Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Sunday already, where has this week gone to. I hope that you are all well and that your day is a good one. I have been invited to brunch at a friends later this afternoon, which will be great. They are doing a fry up apparently which i haven't had for ages. Also i will watch the service from the Cenotaph, which i do every year, with a grateful heart for our wonderful armed services, the Veterans and those who march on behalf of others.

If it wasn't for the veterans most of us wouldn't enjoy the life we have.

Morning Em.

Brunch sounds wonderful, think of all that cholesterol in a fry up.
I'm drooling, love a good fry up.

morning 1ozzy

[emmie]

indeed we wouldn't have the life we have now, if it weren't for brave men and women. I met a veteran and his wife yesterday in the local, we had a long chat, he had been a sailor aboard HMS Tiger, not sure where he served but he will be in the march past this morning. Lovely couple.

[emmie]

how are you today?

[1ozzy]

I love chatting with older people Em.
The knowledge they can pass on is invaluable.
We can all learn from it.

Hope you bought them a drink;-)

[emmie]

i tried to buy them a beer but he said no thank you, but bought me one which was kind, i wish we had had more time to talk, fascinating man.

[1ozzy]

I'm hunky-dory thanks.

Did a deal with Mrs Steptoe today, cash in pocket and a brand new bar fridge.
Happy camper here :-)

[emmie]

that's good you finally got paid.. and a bar fridge too

[emmie]

the couple i mentioned were on a pub crawl, finding out about their history - they had come down from Skipton in Yorkshire for a couple of days so he could be in the march past today, lovely man

Morning. Nothing particular planned for today, just work.

My arm is beginning to settle now following my double jabs on Friday. Ironically I've been feeling terrible for weeks, I had the jab on Friday and felt awful and woke up on Saturday feeling better than I'd felt in ages.

I honestly think water and rest are the best medicines.

morning Lcg

[emmie]

i expect you are right Lcg,

Skipton in Yorkshire rings a bell with me Em.
Born in Yorkshire, my parents talked a lot about Skipton Hall.

[emmie]

i know of it, but not been there, its North Yorkshire i believe.

[1ozzy]

And apparently there is a piece of furniture my great grandfather made that is now displayed in Skipton Hall.
Doubt my furnishings will become museum pieces;-(

[emmie]

was he a master carpenter 1ozzy....

[1ozzy]

I suspect he was an awesome cabinet maker Em.

[emmie]

you must have his genes, though i can tell you don't rate yourself in the same category.

[1ozzy]

LOL, mere apprentice;-/

[emmie]

even so, you have a certain skill - always useful to have
