Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Lots of patchy cloud about, I think it will rain later, hopefully I'
ll be out and back before it arrives.
Same four hedgehogs wanted feeding last night. I'll have to start buying pancetta by the bucketful! With summer supposedly on it's way there could be more hedgies coming to my hedgehog restaurant. :o} The record for one night is seventeen! Where they come from I have no idea.
Some out and about today, I hope it stays dry!
Have a happy day everyone.

Morning DT. Sounds good. I haven't made colcannon for ages.

[emmie]

i don't find dresses comfortable, not even evening wear, much rather wear something smart but practical.

For pure volume of clothing take my mother, to charity went 138 skirts, 125 dresses, 110 coats and jackets and 70 pairs of shoes (the latter were about 300 and my sister gave them a flex test to see if the soles were still 'supple' - she can be forgiven on having that number as her old man, my maternal grandfather, had shoe shops and he used to bring all the samples.... As to the clothing, remember this was the tip of the iceberg as a lot went out in black bags being riddled with moths etc. Simply ridiculous and all part of an OCD (which many Alzheimer's have had in their lives in some form - some 60 percent of them, 30% seriously).

[waterboatman]

I can understand that DT.

[emmie]

i have a room that i have converted into a walk in wardrobe, i can't get any more stuff in there, it's full to brimming.

[emmie]

my weight has gone up, down and every which way, but i just buy what i like, and donate what doesn't fit.

[waterboatman]

Good plan emmie!

[emmie]

so far 12 bags full, but sure there will be more once i get in the room and sort out more stuff.

[waterboatman]

I know it's early, but I'm off to get a few jobs done before I venture out.
Have a happy day everyone.

It's now thumping down here!

Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,
'Twas sad as sad could be;
And we did speak only to break
The silence of the AB sea!

All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.

Day after day, day after day,
We prattled, on AB no motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Until someone spake,
Break out the gin
That therein there is a lake
Add a tonic and we'll begin

Water, water, every where,
Nae in any of ma mixed drink;
Water, water, every where,
Thank God, not a drop to drink.

[emmie]

Morning all. Hope all is well with everyone. No rain here yet in sunny Manchester. Honest! Tis true! :o)
Good poem DTC. As a result, you will receive the GMEB Literary Award for this day! Don't know about tomorrow though! Unlike Emmie, I don't have bookmarks on my computer. In fact, when I've finished on tinternet, I delete everything; history, cookies, passwords etc.. It might just be mental thingy for me but I think it keeps my PC a bit healthier. Burp!

Good morning everybody.
