might be able to pop down to the Creek tomorrow.....if we can get a babysitter.....

Hi Moo...If I get finished in time I'll be at the Creek tomorrow...hopefully see you...BTW...got your phone message...sorry I missed your call...busy in the bloody powerstation...

Ooops

Almost missed this.

Myself and my good lady will be there.

Apologies for the delay Moo. Just back from ski trip to Garmisch.

Can't make April however. Heading for Whitby with Ramsey Rugby Club's FMC (Fat Motorcyclists Club) AKA Team Sausage.

I may have a new recruit. A friend of mine has just bought a GS12. I will give him a ring later to see if he wants to come.

I'll try and make Sunday...it seems ages since we met up for a natter and a bite to eat...

Only one Bap I'm afraid. Grainne is going to a Pilates session. (Don't ask why she wants to learn to fly at her age and I did try to tell her that Pilot is spelled like that).

I'mm be there though.

No word on any newbies so assume they ain't coming.

Never one to be consistent - what about we all meet at Ramsey tomorrow to meet up with Chris's IAM lot????

I don't really mind......other than Pete we are all up this end??? Give me a bell on 225577 and we can see what everyone wants to do? What time are the IM lot meeting Chris? and where are theyn finishing up?

Popped into Chris's on the bike to see what he is up to ... nice to see you Chris ... and he and Dave (mit ponytail Dave) are meeting at Castletown tomorrow at 11/11.15 - SO - thats what we'll do too...hopefully piebaps will make it. Just spoke with Barbara and with Carole and neither can make it - Pete's on a marshalling course refreshing first aid and Carole has just come back from hols - so not able to come.

So - it might just be the 4 of us!...and will Dave eat this time?


Anyway - any probs in the am and I'll give Chris a shout! I need to get out on a walk tomorrow ... only a week to go before the Fire Walk ... so can't stay too long. Might walk home from Niarbyl - in which case - Derm will bring us in the car

See ya later guys...lots of love

Hi Guys,
It was lovely to see you lot today - even if I couldn't get my sizeable arse out of bed on time I did me walk - but, again, me hip gave out at 8.7miles - so not quite sure how this whole Fire Walk is gonna do. I'm gonna see how the land lies on Sunday and just do what I can! Its just heaven to walk around here - so I'll be happy no matter what I manage on Sunday! Wish me luck!

Wasn't today gorgeous? Derm has just left to get out on the bike - he's been dying for me to finish me walk so he can leave....ah bless!!

Anyway - as usual I digress...SO

Sunday 27th April! Meet at the Sea Terminal - and then I thought - what about going to Tholt y Will as the cafe has reopened - different people (although Suzanne still does the cooking). The lady who runs Rural Arts and Crafts in Castletown - is selling wares through the cafe - and they have apparently opened up more of the place.

Anyway - do ya fancy that? If so I'll pop in on one of me tours to see if we need to book etc..so a few ayes will be appreciated. I think we all were fine..and I'll give the "southern" lot a shout this week to let them know.

Otherwise - HOPEFULLY see you at The Creek Meet....and, Chris, I'll be on the phne next week to book a slot with ya!

thanks for today! Lovely to see everyone!
BIG HUGS as usual and Hee'm oo (see ya - in manx)

By the way - I'll look into holding an event down in Glen Wyllin and talk to Renee at Steam Packet - just to see what the logistics and costs would be? Nice idea Chris...and the idea of going to an event as a gang sounded good too!

Cow Shop

Hey up Moo. I've just returned from a skiing trip to Banff & saw the best shop for you called "Cows". Has things like pyjamas with "Pasture Bedtime" on and t-shirts with "Pirates of the Cowabbean" etc etc, all with pictures of bloody cows all over them. Loads of other similar stuff but bit far to nip off to - 8 hour flight to Calgary & then 1½ hour transfer - worth it when you get there though. You'll have to do a bike tour across Canada and pop in. Will miss the TT this year - shame, could have met up with you lot over on the IOM.

Cheers Al
