How many birds fly around?... Must be 1000's reet... Just look at the starlings murmurate for instance Now me question is "where are all the dead birds?".... You will see the odd road or cat kill but you'd expect to see more.... Do they all bugger off to die at the birdy graveyard???

A day of boiling my blood shouting at speeding cyclists on the towpath... Grrrrrr

Seen our girts fb and I've learnt abit of translation, for instance... "wots up hun" (normally found after someone's cryptic post) it means "I'm a nosey so n so and I trive on gossip, adding abit and spreading rumours"

Doing pink jobs

I did my apprenticeship at thorn automation... Later thorn emi..... Later jasmin.... Later redundancy..... I was the welder there.... When we moved to sellars Wood bulwell there was only a handful of us moved that bloody factory... Me.... Don Waltham... John Osborne.... Brian Appleby.... and a truck driver from outside called Sid Eastham..... I loved working there until pee poor management let us down

What lol..... We used turn up at the moon about 15/20 bikers and it certainly got abit "rowdy".... We always got a bollocking..... Then it were off down to the Star n Garter at Hazelford then a blast down to the Vol at Caythorpe finally finishing off back at cheggO... When I think back I'm surprised that I'm still alive n kicking

Waves, wind, rocking

Never been a Facebooker and tbh the more I hear about it the more I think to me sen "thank frig" I'm not

Been down the peel Street sand mines... There's loads of it, it's pretty deep from the entrance but on some levels you can hear tvs from houses above..... Been down the Mansfield road mine too which comes out at back of number 2 St Andrews Road.... Ralph Holmes(cycle/motorbike dealer) used live there.... I married his daughter Sally and she showed me all in the caves and told me how they played in there as kids.... dens n that

See Chris most mornings... His moorings are opposite "The Steamboat Inn" at Trent Lock. Him and his wife Jan live on two historic working narrowboats.... Carlton le willows eh.... Did you know a history teacher there a Mr Wells?

I started on a rsw11....me mam had the rsw16 and still had when I got the Moulton.... I can tell you the Moulton it were >lighter, faster and because the Moulton had suspension it were more comfy

Done feet up

Braunston is a lovely place built upon the canal system..... "Braunston" won't on the side much longer, we're paint her this year..... And we're having "Fellows Morton & Clayton" put back on the side and replacing Braunston with NOTTM...... We shall be about the area late May so we might bump into them

Bugger me.... Ralph's daughter Sally was me wife until she passed.... His second shop was on the Rylands the he ended up with a Honda dealership on Ilkeston road

At the moment we're at Trent Lock..... We got 1950 lister Ha2 in our 70ft

I'll keep me eye for them

Flipping eck it's been like a Bank Holiday at skeg here at Trent Lock.... What gets me is joggers/runners spitting everywhere... Huffing and puffing all over you as they run by then occasionally putting one finger over a nostril and blowing snot out the other might as well be coughing all over you

Where are they based? Is it a narrowboat?...... Think its goin to be the middle of April although there's boats moving now

Only just....... Think the brother n sister could pull the boat no probs lol

We got 5 dogs on our Narrowboat.... 3 staffs which are mam, son and daughter a German schnauzer and a lake land cross border..... Its mental

On the Trent
