Good Morning Early Birds

[WELSHYORKIE]

Monday morning - tough day ahead pour moi but some good news to impart - on Sunday morning the GFs granddaughter gave birth to a 5lb 11 and half oz girl - named Poppy Wyn. G has been doing my head in all weekend when the Gd went into labour. Though we are not yet wed, I am going to known as great granddad. As for that thing about men crying over the birth - don't be silly, of course we all did!! Have a happy day

Morning Welshie. Great news mate! :o} Welcome to the world Poppy!

Celebrations all round no doubt! :o}

Will you be able to concentrate on work today?

Morning Skipper, yesterday was bloody pandemonium. Got woken up by a screaming banshee at 7.25 when I was having a lovely dream about Raquel Welch...... hey, ho ...... I had gathered that little Poppy had come into the world so had to shove Raquel out of bed and leave the land of nod. We got to see her at afternoon visiting and she was tiny - sorry, bit obvious that - and a picture of health and happiness. Mum was exhausted as she had been in labour since the early hours of Saturday so had endured about 30 hours of contractions!!

Morning great grandpa xxx Boaty xxx ....great news welshie ....congratulations to you and G xx

[WELSHYORKIE]

As for work - I have to, it's a critical day in our financial year. Board meeting had been convened and we have to have interim figures ready by tomorrow - I appear to be in need of changing into my superman outfit sometime during the morning

[waterboatman]

Poor mum! That is doing things the hard way! Is it her first? If so it could be the last! But well done mum.

I'm sure Raquel will be back for some more tonight mate. :o}

Morning minty xxx How's you this morning? :o}

[murraymints]

Welshie in lycra and pants on top ? No no no...it's all wrong !

[WELSHYORKIE]

Cheers, Minty, herself had the biggest smile i've ever seen on her face yesterday. I'm hoping to get photos tonight from Gs son to download onto disc - so watch out for an e-mail tomorrow sometime!!

[murraymints]

Fine Boaty xx bit tired have not had a good night sleepwise !

[murraymints]

That will be something to look forward to welshie ...so exciting to have a new baby around !

[waterboatman]

Not good minty. Any reason? Or just one of 'those' nights?

I'll look forward to that Welshie. :o}

[WELSHYORKIE]

Boaty - yes, it's her first, but don't think it will be her last. I think she'll be a great mum, she has the right attitude and won't be like a lot of young girls, passing baby to granny to look after while they go out gallivanting. She's more of a homemaker type.

[murraymints]

Just one of those nights Boaty ....Will have to try to stay up bit later tonight...

[waterboatman]

That's the stuff a good mum is made of right enough mate. I was joking re the only one. She will put those v30 hours to the back of her mind. :o}

[WELSHYORKIE]

Gawd, for a minute then, Minty, I thought you meant the superman outfit when you said 'something to look forward to' - and, yes, nothing to lift the spirits than a new arrival - good news for a change.

[waterboatman]

They happen minty. They are usually followed by a good night 'cos you're too knackered to stay awake! :o}

[waterboatman]

Babies have that effect on people. We had a three week old on the boat yesterday. Very proud parents eager to show her off! Her name is Holly. Her surname? Wood. Not the best choice of name methinks!

[WELSHYORKIE]

I did jokingly aske her if she had tied her partners tubes off yet, smiled and said no, with a glint in her eye. I think she'll be back in the labour ward in a couple of years - she will be getting plenty of good advice from G about not going back too soon though.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Boaty - we have a French polisher based in Colwyn Bay called Wood - Mark Wood!!!

[waterboatman]

arf arf arf. How appropriate! Except his job is to remove marks! :o}
