Good Morning Good Very Early Birds !

Morning all !

Its not often I get in here first !

I am off to Cornwall at 04:00, just as soon as I have had a shave and made the flask of tea. I am firmly convinced that its impossible to make a long car journey without the support of regular tea breaks, and Lands End is a long way away. I should be there by about 08:30, just in time for breakfast !

Its very mild out this morning and it looks as if its going to be sunny after lunch where I am going, although the Easter Weekend looks very rainy.

Speak with you all later ! ( in Cornish ! )

Morning BB.....waiting for British Gas.....made an appointment for my perfectly working boiler service......and the boiler took umbrage and dropped its pressure in a whoosh....straight into red........ :-(

[stuey]

Cornwall...Penzance, Mikey? Watch out for the pirates, and don't forget your pinafore.

Stuey...I never go anywhere without my pinny.

Strange journey down here today. All the way through South Wales, on the M4, it was very mild....at least +8-9. But as soon as we went over the bridge and then started down through Somerset, the weather completely changed....Very cold....minus 1, frosty, and very misty. The Somerset Levels are always in danger of mist but it was almost ethereal this morning....very ghostly looking.

But as soon as I got on the A30 at Exeter, the temperature steadily climbed up to +5. Its been a super day here west of Penzance...really warm and sunny. We have been sitting outside for the first time this year. There is hardly any wind, and I could feel my arms starting to burn a bit.

We have the oddest weather here in Britain !

But now feeling a bit stretched, as it were, so an nice kip for an hour or two is called for....must get ready for the Cocktail Hour !

Have a good break Mikey!

[mikey4444]

Is it still too early to have a Martini ?

[pixie374]

Go for it :-) you're in a different time zone now x

[sandyRoe]

Was that pasty as tasty as you remembered?

[cupid04]

Is it too late to have a cream tea...Though I prefer Devonshire clotted cream with mine!

[mikey4444]

LOL Pixie !...too ruddy right !

[mikey4444]

Yes Sandy...absence make the heart grow fonder !

And lol to you Hoppy as well !

When I was a lad in the 60's, the only "dirty book" that was freely available
was "Lady Chatterley's Lover"

In many ways, it was a incredibly magic book, because not matter how many times you threw it up in the air in the playground, it always ended up on the floor, open at the same page !

Marvellous when you think about it...how did the book know ?

I envy the adolescent boys of today...titillation is so easy to come by these now. All they have to do is to wander into their nearest Charity Shop, on the way home from school, and what more innocent activity could there be......browsing in the second-hand bookshop section !

When I was a lad any porn we saw had loads of chiffon, and you had to imagine much of what it was hiding.

Not any more (so I hear)
