Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Sunday. All serene outside at the moment. How long for we shall see.

It was quiet on the canal yesterday. Only 31 visitors, who spent all of £36.

On the up side, those 31 people were all lovely, so we enjoyed their company.

We've had worse days!

When I went to pick up my mate, his wife presented me with a late xmas present. A bottle of TD. I think that was lovely. So I'm a happy bunny. :o}

The washing machine is churning away, life goes on!

Have a happy day everyone.

TD?

The Dalmore?

Tullamore Dew?

Tesco's Dishwater?

Morning Boaty, once the English summer hits surely the activity on the canal will increase.

Been pretty busy here organising for the last two to fly the coop.

It'll feel strange soon.

Wish I received a bottle of TD as a pressie, sob sob.

Hey Chris, all good in your neck of the woods?

[waterboatman]

Morning Chris. Tullamore Dew of course. Nectar of the gods. :o}

How are you mate?

[wolf63]

Chris - its written in code.

I am off back to bed. Frankie woke me up for breakfast and I was up, dressed and down stairs before realising that it was only three something in the fekking morning. He is now waiting for me to go upstairs. His sister has slept through it all - she gets up around lunchtime.


Have a good day gentlemen.

Afternoon oz. Yes, it will. The short boat trips start at Easter, the charters whenever anyone wants one. The annual refresher in March. Great joy! :-\

Empty nest syndrome. I remember it well.

[Buenchico]

Good morning, Boaty & 1ozzy

I'm 'as well as can be expected' for my age, thank you ;-)

I can't quite decide what's the perfect whisky (or 'whiskey', if it's Irish!) for me these days. I used to absolutely love the really peaty whiskies, with the wonderful Laphroaig being my firm favourite but I simply can't drink it these days. (It tastes like rather unpleasant medicine to me now). So I'm looking for something gentler on the palate but preferably not at too great a cost (which rules out Talisker, for example!). I'll probably find something eventually but, for the time being, I'll stick to working my way through the fantastic range of Belgian (and other) beers that our local farm shop sells ;-)

[waterboatman]

So much for "fifteen minutes" minty! ;o} I hope you find sis has been abducted by aliens or something! :o}

[Buenchico]

Good morning (or good night), Wolfie.

Hiya, Minty.

[murraymints]

hmmm... lol

[murraymints]

how many cats do you have now Chris ?

[waterboatman]

My sympathy Chris. TD is about £20 a bottle. Not peaty though. It's very smooth.

[murraymints]

whisky is 'orrible stuff !! can't stand the smell, reminds me of granny and hot toddy for colds..yeuch !

[1ozzy]

I can understand the cost part of things Chris. I drink cheap lager whereas my boys like the boutique stuff. End result is if I run out I'll drink theirs, if they run out, mine is safe ;-)

Got it sussed here!!!

[waterboatman]

Nice one oz! :o}

minty each to their own my lovely. :o}
