Good Morning All You Earlies!

[FredPuli43]

Bit early but two of the wolfhounds decided to settle their differences about 3 a.m., so I, woken suddenly, went down to the kitchen yard to see to it. This was a short-sighted policy to bring peace because I opened the gate to the garden. They paused, said, as it were, "Thanks Dad!" and promptly resumed the contest outside instead. To add to the fun, they decided that I ought to referee and came as close as possible to me to that end, which didn't exactly calm me; I was not minded to say "Break" or send one to his corner. Anyway, the squabble ended, I declared the younger one the winner on points, and led the victor to the kennel down the garden, locked away from the loser who, of course, followed us, uttering grumbled threats along the lines of "Coward! You never hurt me. Come back here, if you think you're hard enough!" The pup wolfhound was left wondering which was the role model.

That's all I need, insomniac wolfhounds with a grievance!

Have a good day, all.

Morning Fred - good start to the day then! Wet and windy up here in NW Wales and promises of gale force winds later. Looking forward to a few days off from this madhouse and relaxing with family visitors on Monday

Morning, yorkie. Where are you? Bit windy but dry here in South Cambs. Quite clear skies at present. Can we expect worse from your direction?

[WELSHYORKIE]

Hi Fred - Top left corner of Wales just across from Anglesey.
The weather is coming in from the south west and should be hitting your region later in the day if I've understood the weather forecast properly. Isobars tightly packed so expect some rough stuff over the weekend

[Grandma_Yiddo]

Good morning both of you and as usual it's a sunny one here. Two grandchildren and youngest son visiting tomorrow and then I'm off back to cambs Fens for two weeks.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Morning GY - Glad it's hot and sunny - might put a smile of the boss's face when he arrives there later today for the next week or so. Must be boring to have sunny days all the time lol

[Grandma_Yiddo]

It is nice but monotonous after a while. Is your boss coming out to Abu Dhabi? Looking forward immensely to the wind and rain.

[WELSHYORKIE]

I think he's actually going to Dubai, but it's not that far away is it?

[Grandma_Yiddo]

No, literally next door. About an hours drive away.

[WELSHYORKIE]

In that case Abu Dhabi will probably be on the 'visit schedule' - he's a motor racing fan and may well want to visit the track where the Grand Prix takes place - and probably drive a supercar round

[FredPuli43]

Enjoy the Fens, ma. Where will you be? Soham, Wisbech or somewhere more civilised, sorry, I mean "more remote"? Went to see a house just north of Waterbeach once and my wife said "How can anyone live out here?" before we reached it,so we never did see it. And that is only on the very margin of Fenland. It's an acquired life, living there. I like it for the calm, but that's getting harder to find.

[Grandma_Yiddo]

Our village is about 5 miles from St. Ives.. It's not isolated there although buses are few and far between. Where we live in Abu Dhabi is called Al Reef. It's in a compound along with 3 other compounds around 25 miles from the city. So I'm looking forward to not seeing a grain of sand for two weeks.

[WELSHYORKIE]

How are the sandcastle building lessons going GY? (legs it)

[FredPuli43]

Ah, ma, somewhere like Needingworth. Very pleasant too, and not much sand !

[Grandma_Yiddo]

It's actually Somersham and I really miss it.

[Grandma_Yiddo]

Perhaps one of you kind folk can help me. When do the clocks go back at home? Planning a time for the kids to Skype their parents when they arrive.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Clocks go back this weekend GY

[murraymints]

Good morning all xx...clocks go back 2am this Sunday !

[WELSHYORKIE]

Morning Minty - hope all is well with you and yours? How's the foot now?

[murraymints]

Morning welshie xx I'm good ta..foot fine now, will not do that again !...back home now..nice to be in my own bed again !

[WELSHYORKIE]

Wish I could say the same about my bed, Minty - haven't seen much of it these past few weeks. I know every single square inch of the workbench, I mean breakfast bar, though - even fell asleep at it last night - so little sleep lately
