Good morning early birds!

[waterboatman]

It's a tad warmer this morning. No ice or snow or rain! :-} It's cloudy though, probably waiting until I go out. Such is life!

Have a happy day everyone.

[waterboatman]

[waterboatman]

Must be a bit nippy then jaydah.

Have a good day bernie.

Good morning Waterboatman.

I came back from my nightly walk about 2 hours ago and it's a very mild night here in Bucks.

[waterboatman]

Morning Andy. I think the general trend is a bit warmer, but we may still have the odd snow flurry. There are snowdrops out here. Always a good sign.

[Barmaid]

Good morning all. This is a frightful hour to be up! But got to be away soon.

Have a good day all.

[Andyvon]

They seem to get earlier W. I like to see them. They make it feel spring is just around the corner.

[waterboatman]

Morning barmaid. It's the best time of day! :-}

I agree Andy. Spring is not far away. Just putting on her makeup.

[NoMercy]

Good morning all. How many folks have broken their New Year's resolutions already?

I made a resolution to stop committing carbicide but I just can't leave the bread alone...

[ummmm]

If your idea of fun and games is a pile of ironing...then yes, loads.

[AB Editor]

"carbicide" - excellent name for it. Carbs get quite a bad rap I think, it isn't really carbs which are at fault, but the way we eat them. Bread is a great supplier of carbs, but not much else, so we need to have veg as well (which also full of carbs). If we just ate more veg we'd not feel the need for bread so much and we'd have our healthy dosage of vitamins without having to over-eat.

Saying that however, I love good bread and would happily smear a whole stick of butter on a loaf over salad or steamed veggies any day.

Umm, sounds rubbish, I think you need and xBox or something.

[ummmm]

Got one but I haven't really passed the N64 stage :-)

[AB Editor]

That'll do Ummm! I mean, no one ever really finishes Mario Kart, this could be the time.
