Kit Night and Colouring Books

The first Kit Night tonight down at the new station. It was great to be able to get the kit out and check and clean it in the warm for a change. This allowed us to complete the task in 1 hour rather than the usual 2! This gave more time for tea and biscuits ...and as we all know our tea is much nicer than that made by the Lifeboat chaps. (P.S. Don't tell the boss but we found out where the posh biscuits are stored - not the cheap ones we usual get - the coconut macaroons were very nice, as were the custard creams.)

In our new pigeon holes – kindly bought by Cllr Alison Patrick was a pressie for each of us all wrapped up! – again bought by Cllr Ali (as we call her). We've had her total support from day one of the station and it is easy to see why she won a district council seat last year!

FANTASTIC - a colouring book and crayons! Thank you.

What! I hear you say ‘colouring books?’ Yes!!! . Now I’m 35 but it made me smile and it was a lovely thought. John has said I can use his crayons if he can colour in the boats on page 4. The Boss has got some colouring pens – he’s obviously better qualified so we have crayons while he gets grown up felt tips.

Brian had a go at colouring in a dog on page 5, he's out of colouring book practice and scribbled in crayon over the lines - the dog now looks more like an electrocuted grizzly bear with 6 legs; it is also blue.
