...anyone can light a candle.....

but it takes a special kind of fool to get burned by one.

Picked up the bait and some bits and pieces this morning....and went to see the boys later.

It's getting colder so we have the occasional fire....and some times candles inside the fishing hut. Today there was a candle in the shape of half an avocado burning on the bench top. Shaun was holding forth on some topic or other when I noticed his elbow was just a centimetre or so above the flame!

"You might like to take your elbow out of that candle flame", I said.

"Shit" was Shaun's reply...and he moved his arm and then grabbed the candle and headed towards the door. I think he was going to fling the candle outside....bu obviously the hot wax poured on to his hand....."Bollocks!" he yelled and dropped the candle................................

............and then he came out with one of those statements that only he can. "Bloody hell, how can some people pay good money to have that dribbled all over their c**k?"

As a conversation stopper it takes some beating....as a laugh generator it's a beauty.....and for making you wonder how some people's mind works it's amazing. The laughter went on for ages......some of us were still giggling half an hour later.

I bet there'll be some candle jokes while we're fishing tomorrow....it's not a match just a fun day....and Charlie is coming to visit tomorrow afternoon.

Das vidanya moy padruga.

p.s. the piece of wood is one of the Boss' collectables from the beach this Summer, she thinks it looks like a shark tooth.

p.p.s. Thanks to every one who looked in on YH's blip yesterday (Hairsprayqueen)....and you were all nice to her...I knew you would be.
