Good Morning Early Birds

[waterboatman]

Wednesday. Had a bit of aggro geting t'internet this morning. Been trying since ten to four. I think it's a local connection problem. Well, that's what the engineer said!

Nippy outside this morning. A heavy dew, almost frost.

It rained for most of yesterday, so nothing outside got done. Such is life.

Have a happy day everyone. :o}

[TWR]

Hoi, Morning, late again lol

[1ozzy]

Got a note from Mum?

[waterboatman]

Morning TWR. sorry mate, didn't see you there. I was annoyed at the aggro I had getting a connection.

I've been up since 3.30, :o}

[waterboatman]

Not got a note from mum oz, but the engineer know I'm not impressed!

[1ozzy]

Apart from Telco's stuffing you about......How's things "ole Mate"?

[waterboatman]

I'm fine mate thanks. A bit narked 'cos my GP has told me that this time I've got to cut back on things. She's right it is getting too much. I've decided to stop doing charters. I'm going to miss them. a few other things I'm stopping too. Not happy about it, but she was serious.

[1ozzy]

Maybe instead of being the skipper you can go along as the "host". Fill the tourists full of interesting info. No need to give up completely, just trim back a bit.

Over here in some places there are "Barby boats", you go for a cruise, a knowledgeable person explains points of interest and cooks a snack.

Just a thought.

[waterboatman]

A nice idea too oz. but tyhat's the crerwman/womans job. I'm still going to do the visitor centre. I can also go and open up the Visitor Centre for lunch charter guests to have a browse and a cuppa while they choose thei menu, thern I can phone it through to the Tudor Arms when they leave bankside. That's not too strenuous.

[waterboatman]

Coffee time. Back in a tick.

[waterboatman]

That's better!

[1ozzy]

Take care old mate, time to walk pooch and buy some Chat Potatoes, otherwise I'll get "the look" from Mrs Oz shortly.

[waterboatman]

Will do. Have a good evening mate. :o}

Morning, WBM, TWR and 1ozzy.
Why do I wake up early on the days I don't need to go to work? Very annoying! :)

[waterboatman]

Morning jo xxx I can't argue with that. I've been waking early ever since I retired! Most annoying.

How are you this morning?

[paddywak]

Good morning everybody

[waterboatman]

Morning paddy. All well mate? :o}

[Cloverjo]

Fine, thanks, WBM.
Not doing much today. Going to see my dad.

Thinks are going fine, but I hate saying that, because everything comes collapsing down around your ears as soon you say it. :)

Look after yourself and don't work too hard. Sounds like you need to take a break.

Morning all - pitch black out there, no weather inspection yet....

[waterboatman]

My GP said that too! I had to agree with her. I'm planning todo not a lot for a while. We shall see. I'm up to the hospice this afternoon.

[waterboatman]

You're right. Never state a positinve, 'cos there is always a negative waiting to trip you up!
