Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Wednesday. It's a lot calmer today, the wind has dropped for starters. I've got a fence panel blown out, split down the middle, that will have to be sorted out today. A mega shoplifting sortie to be done too. The wallet and debit card will be trembling by the time I've finished!
Had a pleasent day being chauffeured by my friend yesterday. I treated her to lunch in one of my and Vera's favourite pub restaurants, was greeted as and old friend by the landlord, well, he is an old friend. I hadn't been in there since I lost my Vera, it was good to see him. He refused to let me pay! A good friend. My friend says she's going to take her hubby there!
Have a happy day everyone.

[Theland]

We should sail to that pub you went to, where they don't take money :-)
My kind of pub. Mines a double :-)

[Mozz71]

They don't take money? How do we tip the buxom bar wench?

[waterboatman]

They take money right enough! It was just a welcome back because I hadn't been there for about nine years.

[waterboatman]

Sorry to disappoint you moz, the staff were all male!

[Theland]

I went to a pub where they wouldn't take my money.
It turned out my £20 note was counterfeit, so they threw me out :-(

[emmie]

[Mozz71]

That doesn't sound much fun WBM! :-D
