    Hi there, just a quick one to say hello. I'm on a tour of southern England at the moment visiting family and friends all over the place. At my Parents in law's place at the moment and they are very absentemious so I ma doing well. Will have to see how it goes with friends but I am in charge of three kids without my DH so I shan't have too much I think.

    Hope everyone's doing well,

    Darn those injuns! ;)

    Evening all! Just popped in to say Hi.

    Gagging for a beer tonight. Started work at 6.30 this morning, then off on some training, then back to work, then another fill in job, now back home and dreaming of an ice cold one! :eek::eek::eek:

    Mrs BHB says she fancies a wine too.
    We are going to have to beat each other up until we both go off the idea .....or perhaps I could persuade her to take my mind off it ;) ..... see the effects this no beer has to the system? :D

    Hope having my dinner will help with the craving! Pretty good day all round though, enjoyed the day just feel a bit wound up now. NEED CHOCOLATE :EasterBun :EasterBun :EasterBun:EasterBun :EasterBun

    Best wishes all
    BHB

    Feels like I've stumbled into the wild west !! Howdy pardners !!

    BHB and MollyPolly have been blazing a trail across the virtually unknown land of 'Abstentia.' for days.
    Already 3 weeks into his journey BHB has been through a severe drought and when he feels that he may be in danger of coming a cropper, he gets off his horse, sits with his back against the tree, shaded from the sun, hat pulled down low, dreaming about his girl back home. Mollypolly swings on by and goes out of her way to check that it really is a six gun (and not a six pack) in his there holster !!
    'Quit beatin' the devil around the stump BHB, we've got us some real tough guys to round up this time' Mollypolly hollers. ' You knows the sort................the ones who fell off the wagon this weekend.............the elbow benders. Hurry up will ya and help me reel them in'
    BHB tilts up the front of his hat and sits forward. 'Slow down chicken eyes', he drawls. 'The hard works been done. I've tracked them down. There are your bunch of reprobates, over yonder, by the cactus'
    Mollypolly wanders over and cracks her whip. The group glance up nervously. Mollypolly immediately recognises them. 'Why it's Basilcat, Yellow Monkey and Ageing Biker ! You lost your way this weekend. I kinda guessed you guys must have carried straight on when you really should have taken a right turn about 3 glasses back. Ya'll be needing some help then !!?? Here goes'
    She pulls them to their feet, dusts them down and points to a thin gully through the neighbouring rock. 'Just go through that passage and it will lead you to the sheriff's office. There you'll find Jo, Sea, ISOM, Singlemum, Roxie, Pariskate, Jlynncsf, Amazon and Susisue.........................amongst others. Pull up a chair and get talking to them and you'll find that you'll get a better set of directions that'll keep ya going the right way for the week. Good luck now and take care y'all hear'

    .......................tune in next week for the second part of the adventures of those old bunch of outlaws 'the Butch 'giving up' Cassidys and the Sundance 'cutting down' Kids'

    Day 5 for me ....................... Yeeha !!
    Ride carefully out there !!
