Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Monday. Quite mild here this morning. Wonderful! :o}

I was a little bit out with my prediction of yesterday's rugby result. I said Ireland would win by a small margin. Well; if you call ten points a small margin...Ireland 19 England 9. That means Ireland are the only ones with a chance of the grand slam. Well; done lads. :o}

On that happy note, have a happy day everyone.

DT - I'm teetotal and therefore was only on water but M had a glass of red, although she did tell me about retsina and some of it's wonderful ingredients - pine resin????

[waterboatman]

Have a good evening oz.

Morning balders. Soon be spring mate. :o}

welshie, it's a lesson well learned mate. I hope it's all systems go for you both now mate. It looks much better from here.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Wendi - very firm white fish, very 'meaty' and excellent wrapped in the ham to keep it nice and moist - wish I'd taken a photo of it now......

[waterboatman]

retsina is an acquired taste mate. OK when you get used to it though.

[WELSHYORKIE]

That's what M said - and she never gets a hangover with it....... Hopefully next year, i'll be going over to Greece with 'The Family' and i'll get to see if she's telling me porkies.........

[DTCwordfan]

Never liked it - should be kept in the Greek community and not in the European Community. It's even more reason for chucking them out.

[DTCwordfan]

So M is of Greek origin then?

(potentially a handful then!)

So are you back this coming w/end, welshy?

[waterboatman]

It's not to everyone's taste, I'm not overly fond of it. It explains a lot about the Greeks though! A beautiful country however. You will love it welshie.

[WELSHYORKIE]

No DT - her late husband was a Greek - he was killed in a car accident some years ago - hit by a drunk driver. She lived in Greece for a while before moving back to the UK

[WELSHYORKIE]

As for being a handful - no, not really - she's a very kind, very gentle laid back person - perfect foil for me!!

[waterboatman]

The fates work in mysterious ways welshie.

[WELSHYORKIE]

They do indeed, Boaty. Time for me to be off and get some work done, so i'll say bye for now and hopefully see you all in the morning

[waterboatman]

Have a good'un welshie. Regards to M. :o}

[DTCwordfan]

The Spanish Inquisition here, welshy! Have a good day....

[DTCwordfan]

(or the Greek one)

[waterboatman]

DT He was longing to talk about her, so I thought I'd give him the opening. ;o}

[DTCwordfan]

Well, signs of movement above, better move.....have a good day all.

[waterboatman]

Have a good'un DT. :o}
