Good day at the lake, 21.2.2017

A fair crowd at the lake today considering it wasn't that bright!
Still it wasn't raining until later on in the afternoon and there was a bit of wind for the mostly yachtsmen in attendance!.
 






Whose's boat stand is that?, an accident waiting to happen!. Safety first at all times hey!.



There were a few Tugs on the water, Al the Comm here is also a submariner, having a change today though!.



Though the tugs were all it one end there is no segregation intended just that the Yachtsmen get carried away at times and put in a lot more walking than the Tug men and on average seem younger!. 


Well that's it for today, don't forget it's Ellesmere Show on the 4th & 5th March, see previous post for details, always a good show and plenty of boats and trade stalls.
If you've had enough models you can always check out the museum as well!.

Charlie: "Incredible, was he psychic", Fred; No, the judge told him!.

Dolly Parton tried working as  a school teacher for a while, but it was no good, every time she turned round she wiped everything of the board.

Farmer Giles had a very attractive young wife, he discovered he couldn't keep his hands off her so he fired them!!.

It's the way I tell em!

Had an E-mail from our friends at Colwyn Bay MBC, to the effect that they are now installed on the new venue in the park next to the old lake venue. Might go down there in the next couple of weeks to see what they now have, will wait for some better weather though.

If flattery gets you nowhere, try bribery.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, 
Just in case you have to eat them!.

Don't hate yourself in the morning,
sleep till noon.

The show had a happy ending,
The audience was delighted it was over!
