A very good morning to you all, troops.
Yes, your beloved Captain is in a good mood this morning. Apparently, Da Boyz thought I was taking their adoration for granted but didn't realise how devastated I'd be when they pretended they thought other sellers were better looking. I spent a lovely afternoon at HQ yesterday with the Field Marshalls showering me with coffee, cakes and compliments so everythings back to normal. Also, I've just got the preliminary report in and the figures are looking excellent. Just what I want to read with my first quart of coffee.
I do apologise, Lance Corporal Bits; I thought the ferocious growling was your stomach.
And finally, a wee poem for Pte. Meebo.
A Wumman's A Wumman (with apologies to R. Burns)
A cleaner, cook, a mither, wife,
A job as weel, for a' that,
A skivvie a' her wedded life
Wha else wid e'er dae a' that?
Far a' that, an' a' that,
She loves him still for a' that,
She surely must be aff her heid
For puttin' up wi' a' that.
Noo drivin' trains an' flyin' planes,
E'en Prime Minister an' a' that,
An still wi' time to mind the weans,
A wumman's a wumman for a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
Her varicose veins an' a' that,
No man could surely staund the pace
O' being a wumman an' a' that.
For men are sure a helpless band-
They're just big bairns, for a' that,
Without a wumman to haud their hand
They'd soon fair starve, an' a' that.
For a' that an' a' that,
She suffers the gawk for a' that,
Wha else could put up wi' a man,
His gallus ways an' a' that.
Hoosework's meant for twa tae share,
The washin' up an' a' that,
But the eejit just gets in her hair
An' roond her feet an' a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that
She's nae time tae spare for a' that,
So he goes boozin' wi' his pals
While she gets oan wi a' that.
But when he rolls in fae the pub
Muckle fu' an' a' that,
An' then demands a plate o' grub,
She'll clip his ear for a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
He'll sleep wi' the dug for a' that,
The wumman micht weel be a saint,
But she'll no put up wi' a' that.
So suffer a' her finger wags,
Her sharpened tongue an' a' that.
An' jist ignore the way she nags-
God knows that she's worth a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
Her screechin' nark an' a' that.
A wumman fair o' face an' hert
Should treasured be for a' that.

Good morning, Captain, and thank you. I think I got the jist of it.
As for the bear fetish(?) I was sitting up late last night finishing of 3 teddies that a very kind ebidder had requested. So now to take photos and let him know they are done
Right troops I expect you to have them lined up in the mess tonight to celebrate Private ejean's birthday and my return to barracks!
I had to rush back when I knew birthday celebrations were going on! I should get back around 11.00 pm so make sure there is plenty left. You are only allowed to 'sip' until I get there !!!
