How is everyone in AB Land

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Thanks to those who keep sending me recipes and other bits and bobs, there will be a couple of them included in this weeks newsletter.

So far the week has been pretty good! I spent most of Monday clearing up from the weekend (I nearly wore my zapping finger to the bone) and have been looking into our thread subscription issues today.

Unfortunately there are no updates on the subscription front - for now I ask those who are experiencing this problem to be patient.

Apologies if I have been slow with some of your emails, I'm trying my best to get round to responding to them but things are getting busy around here! If I don't get back to you please don't be take offence, it just means I'm a bit bogged down!

I'll be on for a chat again this Friday, so come on down to AB Suggestions! 4:00!

And before I go, a little something I received today that I though I'd share with you.

A Parable For Our Times

Young Rupert moved to Devon and buys a donkey from a farmer for £100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day he drove up and says 'Sorry but I have some bad news, the donkey died.' Rupert replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that, I went and spent it already.' Rupert said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going do with him ' Rupert said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Rupert said, 'Sure I can, watch me, I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Rupert and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey ' Rupert said, 'I raffled him off, I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £998.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain ' Rupert said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two pounds back.'

Rupert is now an investment banker in The City of London.

Have a good day!
