Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Rather mild out there this morning. Got a doctor's appointment at 0820 this morning, so I will be off early.

Had a lovely evening at the quiz night at the hospice last night. My friends from Gloucester enjoyed themselves, so much they offered another raffle prize, a day out for four, with lunch on their narrowboat, with us aboard as well of course. That was auctioned at the end and raised £150, I don't know the final total yet, but with the money raised for the raffle and entry fees the evening raised will be well over four figures.

Have a happy day everyone.

A top effort Boaty.

It's so good to give a bit back to those that have helped.

How's U today.

Bit cooler in downsideupland but rather humid to day, not overly pleasant.

[waterboatman]

G'day mate. It was a grand evening. The organiser, Julia, is as mad as a box of frogs, but in the best possible way. She's riding from London to Paris on a bike, to raise money for the hospice.

It's been wet here for what seems like ages. Everything is soaking. It's been blowing an ooligan to go with it too.

[waterboatman]

Oh yes. I'm fine thanks mate. The doctor's appointment is routine. I shouldn't be in there more than about five minutes.

[1ozzy]

Good to hear.

I like people who should be incarcerated in a box full of frogs.

Hope her bike has a motor, couldn't do it myself pushing pedals ;-/

[waterboatman]

She's delightful. :o} She's done it before, so she knows what she's in for. She has a policeman riding with her, he's accompanied her before.

[Jackdaw33]

How does she pedal across the Channel? has the bike got water wings?

[waterboatman]

Morning jack. She rides across the seabed. :o}

[murraymints]

Morning Boaty xx OZ xx Jack xx

[waterboatman]

Morning minty xxx How are you this morning?

[1ozzy]

Trust you to question that Jack.

I presumed she rode through the "chunnel".

Or boarded a ferry and cycled in circles until she arrived ;-/

[murraymints]

Fine Ta...wild yesterday but sounds better today, ALDI And TESCO later oh joy !

[waterboatman]

I have no idea. she may have permission to ride through the maintenance tunnel. I think that's what she did last time, but I'm not sure.

[waterboatman]

Minty you know how to have fun! :o}

[1ozzy]

Hiya Minty.

What a day you have organised.

I'm jealous ;-(

[waterboatman]

I'm not! ;o}

[1ozzy]

SNAP!!!!

[murraymints]

No vehicles are allowed to go through the channel tunnel because of fumes...all have to board a rail shuttle ! Bikes too ! Only a wee hop...

[murraymints]

Hate shopping, hate putting it away more !

[murraymints]

No NOM...wonder...?

[waterboatman]

That's that one answered. :o} I do know that she enquired about it, but I agree with you minty, I told her that last time. I would think that, knowing her, she's hooked a lift on the train! It would be a good donation from the company, wouldn't it!

I'll phone her later and ask her. Watch this space tomorrow!
