Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Still murky out there. Wall to wall cloud with just the odd ragged hole in it. Flaming June. Yeah. Right! At least it's not raining...yet!
Right! That's the rant over! :o}
Friends coming to lunch today, I haven't seen them for a while so I'm looking forward to their arrival.
Anyone doing anything interesting today?

morning boaty, its the same here, been blowing a hoolie for 4 days, makes me wonder when we are going to get a respite.

[emmie]

if the weather was remotely nice i would likely pop out for a short walk.... but it looks like it won;t be so guess will have to find something else to do....

[waterboatman]

Morning emmie xxx Not too good is it!
I hope it clears for you to have a walk.

[emmie]

so do i, i haven't seen daylight in many days, its been too gusty to do much. what's on the menu for today's visit?

[waterboatman]

Potato soup with bacon and chives for starters, a gammon joint for main and a trifle for pud.

[emmie]

sounds lovely, i could do with visiting friends but mine have moved down to Islington, and its a bit far to go for a decent bit of grub. besides they are still in lockdown mode.

[waterboatman]

I hope they like it!

[emmie]

i am still worried about all these tests i have coming up, if only i knew when they were likely to be, then i have some way of putting these health issues into perspective. I must admit that for a while there i had been quite happy with my lot, but that has all changed, sorry to offload....

[waterboatman]

They are bringing there lovely wee dog, who will no doubt be supervising in the kitchen.

[emmie]

i am sure they will, are these the friends with the Parsons terrier?

[waterboatman]

Don't be sorry emmie. It helps to offload and I don't mind at all. :o}

[waterboatman]

Yes, that's them! :o}

[emmie]

if the tests were today i could cope with that, i like to get things sorted out and not worry about it. But not knowing what's wrong, if anything, has just about got to me... sqad i think believes that it's anxiety above all else, but i don't think that at all.

[emmie]

i am sure you will have a lovely day, the menu sounds delicious. The wee dog has been missed i suspect.

[waterboatman]

Very likely not emmie, but anxiety will play a part.

[waterboatman]

I hope so. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

[emmie]

do they live local to you, or do they have to drive..

[emmie]

i would love it if someone cooked for me, i am bored with the whole idea of cooking, can't find any interesting food stuffs, though it's not for want of trying.
But perhaps when this lockdown is over i can see friends again, and maybe invite them here...

[waterboatman]

They will drive, about half a mile, but they are at the bottom of the hill, which is quite steep, I'm at the top.

[emmie]

i can understand that they will drive. Are they long time friends..
