Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Some dew about this morning. Calm and rather pleasent out.
Tiggy is still patrolling the back garden. He'll be off to bed as soon as it starts to get light.

I'm hoping it will be a nice, warm and sunny as yesterday. If so I'll get the pressure washer out and get the patio ready for the barbie to come out of the shed, along with the table and chairs.

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning Skipxx and all who join us this lovely Spring morning.
The Cherry trees are in full bloom and they look gorgeous.

Morning Boaty and Ells, all good this morning?

Had a good storm earlier, finished now, just windy and chilly. Leaves on our Claret Ash trees are changing colour and starting to drop. Be wood cutting time soon.

[waterboatman]

Morning Ell. xxx Yes. It's beginning to look like spring is sprung isn't it. :o}

It's nice to see you. Did you have a wee dram with me over the weekend? :o}

[ellsman]

'morning One Oz, Spring is truly here," We've been around the Sun., well done everyone"...lol.

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. You must be pleased it's cooling down a bit.

[ellsman]

Hiya Skip, indeed, I may have had a glass or two of Spain's finest.xx

[waterboatman]

El we steered true course and came to where we should be. ;o} good, eh! :o}

[waterboatman]

I indulged in a drop or six of of a very nice shiraz from the land of oz. :o}

[ellsman]

Oh I don't know, some would say I'm not 'all there'...some would...lol.xx

[waterboatman]

Nothing wrong with that ell. You can get away with all sorts of fun. :o}

[1ozzy]

I don't overly mind the heat. A dry heat ain't too hard to handle, humidity ruins me but we don't get much of that. I quite like the cold too, (Mrs. Oz doesn't, just means I have to be patient ;-)).
Spring and Autumn all year round would suit me nicely.

I'll be sharpening chainsaws and enticing young Ozzies to "go bush" with me before long.

[waterboatman]

Call it adventure training oz. By the time they realise they've been conned it's too late. ;o}

[ellsman]

I have to leave you two nice people now, full of resentment at having to work for my crusts....sigh. Hi to all who join you later. Have a happy day.xx

[1ozzy]

What breed of Shiraz Boaty?

They are a good pair of lads, cut and split a bit over five tons last year. I only put it in the fire place. Quite an effort on their behalf, borrowed a 4 wheel drive ute, chugged up mountains and brought it home ready to go.

[1ozzy]

Have a good day Ells.

[waterboatman]

Lovely to see you ells. Have a happy day. xxxxx :o}

[waterboatman]

Good for them oz. Good lads.

Lidl's own label. They do some good stuff for good prices.

[1ozzy]

We don't have Lidl out here, Aldi set up shop some years ago but both stores are 100k's away from us.
Don't find much in the way of "own brand" plonk here.

[1ozzy]

Bye the way, Cupid sends her greetings to you Boaty.

[waterboatman]

Bless her. Thanks oz. :o}

You don't need the own brand stuff mate, not with good vineyards on your doorstep to get the real deal.
