It would have been a good picture and I am glad I was far enough away for
her not hear the laughter.VBG

I will get a good weight for the bottom section but I think it will have to
be a good one as the net rings seem to be very buoyant which is why, despite
the obvious stupidity of it, I wondered if it was supposed to float in some
way. Lots of minor things have changed over the years away so just wondered
what else I had missed. I am getting paranoid due to kids in fishing shops
looking at me as if to say "What do you want Granddad " then realising I am
a Granddad now.(;-)

The rain held off in the main but the wife nearly did a Mary Poppins with
my brollie. I had to do a runner to the nearby pub as I had urgent need
of their loo. As I reached the other side of the lake the wind got up,
not mine, so I rang the misses to tell her to take down my brollie. She
mumbled something then as I walked on she came into view. Seems the
brollie had already tried to take off and when I phoned she was fighting
the brollie with a sandwich in her mouth and the phone in her hand. I
really wish I had taken my camera round with me.

would have loved to see that hehe.
