Good morning early birds!

[waterboatman]

A quickie this morning. I have to get over to Stroud early to get the boat ready for herself, then get changed into something more presentable. No snow here, but what it's like on the way to and in Stroud I will find out shortly. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
Have a happy day everyone.

Not too bad. Got a long day ahead, so what I'll be like at the end of it is another story!

Morning everyone, just popped in for a quickie. Good luck Boaty (although i've probably missed him) - i'll keep an eye out for you on the news tonight (don't forget the placard!!). Apparently, sweetpea thinks i'll get a reputation for 'popping in for a quickie' - don't know what on earth she means!!! Seems i've missed susanna on the telly again this morning - damn these early starts. Hiope everybody is ready for the scrum down tomorrow - hopefuuly the England team will put a performance in and not have to trust to poor finishing by the opponents like last weekend. As for the Wales/Scotland match, if it's half as exciting as 2010 then it will definitely be the one to watch this Sunday.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Have a good day - and a great weekend - y'all and, if you have one, may your god go with you
