Good morning early birds!

A very happy Easter to one and all. Don't eat too many eggs!

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning, WBM. Nice to see you back at the helm. Still pitch black dark here, so nothing much to report - other than I can't sleep. x x

[waterboatman]

Morning NM. I know, you have a lie-in and someone nicks your thread, can't get the staff can you :-)

It's still dark here too, but the wind has dropped and it's not raining . . . yet.
Why can't you sleep?

[NoMercy]

Aww sorry about that, WBM. I thought you were having the day off yesterday.

I can't sleep when I've had a meal and a few drinks. I always wake up thirsty in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Once my mother goes home next Friday, I'm having a month of not drinking ! lol

[waterboatman]

no probs NM. :-) It's odd, but I know what you mean. You'd think a good nosh and a tipple or six would knock you out wouldn't you. but it always seems to have the opposite effect.
A strange beastie is nature!

[NoMercy]

I guess, initially, the booze acts as a sedative. But once the body begins to process the alcohol, it becomes a stimulant. It always interferes with my sleep and I've not really drank all that much since I quit the cigs almost 11 weeks ago. I'm out of shape, WBM. A five-year-old could drink me under the table now, I daresay.... :-(

[waterboatman]

Well done giving up the weed NM. full marks. That can do strange things to you for sure!
I would recommend gentle exercise to get into shape, gradually increasing until you are fit again. If you don't overdo it, you should find it enjoyable . . . Honest!

[NoMercy]

Oh, I'm fit and healthy in every sense... just not fit in the "drinking" sense. I'm out of practice ;-)

[waterboatman]

Now I'm with you! the advice still applies though! ;-) In the drinking sense, of course!

[society]

Good morning and good day Waterboatman and NoM.

[waterboatman]

Morning society. How are you today?

[hippyhoppy]

Morning chaps and chicks - I can't believe I didn't go out last night but I still lost my phone.. I think that thing must be cursed!!

[waterboatman]

Morning poppet. xxx Let me get this straight. Did you lose your phone, find it, then lose it again?

[hippyhoppy]

Daddy - panic over - I've found it! (under the bed ?!) - went out Thursday (lost the phone) then Friday (lost the phone) - stayed in last night (zonked out on the couch) and couldn;t find the phone this morning.. talk about rediculous!!!

[waterboatman]

LOL poppet. Are we talking about the same phone?

[boxtops]

Good morning, and a happy Easter Day to one and all. The sun is struggling through here. We are an egg-free zone, that is apart from the chicken eggs in the fridge....

[society]

I'm fine thanks, hope you are too. I've noticed that your good morning threads are the highlights of these days, and the most interesting ones on Chatterbank.

[hippyhoppy]

Yes daddy - it keeps coming back like a boomerang!!!

[waterboatman]

Thank you society. We aim to please and amuse. don't always succeed, but we try.
