Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Yesterday Was hot but a strong wind was blowing all day. Lots of weeds now waiting to go to the tip.

Hospice this morning. Hospital this afternoon. I know how to have fun! :o}

The wind has died down but it's going to be another hot one.

Have a happy day everyone.

[1ozzy]

Just a quick g'day. In the middle of domesticity, you're not the only one who knows how to have fun!

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. What's on the menu this evening?

[1ozzy]

Got heaps of fresh farm eggs, some thick sliced double smoked ham and baby English spinach by the bucket load. Reckon it may be a quiche tonight with some homemade sweet potato chips and garlic bread.

[1ozzy]

And how are you going?

[waterboatman]

That sounds like an excellent dinner to me mate. :o} I haven't done sweet potato chips for about six years. The deep fat fryer is due a degunge, I reckon I might do some than.

I'm fine ta. Overdid it a bit yesterday, but I got it done, knowing that today is easy. The hospice is always pleasure...believe it or not! The hospital is for the hearing clinic. Nothing dramatic. :o}

[waterboatman]

Than? Then, even! :o{

[welshtanner]

Good morning boys. Looks like another nice one. We had horrendous thunder and lightning yesterday morning and through the night bef0re.

[waterboatman]

Morning WT xxx Nothing here. I like the celestial pyrotechnics. :o} But they passed by here without as much as a wee pop.

[1ozzy]

Well done Boaty, had my hearing tested a couple of months ago, asked them to email the results to Mrs Oz...Ha ha, told her often enough she mumbles ;-).

Hi Wt, all good? We had very heavy rain all day yesters, beaut day today, blue sky, no wind very pleasant 24c, only need one jumper. More rain due though, about 4-5 days worth ;-(

Off to weekly village coffee morning this morning. Haven't been since middle of May so it will be nice to see them all again. I had a lovely bouquet of flowers and a card from them all when I came home.

[waterboatman]

I was in the Royal Artillery in the 60's and 70's, on the guns. No ear defenders then. When I was persuaded by Vera to have a hearing test, I was amazed at how much I had lost. Some frequencies completely gone. The hearing test machine, you have headphones on and a button in your hand, probably the same there oz, press the button every time you hear a beep. Vera said I missed more than I got!

Once the hearing aids were ready, a couple of weeks later, I tried them, loved them instantly, The delightful young lady fitting them suggested I leave them out until I got home. 'Not a chance!' Says I. So I kept them in. We got in the car and I started it up. 'Crikey!, That's loud!' I said. Vera just smiled. I'd always thought it was quiet!

Vera used to call me her deaf old badger!

[waterboatman]

That's lovely WT. I'm sure you will enjoy it. :o}

[1ozzy]

I'd better go park the machine that sucks, empty a mop bucket etc.

Have a great day both of you, take care, might pop in later.

"Deaf old badger" he he, I like it!
