Roll-up being most appropriate.
I have to admit to never, ever imbibing in any way, shape or form. Not sure whether I’ve missed out or not.

Am relying on a handy folding travel yardarm as I travel towards the Land of No Internet. Not that it’s doing me much good - this is a ‘dry’ train, chiz.
Will pop in when the opportunity presents itself. Please comport yourselves with a!l due decorum meanwhile.

I wish The Ma all the best for this procedure, Gus.
Meantime, I have indented for an Acme Portable Yardarm for you to keep about you for emergencies.

Ahhh. The little train is not a ‘dry’ one, unlike the big train, which had unaccountably forgotten the booze, soi am having a small beer and wondering where the tops of the mountains have gone. Dissolved, probably. Damp and murky. I have not disgraced meself this time: I did baah at some sheep, but very discreetly.
Please keep me chaise warm, dahlinks

One cannot see more than twenty yards in places of high visibility here
It is the sort of fog that soaks one in short order!

Have Severial Hugs, Gus
It’s a bit different knowing what is coming & causes Wibbling in most of us
My Father had it done 3 times,each as an emergency procedure, so wasn’t aware of what was going to happen
This was a Blessing for all concerned…
I was in the middle of an Wedding Dress fitting in an shop on one occasion, & had to leave the Bride in half-pinned finery

Thank you all. And oo-err Carinthia. Ma is raring to Just Get It Done, being what is often called a Game Old Bird.
I have had some awful news since arriving. Took a while to reach me and the funeral is Wednesday so I cannot be there.
Gutted and completely floored. Such a waste.

Oh Gus, if it’s not one thing it’s two things.
I am sorry to hear this, and proffer a finny hug and a stoup of liquor.

Thank you o Fish. I just hope to goodness he judged the knot right and it was quick. Still can’t quite believe it. Don’t want to.
Please raise glasses to a brilliant, kind, witty and delightful young man. RIP Neil.
