Two jokes to lighten the mood above ! and a true story from my altar boy days to give a chuckle.
When just coming into my teens I was enrolled in "The Holy Men's Confraternity " . It met one evening during the week about 8pm and was only for men. Fathers , grandfathers , husbands , young men etc would all convene and fill the pews . The more reluctant and rebellious lads would loll about the church entrance smoking cigarettes etc . The church would always be quite full. My friend Brendan ( also an altar boy ) would sit beside me inside. His elder sister's husband Liam , was in charge of our section and would tick off the names of those in his section ( about 40). He sat at the back. At the end of proceeding we would stand and sing The Confraternity Hymn . It went something like " Confraternity Men to the fight , and fight for the light to be pure , Jesus , Mary and Joseph give light and give us the strength to endure " etc .I got bored with this and changed the words at the end of each phrase to profanity such as " and a big pair of wobbly tits "etc. Brendan would shake with laughter , biting his lip not to laugh out loud , the tears rolling down his cheeks. I would frown at him and elbow him to shut up . Liam saw all this and thought Brendan was mocking the sermon and I was trying to stop him . Brendan would be killed afterwards !.

Eh, I had managed to work that out.
But I've been to Coventry and I'm saying no more ducks.

Not dark enough either.

- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
No chance here - thick cloud cover and pouring rain.
A shame really as we have very little light pollution.
