The good morning thread

[Felonious Crud]

Good luck with the Focus alarm, Stevie. Car alarms can be an epic nuisance if they get all antsy.

Morning, everyone. Feeling half a bubble off-centre today after a family-friend funeral yesterday. Lots of reminiscing and stories and the usual stuff, and caught up with some friends I hadn't seen for more than half my lifetime. Need to shake myself back into the right zone again.

Anyway, it's a little damp out in the wilds of East Anglia today, but I'm heading north to Stockholm where it's glorious sunshine and mid-20s, which will be nice.

Have a good day, all.

 

[MrPea]

Enjoy Stockholm. It's the one place I've visited on business that made me want to go for fun, but have not yet been (because everything's so expensive... much better on expenses and then pay for a cheaper holiday elsewhere). The whole archipeligo for a city thing is just so pleasant. However, beware of Scandinavians if they're given a glimpse of sunshine and warmth... out on any grass patch, all along the waterfronts and generally anywhere they can get to sunbathe!

 

[Felonious Crud]

They do get extremely excited as soon as the sun comes out. Not that different from us Brits, really!

 

[daverichardson]

Yes same in Gothenburg where I spent some time and thoroughly enjoyed it. On expenses but still could not afford to eat and drink on the same day. This was the mid 80's
Morning all

Morning,

What is this wet stuff falling from the sky? I'd got used to the orange ball instead but that appears to have disappeared.

Not good with the polisher Stevie. I'm sure it'll still look good, just not as swirl free as mine with its ceramic coating

Another day with my foot up resting which is good because sleeping with this boot on is nigh on impossible. Fell asleep in the living room but was woken up by a fledgling finding out about windows the hard way. Time to shoot up now.

Have a great day all

Morning all. Had a meeting first thing today, which will hopefully be profitable. Not much going on today.
Hopefully the weather will stay dry for later when I can take my new bike out for a ride. Picked it up yesterday and it proceeded to thunder and lightning until dark so I couldn't go out on it.

Crikey! Heckuva bike. You should call it Thor.

 

[CatmanV2]

Morning you lot. Gah. Feel like death. Total power failure here last night. Resorted to glow-sticks!

Of course the lights all come on just after I make it to sleep . Oh well, pays the bills

Have a great day, all

I actually wanted Joseph to be called Thor. Alex poo pooed it unfortunately. Think it would have been an epic name.

He’d have needed a hammer and it would have been mayhem. Alex’s veto was wise.

Good morning all....More rain and some thunder in the mix today. Normal work day for me.

 

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, looks like the flat in Dublin is sorted stage q of spending even more time here

 

[midlifecrisis]

Good morning everyone, it's foggy outside.(cue 90s motorcycling jokes, also works for Chili, Rainey etc)
All looks eerie in 1/2p Close . The mist descending off the surrounding hills enveloping the trees, making them look like shadowy figures. Like muggers waiting for their next victim. The call of a crow breaks the silence, possibly warning the unsuspecting of the danger of the trees...

What is in this tea?

 

[2b1ask1]

Very Hitchcock Martin!

Morning all, local again today with my youngest daughter assisting me for beer tokens. Have fun all...

 

[MrMickS]

Morning,

Another day without driving and its not even sunny enough for me to sit outside. There is a car meeting this evening, might get my chauffeur to take us if the weather improves.

Have a great day all

 

[2b1ask1]

One for Dan possibly?

Hummer

but check out the mileage!!!! That is one heck of a lot of oil burnt....

 

[daverichardson]

At last a bright day, looks promising so off to the petrol station and then onwards.....................................
Morning all

 

[conaero]

Morning, back from sunny Portugal back to the rain

 

[GeoffCapes]

Morning all. Eventful start to the day already.
4am was woken by Joseph as he is teething, and then decided he wouldn't sleep unless I was giving him a cuddle.
6am he decided that it was time to wake up. So Alex got up with him.
6.30am Alex tells me I need to go and get some ant powder and ant traps as the kitchen is full of the little buggers.
So off out to Tesco's, they had none, then to B&Q who did.
7.30am A guy I had a meeting with yesterday rings me up and wants me to meet with his director to discuss a partnership between our companies.
Just got into the office, Alex rings me up and tells me a UPS driver is trying to deliver a pallet load of LED's which should be going to our local council office.

It's not even 10 o'clock yet!
