Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Monday. I did all the food prep and defrosting, rump steaks, on Saturday evening, all ready to be able to spent more time with my friends from Gloucester. I got a phone call yesterday morning to say they couldn't come as herself was unwell. So I'll phone my friends from Yate, (the ones that were here Saturday) to see if they want to come for dinner. Such is life.

Cloudy again here this morning. I could do with a sunny day.

Have a happy day everyone.

I don't know about runner beans but my climbing French beans are scrambling up the balcony nets like commandoes on an obstacle course. They are a purple prodded variety with lovely violet flowers. They can have a bit more space next year just because they are pretty.

How are you going to amuse yourself today Rowan?

Gym, paperwork and arranging the ash scattering

A blonde Edinburgh teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for this summer. She decided to hire herself out as a handy-woman and started canvassing Morningside.

She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if
he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use
somebody to paint my porch - after all, I've just had it built - took forever, mind you," she said, "How much will you charge
me?"


Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about £50?"

The owner agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage.

The woman's OH, hearing the conversation said to his better half,
"Does she realise our porch goes ALL the way around the house?" (This is Morningside not mintyburgh).

She responded, "That's a bit cynical, don't you think?"
The OH replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all
those dumb blonde AB jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately."

Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" the startled female owner asked.

"Yes, the blonde replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it
two coats."

Impressed, the woman reached into her wallet for the £50 and
handed it to her along with a ten pound tip.

"And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Jaguar."
