Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Late this morning. Late night. at Monday Club. First silly season dinner.
A good evening was had by all. I won two bottles of wine in the raffle. Happy bunny. :o}

I put tiggy's supper out before I went, put some more out when I got back. Some of it still there, so the wee lad won't be complaining to the RSPCA about being mistreated.

Not as cold out ad I was expecting this morning. How much longer can it go on!

Have a happy day everyone.

[janbee]

How are you two lovely chaps this morning ?

[waterboatman]

Morning beej. Yer wee man is just saying that on the idiot box mate. Can't complain though can we!

[waterboatman]

Morning jan my lovely xxx Fine thanks. How are you? :o}

[janbee]

Yes boaty, another mildish start to the day here too. Can't go on for much longer. The cold weather is forecast soon

[janbee]

I'm fine thanks. Just had to chase off some foxes from my garden. I put out seeds and fat balls(pardon!) for the birds, but the foxes and local cats are always barging in.

hiya jan x
I m dead on - so I am
not a Christmas card written yet - I am glad to report

[waterboatman]

Frost is forecast for tonight. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.

[waterboatman]

I'm not doing any this year beej. I'm sending money to the hospice instead. They can put the money to better use than the greetings card companies can.

[janbee]

I've received 6 cards so far and I posted all mine yesterday. That's the last lot of Chrissie cards I'll be sending. Next year it'll be e cards.

[beejay1124]

I intend only sending 120 ish this year wbm
so I do

[janbee]

Still waiting to check the premium bond site to see if I'm a winner in December. What are the chances do you think?

[waterboatman]

Not good I would say jan. ;o} Good luck!

I sent over a hundred last year beej. I thought that's lot of money that can be put to better use. the hospice run a Hospice at Home Service, which means patients can end their days at home instead of a hospital. A dedicated hospice nurse is assigned to the family and will stay as long as required. It's a wonderful concept and it works well.

[janbee]

Many years ago, I stopped sending cards one year and gave all the money to Cancer Research. You have no idea how many people got huffed about the fact that they didn't get a poxy card so the next year I sent cards again, but didn't send any to the complainers. Now, I don't care what people think, next year they ain't getting any ! The money will all go to a charity. I refuse to support the Royal Mail shareholders !

[janbee]

Oh boaty, don't say that about the PBs. I've twice won £10,000 and many smaller prizes over the years. Maybe this month will be another biggie.

[waterboatman]

Same here jan. The hospice at home nurses are all highly qualified and are all lovely people doing a wonderful job with the entire family, not just the patient. They will even rustle up a meal if required!

[waterboatman]

I was teasing about the PB jan! :o} They are a good idea.

Please, don't vote for Titanic and THAT gawd awful song.
We all know the story, big boat, iceberg, glug glug glug. The end. It's never going to have a different ending is it? Oh yes, the boat sailed on to New York and the passengers and crew all lived happily ever after.
