Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. It's been raining during the night. Not a lot, just a bit. Tiggy was out for his supper then went straight back to bed. I don't blame him!

I'm just watching the dawn ceremony at Gallipoli. One hundred years ago today. Very moving.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning Boaty, went to the march in town this morning. Best turn out I've seen in the 15 years we've been here.

Having fun repairing brakes, pads needed replacing, found a seized caliper just to add to the fun that had destroyed a rotor. I've come to a standstill now, need to order a pair of rotors on Monday.

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. That sounds expensive! Your best tool is a vast repertoire of rude words mate.

It's a very moving ceremony on the idiot box. The Prince of Wales is speaking. Something he does well.

[1ozzy]

Just thought I'd put you back on the scoreboard Boaty ;-).

Plans for the day?

Heading off to yet another 18th birthday celebration tonight, I'm getting to old for this. Three Saturday nights of partying in a row is a bit much for me.

[weecalf]

Morning all have a nice day 1ozzy I have been to birthday parties well sorta ranging from 80,70 4and going to another for a sixtieth and you are feeling old .

[waterboatman]

I'm still here mate. The rest must be having a lie-in.

I've got some shoplifting to do, it being Saturday, I'll see my favourite check out girl. She's been a friend of ours for about 20 years. She came to Vera's funeral. After that it very much depends on the weather. I got a lot done yesterday, so I don't mind a quiet day today.

18th birthday parties. I remember those, Going to pick them up after me and the other dads felt like dinosaurs. Good luck mate. :o}

[waterboatman]

Morning wee. I like to forget them these days, but my DIL always reminds me!

[1ozzy]

Morning Wee, hope you have a good day. I'll enjoy myself tonight, but not too much as I have to drive a few home it's about 60 ks away. The youngsters will want to stay till the wee hours, I'll be thinking of sleep ;-)

[waterboatman]

They'll be sleeping on the bus oz. At least it's Sunday tomorrow, you can have a lie-in mate. :o}

[1ozzy]

So will I be Boaty.
Auto pilot ;-)

[waterboatman]

Good plan! :o}

[1ozzy]

I'm no good at sleeping in Boaty, I used to be but these days, when the sparrows far t, I wake.

[waterboatman]

Same here oz. I'm up when I wake up, whatever the time. It goes back to when Vera had cancer the first time, 1998, I woke up about every 20 - 30 minutes to make sure she was OK. It's just continued.

[waterboatman]

Morning excel. You're right mate. It's soggy here too.

[1ozzy]

Morning Jan, just had a wet week ourselves, ended a couple of days ago.
Guess you won't be out for a canter this morning then.

What a good idea, Boaty could set up an environmentally friendly garden maintenance business, "Rent-a-Tiggy".

[1ozzy]

Hi Excel, so the employment is looking good now?
Hope so!

[janbee]

Otto, hope you got my email in the week?

Yes. I'm off out at 7.30. Meeting a couple of friends for a 3 mile trek this morning. Then, at 9.30, I'm meeting another friend for coffee and a Panini. Does life get any better?

[janbee]

Sorry Ex, forgot to say Good Morning xx
