Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Not a cloud in sight this morning. So I hope it's going to be the same again today. Quite warm through the night too, so tiggy is still out and about, he's had his supper though.

England v Wales today. It's going to be a good'un methinks.

Have a happy day everyone.

You must be getting some Oz weather Boaty.
Enjoy it while it lasts ;-)

In saying that, a chilly start here and a cool breeze most of the day.
A day in front of the idiot box watching footy?

Off to the awards night tonight for us, should be a good night, except for the fact I'll be the designated driver,,,,sob, sob.

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. I will be watching the match right enough so I will.

It's a vital match for both countries. The weather should not be a factor though. I have the real ale in. :o}

You drew the short straw for this evening then mate. Never mind, you can make up for it tomorrow.

Did you have a look at this wee place?

[1ozzy]

Some has to do it Boaty, it's young master Ozzies big night so would be unfair of me to tell him he's driving. Truth be known he'd tell to to get stuffed ;-).

I've had an armchair wander around Cam before but with the info you have sent me I'll be looking again when I'm allowed on the real 'putor. This old lappy doesn't handle google earth or videos, etc. very well.

I'll pop you back similar info on our digs so you can see how far away from everything we are ;-)

[waterboatman]

You're right mate. I would do the same thing.

I would indeed like to see your home, albeit on the poota.

It's just beginning to glow along the hilltop.

[1ozzy]

Hopefully a good day for you Boaty.


I'll bet pounds to peanuts Master Oz will pick up an award tonight, if not it'll be the first time in 16 years of playing the game for a variety of clubs and academies.

[waterboatman]

Thanks mate.

I hope oz jnr. picks up a big award. Form the sounds of it he will! :o}

You can relax with a wee tipple or six when you get home...or tomorrow.

[waterboatman]

There here letters are playing silly games and swapping places.

From, not form. can't get the staff, can you!

[1ozzy]

Probably arrive home in the wee hours, and find the fridge ;-).

I'll get a bit primed before we leave, someone else can drive there, then indulge in no alcohol all night. Be under the limit by home time.

Drink driving is not on my agenda.

[1ozzy]

When it comes to League Boaty, he is always in good "form" ;-)

[waterboatman]

That's an excellent plan oz. It makes a lot of sense to me. With us, I would usually drive there and Vera would drive home, as she never drank much when we were out. But we would put some away when we stayed in. She could keep up with me on white wine and TD! She liked a real ale occasionally too. We've been known to put away two, sometimes three bottles of dry white wine then hammer the TD. Always a good evening.

[1ozzy]

Reckon I would have liked Vera, very much!!

Mrs Oz doesn't mind a vino or a few either.

I usually do the night driving as her night vision ain't the best.

Oncoming headlights sort of make her look like an owl being given the third degree, spotlights and all ;-)

Morning birdies, beautiful morning up here in Wales. Duck egg blue sky and the sun just crawling up. Not a cloud or breath of wind, but cold. Battle lines are drawn in this house ready for tonight. 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' is Welsh, I am English. Could get tense.

[waterboatman]

He should bring something home then mate. If he does, please say 'Well done' for me mate.

I remember one birthday, she always bought me a bottle of TD.

This particular birthday, (1997) Gloucestershire were playing cricket against, I think, Cheshire, It was a warm day. Vera work her hours so that she could have the afternoon off. We sat with our feet up on the coffee table and saw off that bottle of TD while we watched Jack Russell in his tatty old gear bossing the team about while keeping wicket. He was the best in the world then. A great afternoon it was. We went out to dinner that evening, but to a pub within walking distance. That was the best birthday ever. ;o}

[1ozzy]

Just make sure you grab the "remote" Togo, in case it doesn't go your way ;-)

[waterboatman]

Morning togo. Sounds like a good, lively afternoon in your house then mate. :o}

oz I'm sure we would have had many a good evening the four of us.

[1ozzy]

A day like that Boaty I'd remember for ever, and a day!!

[Togo]

Two TV house guys. 'She who must' In the lounge surrounded by leeks and daffodils, I will be in the Kitchen, with the dog running from one room to the other depending on who is shouting the most. Drinks will be taken.

Morning all from Surrey - what a horrendous trip up here, nearly 7.5 hours.....Bodmin took over an hour to clear - where they are turning the first of our two lane carriageways into double as you climb onto the moor and then there was a massive smash up on the eastern end of the Somerset levels....when 4 police cars, two ambulances, a fire engine and an incident unit come past, it was time to get off the A303 and wind through the lanes to Sherborne and then up the A30 to then come back on the far side of Wincanton, the A303 quiet then until the M3 - and that is one massive construction site from Basingstoke to the M25... To add insult to injury, someone chipped up a stone on Bodmin and there's a lovely 10 inch crack already - may well go into Guildford if it is worse this morning.....it's a rental.

[waterboatman]

Sounds interesting togo. :o}

Exactly oz. A wonderful day, so it was. Gloucester shire won, just to top it off in proper style!

[waterboatman]

Morning DT. A journey to forget that will stay in your mind mate. It being a hire car helps. I'd take it in soonest, then they can't blame you for it.
