interested in making a pound where he could, so he often would thin down
paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the
Presbyterian Church decided to do a big restoration job on the roof of
one their biggest churches. Jock put in a bid, and because his price was
so competitive, he got the job.
And so he set to, with a right good will, erecting the trestles and
setting up the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, we're sorry to
say, thinning it down with the turpentine.
Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly
done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky
opened and the rain poured down, washing the paint from all over the
church and knocking Jock fair off the scaffold to land on the lawn,
among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and
useless paint.
Jock was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he
got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?" And
from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke: "Repaint! Repaint and thin no
more!"

Fine, been busy getting the calendars, cards and stuff ready. Also been
doing some event photography and getting those shots sorted out...
Overall rather hectic in fact... Never mind soon be off for 2 weeks
waiting for a baby ;o)
On top of all this I am running a small challenge in Karl's Forums to
take a shot a day for the whole of September... So far it's been fun and
the weather has been kind.
How's things with yersel'?
