Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. Good. innit! :o}

Well it's not raining at the moment. Poor wee tiggy was out for his supper then went back to bed again. I don't blame him. I haven't seen the young lady hedgehog since the one time she was with him.

I thought I was in the Visitor Centre on the canal today. I phoned my mate to check he would be ready. He reminded me that it had been changed to help another team out. I'd forgotten to take it off the oracle. Can't get the staff, can you! So I have the day off. Wonderful! :o}

Have a happy day everyone.

[Old_Geezer]

Well, have a good friday anyway.

[waterboatman]

Morning OG. I'll try. :o} Today is supposed to be good weather, with the rest of the weekend being rubbish. Such is life.

How are you mate?

[Old_Geezer]

Not so bad thanks. Again awake too early and failing to resist having a quick surf around favoured sites before dropping back off. How are you getting on; busy day ahead ?

[waterboatman]

I'm fine thanks. I might do something radical, like hoover out the car. I(t hasn't been done for ages. Then I've got a pile of ironing that needs doing. Such an exciting day ahead. Are you doing anything nice?

[waterboatman]

I like this time of day, especially in the summer.

[Old_Geezer]

Nothing exciting. I've a lot of housework to get through. I've let the place get untidy so it needs a sort out. But now you mention the car, it could do with the same really. Still, it's the season for spring cleaning isn't it.

[waterboatman]

It is indeed. I'll have to find some springs that need cleaning. :o}

The dust could do with a bit of a new pattern in it too.

[Hypognosis]

Good mebs, boaty and O_G.

I hope you haven't had to put up with too much teasing, this week, boaty, after this?

If there was a thread about it, I somehow missed it. Silliest thing in the news for a long while and made me smile. The ingenuity and naughtiness of the British public gives me hope for the future. :o)

[waterboatman]

Morning hypo. There was a bit. when I found out what it was about I thought it was great. :o} It just goes to show they are not all stuffed shirts doesn't it.

How are you this fine morning?

[ummmm]

Morning all

[waterboatman]

Morning ummmm xxx How are you this morning? :o}

[ummmm]

Sad....my mates dad has been taken ill and is hospital in Galway. He was an amazing inspiration...he taught me how to judge men.

[waterboatman]

That is sad news ummmm. I can imagine how you are feeling. I can only hope he comes through it alright.

[Smowball]

That's sad ummm. He sounds a lovely man

[waterboatman]

Morning smow. Long time no see. How are you?

[-Talbot-]

Morning all.
Didn't want to get up this early but apparently we now have a dog and the bloody thing wonuldnt stop barking :0/

[mikey4444]

Morning all !

Just had a wonderful sunrise down here in Cornwall ! It looks as if its going to be a smashing day. Yesterday was awful...windy and v rainy.

We have just been out for our wee-wee walkies and its not even cold....no wind to speak of either.....fingers crossed for the rest of the day !

Going to Lidl later on. They sell this ruddy wonderful round crusty loaf with "bits" in....very yummy indeed. Unlike most things in Lidl, its not cery cheap....about £1:29 but its well worth the extra cost. Hope to get some free range eggs this morning from the village shop. I don't know what they feed the poultry on down here but the eggs are definitely much more tasty. Might have duck eggs if they have them.

[mikey4444]

Talbot...dogs are to be obeyed I'm afraid.......... Little Willy has been mythering for his wee-wee walk since 05:00 and I couldn't stand his woofling any longer !

[waterboatman]

Morning talbot. dogs tend to do that mate. :o}

Morning mikey. It's going to be a beautiful day indeed, but make the most of it, the rest of the weekend is going to be rubbish.

I get all my eggs from a free range organic farm. Can't beat them. Hens, ducks and geese eggs.

[waterboatman]

I'm planning a duck egg omelette for lunch today.
