Morning, Clear and crisp here.

Some of you chaps must look like the splendid gents in ricardian's excellent photo. Note all of them with their titfers as well. Thinking about it, I know about the Crimean War, but what on earth were we doing there? I assume we didn't wanted Ivan pottering around those waters, but this must be looked up later.

More carnage in our back garden. A fox just caught a squirrel and then another fox decided it wanted the treat, so the two foxes start fighting. The poor squirrel was too badly injured to get far and after the bigger fox had chased the other fox away she came back picked it up and carried it away for breakfast. I had to eat a chocolate biscuit to recover.

Morning all, another sunny one E'ly wind is still there though.

Frantic couple of days as our Wildlife trust is hosting this years Inter Island Environmental Meeting, so we have about 60 delegates flying in. Hard work getting things set up and ferrying them about but an interesting experience in regards learning about other projects and how other Trusts in the UK and elsewhere go about doing things. :)

Angels I think you'll discover that the Crimean war was one of the most pointless one going; essentially it started with an argument over whose church a cross should be in Jerusalem. The usual bickering between different religions. Then the big powers had to get involved. ... :D

Tony - Just post with the button on the right, whatever it says. C(onstant) = the button on the right.

Had coffee, interrupted by the arrival of some rather annoying yummy mummies who were all able to take part in three different conversations with each other at the same time. They all had high pitched voices. :(

As long as they were yummy mummies can't see the problem Angels. Unless of course they were Egyptian.

FSL is getting grumpy. Best retire quietly to your cabins. I tell you, there will be keel hauling before the day is out. No rum ration tonight :(

Wodrick, when David Ginola played for Newcastle, wasn't he known as the Frog on the Tyne?

Exascot - Oh they were yummy alright. Indeed, one was sporting a most acceptably low cut top and appeared to have forgotten to put underwear on, so no problems there. :x

It was the bloody racket! :-$

Not feeling too good today. Very nauseous.

We seem to have gone back to 'submit'. You can come out of your cabins, perhaps we will get our rum ration tonight and Fluffy her sardines.
