Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. A fine drizzle being blown about this morning, the fine stuff that finds it's way everywhere. I hope it stops before I go out. If not I won't be out long.

Tiggy is still asleep, but he has moved a wee bit. Not good. I'll check him again when it's light enough.

Can't think of anything else, so there either isn't anything, or I'm not awake yet. Take your pick!

Have a happy day everyone.

End of Tuesday, stinking hot, overcast and muggy.
Thunder but no action.

Oh well, that's life.

How's U Boaty?

[NoMercy]

Morning chaps. I've been awake since about 3:30 - timer to go and stick kettle on I think.

How are you both?

[waterboatman]

G'day oz. How am I? I'll let you know when I wake up about lunch time. :o}

I'm fine ta mate.

Morning NM. xxx Still waiting then? Cuppa. Good plan!

[waterboatman]

Hows things in downsideupland today?

[1ozzy]

All is good down under thanks Nom.

And you?

Counting down to the happy day?

Bet you will be glad when "the bump" arrives.

[1ozzy]

Downsideupland is ok thanks.

Hot sweaty and covered in sawdust, tub time soon ;-/

[NoMercy]

Baby due tomorrow - but no sign of labour yet. Midwife might be able to get things started tomorrow morning, fingers crossed xx

[waterboatman]

We could do with a bit of hot and sticky here mate.

NM I hope it goes well and baby arrives without a fight.

[1ozzy]

It's so exciting Nom.

Never delivered a bump myself but helped make four.

They are all grown up now, having and raising a family, best thing I ever did.

Fingers crossed for you, hope everything goes well.

[waterboatman]

I've delivered several babies in medic days. Always an amazing event.

[1ozzy]

Does that make you a "midhusband" Boaty?

[waterboatman]

It should be, shouldn't it! But no, just a male midwife.

[ummmm]

Morning all.

[waterboatman]

Morning ummmm xxx how are you this morning?

[1ozzy]

G'day Ummmm, any spills and thrills?

[NoMercy]

Well I never dreamt of becoming a mother at 41 but I'm sure I'll love it nonetheless.

Changing subject completely... one or two spooky goings-on here in the last couple of days. I just heard the rustling of coats in the pantry and, at the same time, one of the lights in the kitchen above my head started flickering. Yesterday when I was lying down in the sitting room I heard one of the dining chairs being pulled out from under the table. Trés odd ...

[waterboatman]

Someone letting you know they are there NM. Good well be someone who wants to see your baby arrive safely.

[waterboatman]

good? Could! duh!

[NoMercy]

I never thought of that, WBM!

Tomorrow would have been my Nan's birthday. It'll be 6 years this May since she died. I always thought it strange that the baby would be due on her birthday - of all the days of the year!

[waterboatman]

Whoever it is doesn't mean you any harm NM. It could well be your Nan. How did you feel when it happened?
