You What?

There are not that many jokes in going deaf, but it brings the odd amusement. My top two at the moment [from over the long years] are:
1 Listening to an investigative program on the radio and wondering why Osama Bin Laden would be so desperate to get a Saxophone.
2 Listening to the Bronze medalist in the Women's Triathlon at last week's Olympics saying,
"We got a lot of benefit from training with the Brownies" and wondering how the junior arm of the Girl Guides could possibly help in elite triathlon training [brilliant though the Brownies are for 10 year olds]
Answers, were Bin Laden wanted a Sat Phone, and the Triathlete had been training with the Brownlees [winners of Gold and Silver in the Men's Triathlon].

Last week I stopped off on the way down to Suffolk at Fen Drayton west of Cambridge. A beautiful piece of fen landscape.
