Pore Twellsy! Gentle hugs and best wishes from me.
Good news about the Ma, Gus. UTI’s are the very devil.
I hope that your Internetty is returned easily, Carinthia.
Fish Quay, today and a trip to Lidl for store-cupboard essentials.

What does it say about me that I read that as ‘Your Guinness’ ?
That I’m good for you?

I’m certain that’s true, Gus 
The Knitting Fishwife was on-duty, today, but her boss served us (she was up forra chat but was flapped away to serve someone else). My wallet is £40 lighter, but we bought:
2 x sea bass fillets
2 x salmon steaks
1 Large smoked haddock piece
1 large undoctored haddock piece
1 large hake piece
1 large piece of cod tail
Large bag of huge prawns
so we weren’t robbed.

Soo, please may I come for supper?

Have escaped to Pub. Wiv wifi. I do struggle on me ancient tiny android.
Ma is much better in herself but very weak.
However, supper has been ordered, so I shall be doing pork medallions with a mushroom sauce, a baked tomato, French beans and about seven oven chips. I feel this is a Promising Sign.
Hope Twellers is improving and our Chatelaine reconnected.

Anytime, Darling. Although tonight’s menu may disappoint - cauli steak (I know), falafels, kale and rich tomato sauce, by the side. Mr Bee will chow down on garlic bread - I shan’t.
I feel that you are a Good Daughter and the meal sounds a lot less veggified than mine. I hope that Ma is able to do justice to your excellent cuisine. Hugs for her from a bee - don’t freak her out, mind.

Oh, Soo, have no fere: she is very well disposed to Bees. And she knows about That Poodle. She has a Poodly Friend, Dan, who sits on her feet at committee meetings.
Oh, and Fishly-Dunnocks: the beauty and obvious intelligence of a certain Hound have been much admired.
Did I mention the malingering old trout clobbered me at cribbage earlier? And I was doing all the shuffling/dealing/pegging… Rude, I call that

Still sounds good to me soo, but if I’m honest I’d prefer the sea bass or (esp) the hake.

I got all nostalgic after we mentioned the Faraway Tree books last night, so I’ve had a little google to remind myself about them - and I am horrified to discover that they’ve been Politically Corrected in recent reprints…
Dame Slap has become Dame Snap (cos we can’t have children being slapped, can we?) and there are now no references to fighting so the goblins are merely ‘chased off’ rather than being fought and pummelled (cos children will turn out violent if they read about fighting, I guess, like soo and I did I suppose).
Oh, and Fanny and Dick are now Frannie and Rick, FFS.
Moan, moan, grumble and groan.

Toast might stay put…
I hates bugs

Well, I have the original stories in my safe-keeping, so that I may subvert any passing children. What have ‘they’ done to Grimms? I have those nasty little tales safely locked away, too.
Only right and proper. I do hope that the toast stays put and does some good, Twellsy. I was a teeny bit brave in eating that which I have, considering the copious amounts of sauerkraut I ate, yesterday (yes, there’s quite a lot left, Hedgers). Self-inflicted ‘upsetness’ and I’m not trying to compete.

Evening, Darlings
Finally reconnected after a trip to the Post Office this afternoon with my Passport to register my Sim card
Christ onna Bike
Christus auf ein Fahrrad
I used the Hotel Wi-Fi this morning & established that I could do all this online, but that would involve scanning my Passport & taking a Selfie…
Ahem & Snork !
Another thing which has taken up a lot of time has been the search for my spare caravan key
Wilde Hilde has, indeed, lost it , 'cos I got them to open the safe at the Hotel & I checked through God knows how many keys ,& it wasn’t there. This afternoon we asked Joseph to check in the Camping Office, & it wasn’t there either
Not earth-shattering, but nevertheless, has been going on for over a year now
Sigh & Spit
I hope that Slammers are available…

Oh Soo I hope I have not passed my lurgy to you
I saw 5 bees on my sunflower plant earlier
Feasting on the nectar and pollen they were and I was delighted to see your relatives

You really haven’t, Twellsy. Apparently, when commencing a sauerkraut-containing diet, one is supposed to start small (a teaspoonful of the brine, initially) and progress to two forkfuls daily over a month. I ate easily two forkfuls on Monday and prolly five with my salt beef, yesterday. Self-inflicted.
I’m very glad that you’re reconnected, Carinthia. The key izza bit of a mystery. Would this be a security risk, where you are?
