Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Sunday. Yesterday turned out nice. Warm and sunny, despite the prediction of rain. this morning is looking good, a bright moon shining, just the odd cloud lurking. Off to Cirencester today for the hospice Bubble rush. Should be a grand day. So I'm off at seven thirty. I just hope it stays dry...not that it will make a lot of odds to the runners. :o}

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning all

[waterboatman]

Morning danny. All well mate?

[1ozzy]

After running through bubbles a bit of a sprinkle will rinse them nicely.

How's Boaty today?

[waterboatman]

G'day cobber. I'm well thank you.

Should be a good day. I'm looking forward to it!

[waterboatman]

Hows things in downsideupland?

[1ozzy]

All is good thanks.

Did a couple of favours for others this morn, rain set in, constant drizzle.
Spent some time working on the park bench and gave the oven a spring clean, lots of elbow grease needed!!!

[waterboatman]

That worked up an apatite then! Has to be done though mate.

[1ozzy]

Yep, a mate a few doors away cut up Winnie the Poohs best friend and gave me a leg. Roasting it tonight, hope it doesn't taste like oven cleaner ;-/

[waterboatman]

That's in interesting flavouring. Clean your teeth at the same time! :o}

[1ozzy]

It'd clean more than your teeth ;-)

Anyway, gave it a good rinse, oven fan is on and the door is open.
A good airing hopefully.

[waterboatman]

That'll do it right enough mate. Mine's due a clean when I've got the time and energy together. That doesn't happen often.

[ummmm]

Morning all. Yesterday was nice. Did a bit of shopping for the house, stopped at a canal pub for a coffee with a big bag of goodies for the ducks. The heavens opened and not a duck in sight...

Went to the park up the road instead...lots of grateful ducks and swans there. A greedy signet (almost fully grown, just needs to change colour) bit my finger trying to get to the peas and sweetcorn in my hand. They are all so cute. I just wish the park would put up signs saying not to feed them bread.

Not much plans for today. Need a few bits for dinner so might take a steady walk and stop for a coffee in a new cafe that has just opened.

[waterboatman]

Morning ummmm
Well done, bread is very bad for them. In the Visitor Centre at Saul Junction well sell proper duck food. If I see anyone throwing bread I stop them and explain. They usually listen, but of course you get the odd eejit!

[1ozzy]

Morning Ummmm, a steady walk?

No bumping into everything!!!! ;-)

[ummmm]

Yeah, Ozzy, I'll have himself with me, I'll hold on to his arm :-)

Boaty....I've always wanted pet ducks since I was little. It's just a pity they taste so damn nice :-D

[waterboatman]

Can't argue with that ummmm. :o}

[1ozzy]

It's a bit over the top to eat your pets, but, I do understand why some species eat their young ;-)

[waterboatman]

Quite! :o}

[ummmm]

I couldn't be a farmer. I'd never be able to send them to slaughter.

Once on holiday I ordered a lobster and the waiter took me to a lobster tank and told me to pick one. I couldn't, I couldn't bring myself to chose which one was going to die.

[waterboatman]

:o} I can understand that ummmm. Not very gentile is it!
