CALENDAR GIRLS WITH A DIFFERENCE

SOS Ayuda sin Frontera has amongst its volunteers female police officers and fire fighters who go to the aid of people in the trouble spots and disaster areas of the world.

To help raise funds for this NGO 12 of these volunteers have posed for the 2010 SOS Ayuda sin Frontera Calendar with all money going to help fund their aid projects.

A good enough reason for buying the calendar – although you might find 12 others! Enjoy!

Tony said...: I've been anxiously waiting all day (Monday) for your blog and so far it hasn't arrived.I thought, perhaps because of the "big news" you must be doing something special.There I was on Saturday doing a bit of gardening,popping in and out for the odd drink,piece of chocolate,peanuts.My wife Jo ironong away, a picture of domestic bliss, while watching the fashion channel.Next thing it's the Miss World Contest.An amazing parade of beautiful women on a dreadfully boring programme. Eventually, it's down to the last three and then suddenly Miss Gibraltar has won!!!!! MISS GIBRALTAR IS MISS WORLD !!! My God, this must be the biggest thing to happen to Gibraltar since the re opening of the frontier. There will be nothing else in the papers for at least a week, Why aren't you on the story?; December 14, 2009 at 6:08 PM

TILTING AT WINDMILLS

Sancho Panza is much less learned but a good deal saner than his master.

"At this point they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that are on that plain.

"Fortune," said Don Quixote to his squire, as soon as he had seen them, "is arranging matters for us better than we could have hoped. Look there, friend Sancho Panza, where thirty or more monstrous giants rise up, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes. For this is righteous warfare, and it is God's good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth."

"What giants?" said Sancho Panza.

"Those you see there," answered his master, "with the long arms, and some have them nearly two leagues long."

"Look, your worship,'' said Sancho. "What we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the vanes that turned by the wind make the millstone go."

"It is easy to see," replied Don Quixote, "that you are not used to this business of adventures. Those are giants, and if you are afraid, away with you out of here and betake yourself to prayer, while I engage them in fierce and unequal combat."”
