See you Shortly Johnjoe & Friends.

Bon Voyage ;o)

All aboard who's coming aboard .

bon voyage!!!

What shall we do with a drunken sailor? ;-)

Mouldy, give him to Bloomer to sort out.

Oy you two, we're almost ready to set sail, enlistment taking place on my last 'cautionary tale' blog. Somehow it got hijacked by a motley crew led by Bloomer with her plucking stick, and they really need your assistance:-))

(Mouldy slips into the shadows to avoid being pressganged). ;-)

Well spotted Hb , it looks like that wonderful comedian Les Dawson , in drag .
He might be a galley-slave .
I would like to volunteer to swab the decks , and man the tender , I excelled at rowing on the boating lake in Llandudno , so my credentials are good .
I'll bunk in a hammock on deck .

Les Dawson .

I beg your pardon Les Dawson indeed! I did try to get out of the way, but that snap happy photographer insisted on getting me in shot and unfortunately didn't take my good side:-((

Ba , I can't quite cope , ha ha :-o))))) .
You could have put the hat on backwards !

It doesn't matter what side the photographer snapped you from, B/A, you always look well. Better then the last photo I seen you in with your daughter dressed as a witch.

Lol Driad, if it wasn't for Homebird I would be getting all this abuse. I never even noticed, now I can't look at the pic without laughing out loud. It's like the one with Bloomer and her plucking stick:-))))

Thanks Jj, maybe I could have tipped my hat further over my face:-))))

OMG !

It can't be you B/A, maybe it was Bottler he was hanging around there, I did tell him to stay below deck out of harms way. If it was you, Bloomer was hanging around in the back ground. She must have not seen you or she would have whipped it off your head with her plucking stick, and then all hell would have broken out.

That hat was made for Ascot
it was made by Gertrude Shilling
I removed the flowers and feathers
and other suchlike frilling

For decorations out of place
when crewing on a ship
I bought it from a charity shop
It really was a snip

So when you laugh at my posh hat
Or at my gorgeous face
It's just that you are jealous
Of my looks and my good taste. 8~p

Oh , Ba , I'm green .
BTW , has the dentist had a visit from you recently ?
Just asked , because the ship's biscuits are known to be a bit of a trial . Jj has long pockets , and the rations are somewhat limited .

Driad, were you pinching the biscuits out of the box. If you were, they were the dog biscuits,,,, ha ha

Bow wow .
I thought they were a bit better than the normal fare .
