Five Years Ago...

[gness]

...my 3M friends and I went to London to celebrate D's sixtieth.....

It must have been the wettest day in the history of London...S took ill in Buck House....trying to help her out to a bench in the garden (wearing a white skirt) I fell backwards and sat in a huge puddle....clingy, wet white is not a good look......

The clouds burst while we were on The Eye......we saw nothing but the windows steaming up.....

There was a bomb threat at one underground and the station we were sent to flooded.....

L lost the ticket to get our car out of the car park......though we did charm the guard into not fining us......or he felt sorry for the bedraggled pensioners trying to charm him...not sure which.

Tomorrow we are off to celebrate her sixty fifth....on a boat on the Thames.....

It'll be fine...won't it?....:-(

I'd take a lifejacket with you this time, gness. I mean what possibly could go wrong.

[murraymints]

[Psybbo]

What could possibly go wrong? but it's guaranteed Good luck

Accuweather sees a gap in the rain around 2pm (followed by thunderstorms). Is it an open boat?

[tonyav]

Isn't a rowing boat is it, gness ?.

[gness]

Accuweather!!!!! Arrgghhhh!! I'll go with the Met office.... it will rain, of course it will, probably all day, Ginge.. ...don't know about the boat....

Minty....you stay indoors tomorrow.....I'll do the scary stuff...☺

No faith, Tony and Psyb?...x

[marval]

I am sure whatever happens you will enjoy it. I am also sure you will come back with a tale to tell.

[Psybbo]

Compete faith in you Gness, must warn son

[tonyav]

Rain or not I'm sure you'll have a good time.

I'd definitely sail with the BBC, they say there's going to be a shower or two at 2pm and 3pm but otherwise okay. But you have to have proof you've paid your TV licence.

[gness]

I'm always just glad to come back, Marval....but it will be good....

Psyb...would the son like to meet up with us?

TV licence?......Hmmmmm...☺
