Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. After yesterdays wall to wall sunshine today is going to be the same. Long may it last. 14°C at the moment. Not bad for 0400!

Going to the farmers market in Stroud this morning. I'll get there early before it get's too crowded, by 1100 you can hardly move!

I'm going to trim the back hedge this afternoon, then be a lazy git for the rest of the day.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning, Boaty. I usually get here just as you're signing off, so nice to say a hello, but I might disappear soon.

[waterboatman]

Morning jo xxx Always nice to see you, whatever time it is. :o}

[Cloverjo]

I don't often get here at this time. Have you still got the wee white tornado?

[waterboatman]

I have indeed. Shes lying alongside my thigh, fast asleep. :o}

[Cloverjo]

We used to look after a little French Bulldog, who has sadly passed away. I felt if I could find a zip somewhere, and undo it there'd be a little girl in there. And I'm not a dog person. They're such fun aren't they!

[Cloverjo]

Ohh, I miss the little French Bulldog, but I'm more of a cat person. I've always had cats. I'd love to have one now. Apparently black cats aren't popular now as they don't photograph well on Instagram etc. WtW?

[waterboatman]

This one's a delightful lunatic! Got more energy than something her size has any right to. There's a little girl inside this one right enough! :o}

Not choosing a black cat because of that makes me wonder about the person.

[waterboatman]

G'day mate. 18°C? That's warmer than here!

All is in order here, WWT fast asleep alongside.

Good morning all.

[waterboatman]

Morning danny. All well mate?

[waterboatman]

Excellent result mate. Congratulations to him.

[waterboatman]

An excellent plan mate. Go for it!

[Arrods]

Good morning all.

Our milkman's late today. Does anyone else still have milk delivered?

Back in the day we used to have coal and bread delivered. On Sundays it was the 'winkle' man and occasionally an old chap would push a pram around the streets dispensing vinegar from a barrel. Also remember, in London, the gas street lighter man and trams.

Aah - nostalgia isn't like it used to be. :-)

[paddywak]

Good morning everybody.

[waterboatman]

Morning arrods and paddy.

I remember a lot of that arrods, we lived in army married quarters in Woolwich, opposite the Royal Artillery Depot. That was in the late 40's early 50's.

[waterboatman]

Now there's posh! ;o}
