So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

“In unrelated news, we’ll be holding a First Aid class in the church hall on Thursday evening…”

My experience of nuns driving is that it’s a test of faith: either they KNOW God will look after them, or they’re desperately timid and can wait five minutes to pull out onto an empty road.

I hope she is not taking his attention away from the cellar’s lost cause

Now wee birdie would you stop playing with my new roommate’s bed controls

I am sure that having the bed up so high and spinning isn’t going to help her

Why not let the nice kind nurses find you a tiny drip for intravenous gin

And you have a great wee spot to roost in

Where the arm that holds my telly/computer screen/phone/internal line to the kitchens attaches to the wall…

I have some cheese and rich fruit cake to share…

Anyone who has lived near Ampleforth will tell you that priests are worse, but in the first category. It’s all a bit like the was-it-Templar thing about the greater the sin you take to the table, the greater the Lord is shown to be when He forgives you: the worse you drive, the greater the Lord is shown to be when you don’t get yourself killed.

I once had to take evasive manoeuvres to avoid 4 nuns in a Renault 4 on the Falls Road

I was driving a work vehicle at some speed and the nuns pulled out about ten yards in front of me

I missed them by a huge swerve onto the pavement

My colleagues were not pleased with the rather huge bumps as I mounted the kerb

I could just see the headlines about nuns coming from a monastery being squished by an armoured Landrover

It felt like sun. It was a brighter grey than it should be in November.

Icy rain when I went to the Post Office this afternoon.

I called at the Orsepiss to pick summat up, & they were erecting a marquee on part of the car park.

Should keep the straw bales dry at least…

In Other News
Itizz still raining

Sigh

Yerrrk. We have similar, albeit probably a bit less icy. It’s not pleasant, though; and the young woman sitting outside the Tesco looked perished. Heartbreaking. She seemed to want dog-food more than anything for herself. Dog got food, of course, but I gave her a couple of bars of chocolate anyway. The bloody coffee machine in there was broken, and I am sure she could have done with something warm.

More importantly, should keep the rain out of the Drink, dahlink.

Well

Yerss

I suppose so

I’m not keen on mulled wine, TBH. They used to have Famous Grouse, which was nice, but no good if travelling there by car

I got 500g mushrooms for 12p, so mushroom soup will be made

The spittle of Satan, dahlink. Filthy stuff.
