A robust group of Rotarians and partners (plus 1 guest) were welcomed by PP Carmel to celebrate the approaching festive season.

Carmel hard at work.

It was an evening of fun, fellowship and frivolity.

Doctor's Lament

A terribly overweight blonde woman goes to her doctor about her weight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. 
“I want you to eat vegetables and grains for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks and the next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 kilos.”
When the blonde returned, the doctor was shocked to find she had lost nearly 20 kilos.
“Why, that’s amazing!” the doctor said, “Did you follow my instructions?”
The blonde nodded and said, “I have to tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead after the third day.”
“From hunger, you mean?”
“No, from skipping.”

A: The older brother is 17, and the younger brother is 7.
