Doug paid a whistle-stop visit this morning and wished to be remembered to
you all who know him. As we weren’t heating up the barbie this morning, we
made do with the wok, frying dish and air fryer produced breakfast of
bacon, fried egg, sausage, salad potatoes and little tomatoes.
Mrs. McToodle wore her UMRA tee shirt and old photos were brought out into
the light.

…and mushrooms were harmed in this mini UMRA meet-up.

What a delightful way to spend a Saturday morning! I hope you told him
that there are still umrats who remember him and think fondly of him.

I can't put it better than that, so I shall stick with a <LW>, backed up
with an aol.

We did. We did explain how to access us these days.

He was up before daybreak in Stroud, with his hosts, who were headed for
London, and was here not long after 08.45.

I did brandish the cap as well. We couldn’t find the McT’s shirt, and
while it was warm enough at 8.45 when he arrived not to need covered arms,
I’m now so cold I’ve added a thick jumper! Ridiculous!!

The majority of photos are digital, but I found one of him in 2000. He
hasn’t changed in looks at all, even his specs frame shape was similar
enough for me to think they were identical! And he *insists* on listening
to TA in real time! Or at least when he’s not working as wireless officer
on whatever boats who’ll still take him (at age 78) ‘as a ratings level
wireless officer’ when it must be more difficult.

Best Chris
