In pub again, looking at train/bus connections for return tomorrow. Things seem to be on an evenish keel, touch wood.
I have imagined a crew whose boatswain is Higgs. Send help. Or rum. Yes, make that rum.

I have wrested the pint from the plant and am now admiring the ahem style of the guests at a wedding
I am torn between the goth with black lace tights a dress with handkerchief points in black red and steel studs with black leather eight inch heels that she can walk in
And
The skin tight dress two sizes too small so that the split up the back of the skirt is stretched to reveal her drawers and heels too big for her so she is bent forward thus worsening the situation
Which is worst taste?
The bride is in a simply shaped sleeveless dress of lace with pearls encrusting the lace a simple veil of sheer silk edged with lace and pearls
A tiny bouquet of gypsophila completes the ensemble
Simple classic elegant

The too tight dress, undoubtedly.
Beautifully described though, I can picture both of them. I wish I couldn’t, but I can.

Gin and soda izz being enjoyed.

That is good news, it sounds as though Mrs S’s progress is as good as could possibly have been expected, and I bet she’s relieved to be rid of the heavy plaster at least. I hope they’re giving her enough help with pain control - if not they must be nagged until they do.

She says you’re all very kind to a person you don’t know. I’ve not pointed out that you do know her in so many, surprising, ways.

Have Severial Hugs, Soo
Went with friend to Maria Saal this morning where we inspected Noo Sewing Machines - we have been having this conversation for 2 years, & she has, finally taken the plunge. Excellent demonstration of 2 machines, &, on my advice, she has chosen 1 wiv enuff Bells &Whistles - Pooterized these days, BUT, most importantly, with speed control.
The machines have to be ordered via the W6 website, but they are guaranteed for 10 years, & servicing & extras can be purchased from this tiny showroom in someone’s house.
We celebrated by going to the Cafe in the ‘Schleppe Kurve’, which is next to the Schleppe Brewery
We both had Coffee & Cheese& Ham Toasties, & then I had a glass of Fizz
I was ‘treated’ to the whole thing as a ‘Thank-you’ for my help, which was lovely
Thence to the ‘Sued Park’ Shopping Centre where I got my coffee capsules on offer, anna Noo key cut for the caravan.
Flushed wiv Excitement, we then went to ‘Happy Home’, where I could have stayed for a week . Happy Home is an Fabric Warehouse with bolts of cloth from floor to ceiling.
Bliss
Mr C used to say that I could go in for 10 minutes…
We were only an hour (or so)…
I picked up a roll-end of very light showerproof fabric from the bin inside the entrance for 3 Euros
When I measured it (much) later, there are almost 8 metres of fabric…
Back to the Campsite for me ,& what was supposed to be a quick visit to Wilde Hilde’s, where I was fed Coffee & Cake, & then, as it was Hissing it down, the Booze started to flow
My NDN was there too, & I blame her…
Ahem
Homemade Zirben/Zitronen Schnapps - they buy 38% Korn very cheaply, & add fruit/herbs/sugar etc
It was very good, & not too sweet, & we had 5 each
Splutter !
I then went back to my Palast , unpacked me shopping & decided that I couldn’t be Harsed to cook, as I couldn’t have the door open 'cos of the rain, so I gathered meself, & went to the Hotel fer summat to eat
The place was rammed with Italian Chapters of the Harley Davison Club,so I ate in the bar, where I met Traudi. I have seen her every year for the last 22 years.
I thought ‘Bolleaux’ to everything, & enjoyed an 'Normous Fernet with ice
Came back an hour ago, & ittizz now Hissing it down again
I will sleep tonight Please God
Other Deities are available…
