A man met an old friend who had been under the weather for some time, and asked him how he was feeling. “Fine,” replied the afflicted one. “I’m feeling much better since I went to a new doctor. He’s been giving me iron shots, iron tablets and iron injections.” “I’m glad to hear that and do you feel better all the time now?” asked the friend. “Sure do….. as long as I face north.”
Our condolences to Lyness Wark in the passing of his wife.
