Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Cloudy this morning. A light breeze, but it's got teeth.

Tiggy was out for a rootle round the garden, then had his supper and went to bed.

The delights of Stroud and then to the canal today

Have a happy day everyone.

[lady-janine]

[waterboatman]

Morning LJ. xxx How are you this morning?

It could well be so. I'm going to the Museum in the Park in Stroud. It's in a lovely setting. The canal is always a pleasure.

[waterboatman]

You woke it up too early. :o}

[lady-janine]

sorry had to recover webpage again.

that does sound like a good day.

yes I know. been awake since 2.45. may go back to bed to try to get some more zzzzzzz's.

[waterboatman]

Good plan LJ.

I've been up since 3.30. No chance of going back to sleep.

[lady-janine]

why do I have so many problems with AB?

[waterboatman]

Good question LJ. Mine is behaving...at the moment.

Is it worth calling your provider? They may be able to help. It could be a line fault, or your router.

[lady-janine]

got some shopping to do today. oh joy.

[waterboatman]

You know how to have fun! ;o}

[lady-janine]

yes I know. had a good day yester and got silver pressie made.

[waterboatman]

Well done you! :o} There are some really beautiful items around. I always looked for things handmade by local people.

Both our rings were hand made by local crafts folk. Vera's Claddagh was hand made in the workshop of the man that invented it.

The two silver rings were made for us in a wee workshop/shop on the quayside in Dingle. Vera lost hers when it came off her finger when she was losing weight with the cancer. I wear her Claddagh on my right hand, little finger.

[lady-janine]

that. the one I made use i'm not an expert. just polished and hammered and twisted.

[waterboatman]

I'll bet it looks good anyway. :o} Everyone has to start somewhere. I can remember some of the early things I made. Absolute rubbish! :o} But it's all good practice.

The silver rings were hand made by a wee lassie in the shop. she measured our fingers and made them in a day. We collected them the following morning.

[lady-janine]

should read : that is nice.

think i'll go and try for some more zzzzzz's.

hope some comes along soon to chat with you. take care and have a good day. xx
