Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. No frost this morning. I hope it's nice when Helios get over the hilltop. I can get some bits and pieces done outside. Yesterday was nice in the afternoon, it was quite pleasent doing odds and ends in the garden, still a lot to do.

I reckon a trip to Wotton-under-Edge is on the cards for today. Must get some eggs, a visit to the farm.

Have a happy day everyone. :o}

Morning boaty, hope you are well. Today I have to erect a twenty foot flagpole that I got for my wife for Christmas. I prefer a low profile, but she's wanted one for years. Then decorations to take down, and store. I'm relieved the silly season is over, now for the silly rest of the year.

[waterboatman]

Morning David. A flag pole. I like it! :o}

I'm fine thanks. All is well in boatyland...at the moment!

Yup. Silly season over for another year. I don't put decorations up just a line for the cards, I took that down yesterday. As you say, we can now get back to whatever passes for normal. Silly rest of the year could well be right!

What flag is your wife going to put on the flag pole?

[david small]

She has two the Union Jack, and the flag of St George. There is an Isle of Wight flag, but I fancy a Jolly Roger, or a Happy Frank:)

[waterboatman]

Looks like you need five flagpoles! The Union Flag in the middle, St. George one side, I.o.W. t'other side and your two on the outsides. ;o} That would give the neighbours something to look at! :o}

[david small]

Neighbors, don't get me started....bye for Now boatman, fare well.

It's the best time of day, the early morning. Especially in summer. A bit of a walk in the very early hours is lovely. A wee walk along the lane and I can see right across the Severn Vale to the Forest of Dean and the Brecon Beacons. Gloucester Cathedral is on display, the River Severn sparkles. It's just beautiful.

Have a happy day my lovely xxxxx

[1ozzy]

Dry heat any day.

Just got back from 5 hrs in the "big smoke". Most unpleasant it was.

Angry, irrational people everywhere, observed arguments over parking spots, cash register queues. Whatever happened to patience and manners, they weren't young either.

Bought what I needed and hightailed it outer there ;-)

[1ozzy]

Morning Wee. inconsiderate idiots.

[waterboatman]

Morning wee. Some people change their personality when they get behind the wheel.

oz that's my thoughts on big towns too. everyone in a rush and good manners go out the window. Give me a village any day.
