Yesterday my parents celebrated the 50th aniverity of their wedding. The family went up the Loen Skylift a 1000 meters almost straight up by Gondola (it's one of the steepest Gondola rides in the world) to the Hoven resturant on the edge of the 100 meter cliff. I still think that's where the Austria scenes in SPECTRE ideally should have been filmed, but it wsn't finished by then.
My mother has been nervous about taking the Gondola, even to the point of saying she would never go there, but she loved it
The first time I went to the resturant on the edge of the cliff I just had an icecream. This time we had dinner with desert. Lovely!
The restaurant serves lovely meals and has a bar too. All the tables has a great view, buty we got a table with a particularely great view.Paragliders jumped off the mountain all the time. They lined up in an orderly cue, jumped and glided over the fjord. As soon as they landed they took the Gondola up again. Paragliders flew past the big windows, about 15 meters from our table. Great :007)
After an incredibly sunny and dry spring and summer we actually worry our well will run dry (four farms share one well). I have never experienced this before, and neither has my father (born 1938).
Sweden is experiencing about 50 fires they can't control. This time it has nothing to do with badly integrated imigrants in the suburbs. 60% of Sweden is forrest and and all of it is bone dry.
Today I saw a car on fire on the A2 it was someone's BMW . Now I was with the police for many years .and saw many a stolen burnt out car , but I've never seen one on fire , man did it go up .There was 3 tenders from KFB in attendance and a MET X5 , and when I got home the woods outside my house were on fire so I had to call LFB to put it out .
It's heart breaking to learn about the tonight's fires in Greece. 74 dead, many families.
Horrible

Daniel Craig was at the Liverpool v Man City game at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey...he spoke with Klopp after the game...Klopp told reporters how he’d just had a hug from James Bond
This is my first week end off from my work in many months! How do I celebrate? I take off my shoes and go for a long walk in the park. Even that the grass is brown it is good to feel under my feet. I must care but there is not broken glass or other things here.
I think people in Europe and America often do not ever walk with out shoes. I say try this thing on the grass in the country side. Your feet will harden after some time and you will feel good connected to the earth.
The Beano comic celebrates it’s 80th birthday on Monday. The UK’s most famous comic is the home of many famous characters such as Dennis The Menace and The Bash Street Kids and is the last surviving comic of it’s kind. A #1 is on sale at the moment on EBay for £25,000. I sold my copy of #1 five years ago to a private collector for £10,000 so if it does go at that price it will have been a good investment for the purchaser. I picked up thousands of comics way back when I was trading as a bookseller and sold them all over a long period of time to private collectors as I didn’t sell comics in the shop (I did sell annuals though). Apparently The Beano is nothing like it was with Dennis being a watered down version of old self through political correctness X-(
The Beezer, The Topper and The Dandy were other popular comics of the day - what did other AJBers read as kids?
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
The Beano, The Dandy and The Warlord. Then Photoplay

I guess I should explore this forum so that I won't commit the same mistake again. Thank you.

KFB = Kentucky Fried Bacon
MET X5 =?
LFB = London Fire Brigade
Met X5 = Metropolitan Police BMW X5
(I'll guess KFB is Kent Fire Brigade )

What does an African like you think of the weather?
Is it too hot, just right or a bit chilly?
