Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Another month begins, the last one for this year!
The sky is wall to wall cloud again. Such is life.
Nothing on the calendar for today, which is just as well as I don't feel lie doing much. So I think a day of writing Christmas cards.
My hospital appointment didn't happen. My friend, who was going to take me had to take her hubby to Cheltenham General Hospital at a rate of knots. I phoned Gloucester Royal to tell them and they are going to send me a new date. Ain't life fun!
My scooter is making strange noises, so my mate, who looks after it, is coming today to have a look at it, so no trip into Dursley today, I'll phone my newsagent to let him know. All go, innit!

Have a happy day everyone.

Hope you get your F1 machine fixed Boaty and it is nothing serious that is wrong.

Morning jim and LJ xxx
Thanks LJ, I hope it's nothing expensive! I can't go far without it. I'm going to have to walk to the shop round the corner, about half a mile each way. Not looking forward to that. At least it's dry!
I hope also that you can get some sleep.
I'll have to phone my newsagent, also a friend, to let him know I won't be in today.

[lady-janine]

Is ther anyone who lives nearby who would collect it for you this once?

[waterboatman]

No-one that I know well enough. I'll take my time and I'll be OK. To think I used to love ten mile runs!

[lady-janine]

Just take care.

[waterboatman]

Thanks. I'll do that right enough. there is no need to rush. I'm hoping he will bring one for me to use.

[waterboatman]
