Good morning early birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday morning and it looks like we will get some sunshine! How warm it will be remains to be seen. So make the most of it and have a happy day everyone.

[David Black]

Morning sir

[waterboatman]

Morning David. How are you?

[David Black]

Very well, up at the moment helping my son sort out the print on his Uni dissertation that gets handed in today.

Nice to see the lovelly weather this early in the morning.

Is it always this quiet at this time?

[waterboatman]

Quite often, yes. You can never tell though. Which university is your son going to?

[granny grump]

Morning chaps - back to work today - but a short week 'cos I don't do Wednesdays - on of the perks of getting old!

[waterboatman]

Morning gran. I don't do any day! The trouble with being retired is that you don't get a day off! :-)

[granny grump]

I can retire but I like what i do - maybe next year - grand grump has already retired so tea is always on the table bless him - another bonus being married to a chef (ex RN)

Just checked my profile on quizzes and puzzles and boxtops reckoned that ypou would be able to help with these.
These have kindly been answered but would be nice to have them checked by someone 'in the know'

Hi WBM he goes to Loughbough. A finalist doing IT.

[granny grump]

Many thanks waterboatman I'll catch you in the morning - off to 'put my face' on

[waterboatman]

I've just looked and your answers are correct as given by etch far as I know. The second word is indeed ghyll or gill because it is a part of a name.

[waterboatman]

A fine place David. I used to live in Old Woodhouse, not far from Loughborough. Lovely countryside.

[beejay1124]

[waterboatman]

Again? More chaos all over the place then.

Morning all - a bit overcast but close here in Kent this morning - back to work looms, a busy week ahead, but just at the moment "sluggish" comes to mind... Thanks wbm re grannygrump's quiz, I felt sure you would be the main man to know the answers since they are all watery!
