You rebellious thing, you, breaking with the ‘scampi, chips, peas’ tradition. Scampi suddenly sounds like a mighty fine idea, actually.

The green beans needed to be used, Gus. Lidl breaded scampi is really rather nice, I have found.
We have had a grand walk in woodland after visiting a local nursery garden and buying some rather lovely plants which should now be planted.

All of us in the Cellar know les choses sont contre nous, I think. However, I believe they are now getting militant, with teaspoons and keys as the chief rabble-rousers. Teaspoons is plain evil; keys are devious bastards.
Also, could whoever thought it was funny to explode my knee put it back as they found it, please? (Probably one of the teaspoons rather than a Cellarite, now I think about it.)
Gah.

Oh goodness, it’s trivial compared with the Beely Kneely Trauma. But I didn’t do anything to provoke it, dammit.
Stomp gently, Darling.

Sympathy! I know that one all too bloody well; I reach for a mug, or turn my head, and someone sticks a sharp knife into my left calf. Happens quite a lot.

Downright spooky, I call it. I downloaded this to convince Mr Bee that he hadn’t invented the phrase only this afternoon.
I’m sorry for exploded knees and painful calves and can report that the horrible incident with the beely knees have left one with lasting discomfort. Meh. Tomorrow, we’ll venture into central Edinburgh for lunch with the younguns to celebrate DD’s birthday. I may share photies.

Well, there’s a thing. It was part of the family language for me, but I hadn’t thought about it for years.
(Why are blokes so sceptical? Is it somewhere in the small print of the Husband Job Description or what?)

Many happy returns to the DD, and I hope a fab time is had by all

I have noticed blokes can be especially sceptical after they’ve taken advantage of an Sparrer Investment Opportunity, for some reason.

Thud and thump
Who left that yardarm there in the fog?
I have a rather fetching multi coloured rump after falling over it
I want my trapeze back so I don’t injure myself again!
Please?

You’ve missed one, Carinthia: today is National Nap Day. (In the US, but I don’t care.)
How will I make today’s nap(s) special?

Wivvan Sossinge sandwich?
Is there an Estonian Slammer available, please?
I have just written a letter of condolence to a widow, & 3 sympathy cards.
My handwriting is awful these days. It’s not just the hands, it’s all the one-fingered typing, I’m sure.

One Estonian Slammer coming up and presumably going down. More where that came from; there’s a jug over here.
