Good morning early birds!

[waterboatman]

The weekend arrives and brings rain with it. Must be summer. I've got a charter on the canal today, I think waterproofs might be a good idea. At least the crew get a free lunch!

Have a happy day everyone.

[seekeerz]

and you're going out in it ??? seriously, wbm you're a worry !! but good morning to you and have a great day !! xxx

[waterboatman]

Morning seeks. xxx Yup, can't let the customers down. They are paying good money for their lunch cruise. You get used to rain. I shall be as snug as a bug in a rug in my big yellow jacket and trousers, looking like the Michelin man with jaundice!

[seekeerz]

ooo, the picture's worth a thousand words !!! we've got one of your 'ooligans blowing here at the moment and then the rain dumps on us - roll on spring !!!

[cherrychapstick]

good morning wbm and seekers.hope its not to wet for you today.

[waterboatman]

We have the rain but not the 'ooligan. . . yet! It's supposed to be showery today, so we may be lucky. (Yeah. Right!) :-/

I hope you have a better summer than we have had seeks. the weather people tell us it's because the high level wind pattern has changed it's route, brining cool, wet northerly winds instead of dry, warm southerly winds. I reckon they are trying to cover their error.

[waterboatman]

morning cherry. You sneaked in when I wasn't looking! :-) I hope so too. What are you up to today?

[NoMercy]

Good morning all. I've been on penicillin for 3 days and as yet, no improvement. :-(

The weather is dreadful so I don't know whether to go to B'ham, to one of the indoor shopping centres or not. I don't want to sit in the house all day.

[waterboatman]

Morning NM. Why the penicillin? Go and have lunch out somewhere. that'll cheer you up! :-)

[NoMercy]

Throat infection, WBM. Doc said we'd assume it to be bacterial and prescribed the tablets but said to go back and have bloods done if they don't do the trick.

I was thinking of having a nice bistro lunch in Harborne today. I need to pop to Waitrose anyway.

[waterboatman]

It sounds like the doc got it wrong NM. enjoy your lunch and go and give him/her some welly on Monday. :-D

[rowanwitch]

Good morning all....hate trying to match Poles in the drinking stakes get massacred every time they want to do Gas Street basin today if it stops raining and then possibly some of the bars on Broad street I want to curl up with my book and some paracetamol already

[NoMercy]

You went to Broad Street? I haven't been down there in years. I hear the Living Room has closed down now !!

[waterboatman]

Morning rowan. You're a glutton for punishment! :-)

Gotta go now. The boat has to be checked before we do anything else.

See you all tomorrow. xxxxx

[rowanwitch]

No last night it was at home...2.5 poles v 1.5 English..... Poles won

Broad street maybe today... Don't mind the Brasshouse during the day....rather go into the Gay village and have a few drinks in the loft lounge I reckon they'd enjoy that and the food isn't bad either...
