Good Morning Early Birds!

Friday. The sky is clear, should be a nice day. Somewhat chilly though.

Tiggy is not liking the chilly nights, he was out for his supper and back to bed at rate of knots a destroyer captain would be proud of! Bless him.

Yesterday. I had just flashed up the poota and was waiting for it to wake up and sort itself out. I was looking out he window at the torrential rain when there was an enormous electric blue flash over the treetops in the direction of that blasted junction box. I lost t'internet, email, phone. Had email back for a short while later, then it t went again, I got the phone back about lunchtimeish. T'internet late afternoon. To say one was not impressed is a vast understatement!

Thank you to all for your concern. Thank you pix for your email. I don't know if you got my reply. Thank you mickey for taking the wheel.

A busy weekend starting today. I've got to do almost everything for the weekend today as I have the Cotswold Canals Trust AGM Saturday, Sunday I'm at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester for the Longfield Hospice Bubble Rush. That's going to be great fun. A five K walk, run, etc. with bits of it through huge masses of bubbles. The little ones love it, so do the adults, come to that!

My hairdresser ran the Cheltenham half marathon to raise money for the hospice, The lovely girl raised over five hundred pounds! She also clipped twenty minutes of her best time. I'm proud of you my lovely. And she is drop dead gorgeous too! :o}

Have a happy day everyone.

[davegosling]

Been worse!

[waterboatman]

Situation normal then!

[1ozzy]

Morning you two.
Now don't go getting too chatty, people will talk about you both ;-/

[waterboatman]

Afternoon oz. Nobody can get a word in edge ways!

All well in downsideupland?

[1ozzy]

Topsy-turvy, not much changes.

Drove to the big smoke today, bought a couple of days worth of food, and a months worth of beer. I'm happy.

Picked up some tools and woodworking supplies too.

[1ozzy]

And how's you today?

[waterboatman]

You got the priorities right mate! ;o}

[davegosling]

Think I'm probably up for the day now. Thought about going to be an hour or so ago, but am wide awake.

Got a few new albums to listen to plus several new novels downloaded on my Kindle, donc la vie est belle :-)

[waterboatman]

I'm fine thanks mate. Looking forward to Sunday, that's going to be great fun!

The AGM tomorrow will be interesting, there is a lot going on with the restoration.

[waterboatman]

Sounds good dave.

[1ozzy]

Might as well then Dave.

Hope you get some downsideupland weather on Sunday Boaty.

[waterboatman]

Me too oz. The weather report for Sunday is good, not quite downsideupland summer, but maybe spring. We're expecting a lot of people there, the little ones, of all ages, will love it!

[waterboatman]

I don't think I will need my waterproofs and wellies...but I'll take them just in case.

[1ozzy]

Don't forget to wear your Popeye captains hat and take your corncob bubble pipe ;-)

[waterboatman]

I reckon that would get everyone's attention right enough! :o}

[waterboatman]

The full moon is shining bright in a clear sky, beautiful. Venus also is shining. No breeze, so it's it's going to be a lovely day. Rain tomorrow, another lovely day Sunday. Perfect!
