Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. Our local lass tells us it's going to rain today. Wet weather gear on the canal then!

Have a happy day everyone.

[Sir Alec]

Good morning, WBM. I am curious. If I can play a song for you, on Mamya's thread, what would it be?
Am I being too pushy? Please tell me and i'll leave you alone. As I say, just curious..........

[waterboatman]

Morning Alec. xxx I'm always pleased to see you. :o}

If you would like to play something for me, River of Dreams by
Hayley Westenra is one of my favourites. That would be most acceptable. Thank you Alec. :o}

[Sir Alec]

Hello again WBM, it is on Mamya's thread on page 3 for you perusal. I didn't put it on here, re, past rebuffs!

[waterboatman]

Thank you Alec xxx It's a beautiful song by a beautiful young lady.

I know what you mean my dear. Some people can be very insensitive.

[Sir Alec]

Very welcome, WBM!

[waterboatman]

:o} By the way, I'm always up at this time, but I like to get any jobs of housework out of the way first.

[Sir Alec]

In the words of Mae West, "What a mayn".

[waterboatman]

:o} Since I live on my own I don't have a lot of choice. It has to be done since I refuse to live in a tip, so I like to get it out of the way, then I can forget about it. :o}

[fraser]

good morning hope you all have a good day in whatever you are doing

[waterboatman]

Morning fraser. Thank you, I hope the day goes well for you too. :o}

[Sir Alec]

I have just been outside to put mealworms out and there is a very pink sky, Red eyes at night, pushers delight, red eyes in the morning, drug squad warning! The rain will be good for my raspberries!

[seekeerz]

Good morning boaty, nice to see you again, how goes the world ?

[waterboatman]

Evening seekz. xxx How lovely to see you. :o} I'm in as fine a fettle as possible ta! Still playing Captain Pugwash on the canal. :o}

[waterboatman]

How are you? :o}

[seekeerz]

Very well, thank you it's a bit on the damp side here, but that doesn't bother me and the Spring flowers are starting to bloom so it's all good


Bet you've had some gorgeous days on the canal, has the weather been kind ( knowing how Summer can treat you sometimes )

[Sir Alec]

I am having this at my funeral, just as the coffin goes through the curtains......

It is indeed lovely on the canal this year seekz. It's the best summer for about six years. The last few non-summers have not done the wildlife any favours. I haven't seen a Kingfisher on the canal for 5 years, Not seen a water vole for the same time, not seen a heron for four years. We need a few good summers now to bring them back.

[waterboatman]

arf arf arf Alec! I like it! :o} I'm having the song you played for me.

[emmie]

morning - very humid, rain forecast, oh well it's been good

[waterboatman]

Morning em xxx The sun will return, fear not! :o}
