Calling Captain Bovine

[bitsnknots]

Just a quickie CB to see how your hoof is doing.  Hope that it isn't too bad.

[captainbovine]

Hello my lovely! thanks for asking, killing me as usual, but hey ho. I'm going to ring the hospital again tomorrow, just to see if she can give me a date.

How's all this rain affecting you? are you creaking yet? xx

[bitsnknots]

Lovely day weather wise today but ankles especially have been bad closely followed by everything else.  Never mind - there's always folk worse than me.

Hope that you can find out when you're having your hoof done.  It's not much fun when everything aches is it?

[captainbovine]

you're so right there!! it's around my ankle on the left foot (which I've had done) that hurts so much on that one, and the back of my heel on the one waiting to be done.

I think if it rains anymore I may be going the hozzy in a flippin' canoe!!!! the little river nearby is filling up rapidly.

night night, see you tomorrow

[bitsnknots]

Hope that you had a good night CB.  I half did but never mind.  

The nearest waterway to us is a stream about a mile away.  In the town where I live, there's a railway bridge which is never used now but when it rains, the road underneath the bridge floods every time.  We still get idiots trying to drive through it until the council close the road.  When idiots do drive through it, the fire brigade end up going out to rescue them.

the river flows past in the field at the end of our road. When I say river, it's only about 8ft wide!!!! but it floods the road opposite us quite bad, the houses have been offered by the council to have a flood defense built but they all refused as they like the view!!!! can you  believe how stupid peeps can be! luckily for us, our road is higher than theirs so we are safe. We did struggle to get insurance though as the river is less than 100mtrs from the bungalow.

I think it may be OK today, the sun is shining but it has rained....better tidy up the garden a bit.

[bitsnknots]

I agree with you CB.  How stupid are some people?  We have a canal in town but I've never known that to flood but there's always a first time.  Thing is there is a big store and a big posh hotel near the said canal.  So you can imagine what would happen if the canal did flood.

Coooeeee Captain when are you back to work or is that a dirty word,             

[fishpieface]

There's a lane I use on the way to and from work which usually floods

when we have heavy rainfall.  It's shallow enough to drive through as

long as cars use the middle, there's a steep camber on the road so it

floods worst at the edges.  Cars generally give way to one another so

they can use the middle of the road.

The other evening I was coming home, cars doing their usual giving

way thing and using the middle until my turn.  Just going through the middle

when whoosh, idiot driver in BMW (surprise surprise), well he wans't

giving way to anyone so steams right past me, showering water all over

the place.  Funny thing was he ground to a halt just past the flood.

Not being a nasty person I didn't think ha ha, serves him right....

much!

[captainbovine]

yooo hoooo Ed, back on Tuesday. It's gone so quick. OH was in the miseries and didn't want to go out much as it was raining  most days......but I've had a lovely rest.

[ed_blackadder_1]

I am glad you have had a rest, OH with the miseries surely not, mines been like that this week as well but apparantly it was me. Ok now with the weekend coming up.

Enjoy your last few days off, and back to the trollies with you.  I finish next Friday but I wont rub your nose in it.

[captainbovine]

ooooooh yes ya will

[stroppy*cow]

Captain - just to let you know, I had made another batch of hats for the smoothies, so I've popped a few more in the post to you. Nothing spectacular, just stripey hats with a bow on top, but they are easy to do.

[captainbovine]

I thank eeeeee....

I haven't done any sewing for two days, we had visitors and today we had a picnic lunch as we only have one day left now of our holidays.

it's getting cold though ..... and it's windy!
