Hope they don’t hit you quite so hard this time round, Dahlink. And that when you do get to bed, you have a proper sleep.

Yesterday, Sunday, would have been BiL’s Birthday, so the evening was very bittersweet
That Daughter posted on FaceAche saying that he was happy now with her Mum.
I, the Nit-picking Ratbag of the Family remember her screeching at him, & him weeping when she had finally gone home.
I made his favourite meal, & we watched ‘Strictly’ together, & repaired the damage before the big Fambly Lunch* at Launays on the Sunday.
*This was to be Part 1, with Part 2 celebrating my 60th, & the Ex Fambly the following January
This, of course, didn’t happen…
Sometimes I curse my sodding memory…

Saying the “nice” thing rather than the true thing can be comforting – especially in a place like Facebook where people are always waiting to jump on you for the slightest perceived deviation from conventional mawkishness.

And since the foot, though painful, is usable, I am now going off to do some constituency-office sitting in the afternoon so other people can walk about in the rain canvassing the opinions of the voters of this noble borough. (Which changed its boundaries so that I live her, less than ten years ago…)
Back this evening.

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” – H. L. Mencken.
Also:
“the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

I have been to Lidl for a nelectric food slicer and am making a proper chicken soup using real herb celery that was pulled out of the ground by me and washed and chopped within 10 minutes
A friend is ill so I am making enough to take some to her as she has been unable to keep stuff down for a few days
Even if she drinks the liquid she will get some nourishment
Soup in the hovel starts with a whole hen boiled with barley split peas lentils and such things to get stock
The hen is removed and stripped of its meat which is shredded and put back when the carrots leeks celery and oodles of parsley are cooked
Proper meal in a bowl soup
Yon Bull bless him is worried about me making too much…
It’s only a 5 litre pot!

And I threw a lasagne in the oven while the hen enjoyed the pressure cooker treatment!
Fruit will be set to steep in brandy etc today too
What else can one do on a miserable grey foggy day where you can’t see the end of the drive for fog

The packet of light bulbs which has just arrived here includes the warning “do not immerse in fire”.
I think many things would benefit from a quick immersion in fire.
