Ah, I see that the children have got Chris up already. 'Morning Chris.

[Les]

The top of the morning to you all (and the rest of the morning to myself). It is a bit damp & misty this morning and a bit lonely in here!!

[Les]

Good morning everyone and a happy birthday to Rowe. (Who is Rowe?) A nice bright morning and it is Friday.

[Les]

Good morning everyone, bit of a chilly breeze this morning.

Oh don't think I'd fancy walking along the canal morning - or night Smiff! Used to be so easy when Wolsey St/Coley St. existed - pre IDR of course!

[Les]

Good morning everyone and what a bright sunny one it is too.

[smiff]

On foot. I'm too scared to leave my bike at the station. My route is up Berkeley Ave, down the canal to Bridge St, through St Mary's churchyard, by John lewis, then straight up Queen Vic St and Station Rd. When I first started walking to work a few years ago it took 16 mins just to get to the Yell office by the Hexagon lol

[piwacket]

That's pretty good going smiff! By car or by foot/cycle? I suspect the latter?

[smiff]

I really must leave a bit earlier for the train in the morning. Mind you, I beat my record today, 16 mins to get from Boston Ave to the seat of the 8:42 to London Waterloo on platform 4a. I was a bit hot and sweaty though!

Good morning everyone and a happy birthday to daeda1us. Quiet on here last night wasn't it?

[Les]

Good morning everyone. No birthdays noted and not a lot going on today. Never mind, have a good day anyway.

[Les]

Way Hay!! Views for 'Les's Pics have crashed through the 10,000 mark to 10,007

[Les]

Good morning everyone, or good evening Goodonya, shouldn't you be in bed? Happy Birthday to Hoopy, I hope that you have a terrific day. 30 eh. oh dear!

I am afraid that you just have to hack your way through all the roots KC, and then of course there remains the tap root which generally goes straight down, that is the piggy one. The best idea, although too late for you I suspect, is to leave about 6ft or tree standing and then pull the whole thing over.

[keyclix]

I huffed and I puffed and now I have given up. Tree stump 1 KC 0

[piwacket]

KC - it's all those Ozzies play tu-of-war with it - hoped you tugged it hard enough so they all fell over!

[Les]

What do you expect KC, the whole world is hanging on to the other end!

[keyclix]

Phew! Just been trying to haul out an old tree stump. Blinkin' hot work

[Les]

I thought that you might be the man to see to it John!! Good morning everyone, a bit of Autumnal mist around earlier but it looks as if the sun might be trying to burn off. Enjoy your days.

[johnH]

I'll sort him out Les

[Les]

I just love the first item in "The Local News Headlines" below "TVP_Caversham: #PCSO Dunford carried out a #Burglary..." Naughty PCSO Dunford!

[Chris]

Funny thing about yesterday's storm - it hammered it down at TVP, it was bone dry at Winnersh, then around jc11 was awful again!

[keyclix]

Damp it may be, but the rain over the last 24 hours has done my runners a world of good. More please . . .

[Les]

Good Morning everyone, bit damp this morning!

[Les]

The thunder flashed, the lightening roared and all the world was shaking. The little pig curled up his tail and ran to save his bacon . Good job Marie is out of town or she would have been in the cupboard under the stairs!
