[waterboatman]

Morning jan xxx minty's just asked my question! :o}

It's Vera's birthday today too.

[murraymints]

Ah Boaty x a day for nice thoughts and memories !

[waterboatman]

Yes indeed minty. We would have had a big barbie yesterday, but for the rain with about 35 people. With the rain we would have gone to the TA. :o}

[janbee]

Minty and boaty... YES!!! There isn't one teensy weensy little part of me NOT in pain right now. I ache everywhere. My knees and lower back especially. I still have huge blisters the size of dinner plates, on my heels. if anyone would like to donate to the charity, it's The Martlets Hospice, fundraising, Waylands Avenue, Hove, bn3 7lw east sussex. My entrant number was 2012. I know that a cheque, no matter how small, will be VERY much appreciated by them and a thank you in advance from me. I was asked right after if I would do it again and my IMMEDIATE response was a VERY emphatic NOOOOO, never again. However, after a sleep and a ton of painkillers, I think I just might do it all again. Watch this space ...

[janbee]

minty, where are you taking your Dad for lunch? Anywhere I would know or remember?

[waterboatman]

Well done jan. A cheque will be on it's way today. :o}

[janbee]

boaty, you are a star my dear and a great big thank you. I REALLY appreciate it . Thank you xx p.s. next time you're down in this neck of the woods, I owe you a dram(or two!) of Tullamore Dew !

[waterboatman]

Now there is an offer I can't refuse! :o} I may be over that way later on. I'm not sure yet. :o}

[murraymints]

Jan ..I'll gladly donate in memory of your dad...and your efforts on Friday of course....we are going to a restaurant in fairmilehead area called the tusitala....it used to be a smallish pub...the fairmile inn I think until it was bought and massively extended and modernised....it's about half a mile down from the crossroads at fairmilehead towards Edinburgh..very very nice..

Goodly morning peeps. xx

Was a tad late getting on yesters then had to go out.

Minty, hope you all have a lovely meal.

Jan, we're very proud of you me dear xxx

(It would've been my dad's 91st today, so mixed emotions)

[janbee]

Minty, I remember the Fairmile Inn. Gosh, that was a million years ago. I'd forgotten all about it. I only went there once and as I say, about a million years ago. Thank you too minty for sending a cheque to the Martlets. Very very kind. Thank you. Likewise, my offer stands... if you are down in this area anyime, let me know. I owe you.. a what? what is YOUR tipple? Do you have favourite malt? or do you prefer a glug of vino, or McEwans special or a G & T? Whatever... I owe you. Thank you. xx

[waterboatman]

minty and jan. the same applies if you are in this lovely county. At the TA of course! :o}
