Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Thursday already, the days are going fast. I hope you are in fine fettle and that your day is a good one, any plans for today?

[1ozzy]

Hope you're feeling fine today Em.
Indeed the days do feel shorter when compared to my youthful times.
I'll start the mower soonish and give the place a haircut.

What's on your agenda?

[emmie]

morning 1ozzy

nothing on the agenda as such, can't bring myself just to go out for the sake of it, have no shopping to get, nor can i roam far and wide with dodgy knees.
how are you today?

[emmie]

you keeping busy i see, that's good, i might find a book later and have a read other than that no plans....

[sanmac]

Good evening to you both. I just finished watching The Great Escape for the 4th time...Well, there was nothing else on really. Nothing major on the agenda for tomorrow, just hanging around and probably do a lot of reading...Exciting, eh?

[emmie]

morning sanmac

[1ozzy]

Busy enough for me.
2 hours fixing things for Mrs Steptoe, a few cryptic crosswords to fill the day.
Can't overdose on fun ;-/

[emmie]

almost as good as me sanmac... exciting life we lead.

[emmie]

well at least you have stuff to do 1ozzy....

[1ozzy]

Hi Mac, I'm amazed how Steve McQueens motorcycle changes when he jumps the fence.
I believe white men can't jump, neither can old Harley Davidsons.

[sanmac]

I do have to take a bunch of cardboard down to the recycling station in the basement, and on the way back check the mail. There might even be a cheque in the mail...Now that might be exciting:)

[emmie]

i have seen the movie several times, but confess it's not a favourite.

[1ozzy]

Well, I'm not sure its a plus Em.
But it does fill in some time

[emmie]

i have nothing but bills coming up, though i did get my pension payment yesterday, which was useful...

[1ozzy]

I'm jealous Mac.
So much to do, so little time.

[emmie]

all our energy prices are going sky high, i have renegotiated a new contract with the electricity/gas supplier to pay the same as last month but have been warned that it's going to change during April which i am concerned about, and that it may go up again during the year.

[sanmac]

I don't now enough about motor-bikes to tell the difference,1ozzy, but it is interesting to read about continuity errors in movies.

[emmie]

in the movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe, he was in the arena where the chariots race around, and in one shot you can see an engine underneath the chariot, something not invented for another 2,000 or so years, strange things you notice......

[1ozzy]

I should have been born in the primate world Mac.
Not because I'm rather lazy, more so for my nitpicking skills.

[sanmac]

How much do you pay over there, emmie? My last month's electrical bill was $55 which is around 32 pounds.

[emmie]

as a single householder in a flat my energy bills were quite low, i don't have central heating, so to suddenly go from 30 a month to 40 was a surprise, and this is due to go up again, so could be paying 50 or more a month, a large chunk out of my SP.
