Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Dry at the moment. We are told it will not last. Now there's a surprise!

Tiggy was in at 7.15 last night, had half his supper then went for a stroll round the garden and came back to see the rest off.

Domesticity looms today, a load of ironing I can't ignore any longer. So it's pour a beer and get on with it this afternoon.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning Skipper... no it won't last, band of very heavy rain in the sw approaches now, another dreech day. Rain woke me up at oneish yesterday afetr I'd been dragged kicking and screaming out of bed to get Take that Tickets for the boss lady and her sister...... my Birthday and Chrimbo pressies better be FABTASTIC!!!

[waterboatman]

Morning slappy. Thanks for confirming my suspicions mate.

I'd call that abject cruelty! The payback should be fabuloso!

How you doing this morning mate? :o}

[Slapshot]

Still awake is all I'll say.... ;0)

Abject cruelty would be forcing me to go into an arena with thousands of menopausal and pre-menopausal women screaming and chucking their undies at three middle aged blokes......

[waterboatman]

Perish the thought! Enough to make a barmaid eat her young that is! At least you'll get some peace while they are trying to recapture lost youth mate.

[Slapshot]

Well..... as it's in Glasgow I get the joy of putting up with my father instead!!!!

[waterboatman]

Oh great joy! A pleasent prospect?

[Slapshot]

It can be depending on how good a mood the old devil is in.....

[1ozzy]

Morning all.
Second shift is about to begin.
No rain here either today, how unusual ;-)

Ps: Cupid04 sends her greetings to you all.

Cya a bit later.

[waterboatman]

Ah yes. I remember that with my old man. You could never tell what mood he was in. If it was good then he was good company, if not a good time to be elsewhere.

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. Thanks for that mate. See you in a while.

[Slapshot]

Morning again Oz.... get her dinner on mate ;0)

There's a touch of senility and a lot of depression in there, he had a stroke about 8 years ago and gave up, it wasn't that bad but life is now watching TV he's only just turned 70; it's driving my mother crazy.

[waterboatman]

I can imagine. He's the only one that knows what's going on in his mind. 70 is middle age these days. Good luck with that mate.

[Slapshot]

problem is he doesn't really get along with my brother... too alike, so he only brightens up when we are around

[waterboatman]

You have a chance then. It's sad to see someone deteriorate for no real reason. S good friend of ours just gave up once he reached his target of 88. He could easily have hit the ton. He finally went about a month after Vera. Double whammy for me!

[Slapshot]

Not great is it. There's little answer with him, it's just hugely difficult especially for mum. She wants to do a lot more than she does but can't, he makes me angry at times.... If I ever get that she has permission to do me in!!

[berniecuddles]

morning wbm slappy n ozzy dry here at the moment dont know how long that'll last tho

[Slapshot]

Longer than the west..... morning matey

[waterboatman]

Too right! I wouldn't like to be in that state either. I'd hate to be a burden on the tribe. I'd hate to be in a home too. However, we don't often get the choice do we.

Saluted for getting a willing 16 year old pregnant at the age of 99. Wonderful!

[waterboatman]

Morning bernie. The wet stuff seems to like it here mate.

[berniecuddles]

er you keep it then m8 lol
