sequence of pictures related to this and I'll post them in the next few days. It's pretty interesting.

Looks like fun! (If a bit close for comfort).
I noticed it was your birthday on the 9th? Hope you enjoyed your curry and had a lovely day.-

It was the 16th, and thanks very much. The curry was stunning - we are lucky to have an excellent Indian Restaurant in our little village.

I have before and after pics too, with Helen's assistance. Helen has one of the stone hanging in the air just before the splash that I got. I'll post them as a sequwence later in the week.

You do seem to catch the action in your photos Tom. I see that Dan was on his way to retrieve the boulder lol.

Thanks. Dan was right behind the action there, it's true. I sometimes forget his ball and when I do, I throw stones into the sea for him to chase after. So, he now associates the picking up of a stone with fun for him :-)

I'm reminded of Martin Amis' book 'Times Arrow' which puts a completely different set of thoughts into my febrile imagination.

I've read a few of his, but not that one. Would you recommend it?

Its a curious novel where time travels backwards and I'd say it was worth a read. My own opinion is that some of his other stuff has more merit.
Difficult to rate him really as he seems to try a little too hard, which is probably due to the difficulty in emerging from beneath his fathers shadow.
I'm currently reading an Umberto Eco, which is also non mainstream, I'll let you know how I get on.-

I've read several of Umberto Eco's and he can be difficult. Foucault's Pendulum was a bit of a slog, but the others less so.

I've read that and can agree. I'm currently on "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana" which I got from the library last week.
I wonder if you are like minded when I sugest that people who turn down the corners of pages should be hunted down, stripped naked, hung from a lamp-post and publicly whipped?
Or am I being too christian here?

I'm an anti-page-turner too.

Once again the dog looks happy - the tail!
-

I've just noticed what you mean: the tail up and happy. We have my two nephews here this weekend, so lots of attention for the doggies!

Did you explain it all to the startled dog? LOL
-
- 23/08/08 @ 23:55:59
He loved it. Excited people = excited dogs. He doesn't mind why we're excited, he just joins in!

I did a simialr thing in 1982, whilst on a Outdoor Pursuits week in Loch Tay in Scotland. I threw a hefty bolder to splash a friend of mine, misjudged it and broke his foot.
Happy days, school days.
