They do seem to be becoming something of a theme; more fun than frozen peas though.Haste to the weddin’, wee Bee. Stepping gaily, etc…

Lots and lots of stepping. [grinnity]
Orf to me nest.
‘Squirrel matador’ was obviously goin’ to set me off, Hedgers.
Tendillo, tempranillo, I longed for me pillow,
Went back for a bit of a nap.
A siesta, indeed; a Fiesta skim-read,
Then I gave up and put on me slap
And went down to the town where a lovely young chap
Let me in to enjoy the corrida.
Derrida: pace Hemingway, in the bullring that day,
The sole prey on display was a lone ecureil
(Eichhörnchen) and hardly forlörn.
It certainly lit up a dull afternöon.
Ardilla tortilla was not on the menu:
It ran rings around them, departed the venue.
As ‘Brava! Orava!’* rang in our ears
The young chap crept back with his cape;
Neither tail nor paws to back up his cause
But for both of us, plausible means of escape.

We are hurtling to the ferry to a rally
The dress - it fits. I reckon it’s 128cm long and grazes my ankles. I have a brolly ‘walker’ and a shawl. Reckoning on looking like a character from Grimm’s. Given the weather forecast, I’d settle for a barn over a field, tbh.

Arrived at the hotel where the rally is being run from
It’s beer o’clock
I am orff to collect my prescriptions & dispose of my old Epipens.

Soo, have any of your relatives been miscegenatin’ wiv midges?
Gxx
Oof
Taxi late, as usual, but managed to get my prescription. No Epipens or Emerade available, so I have been given Jext instead.
It looks as though I may have to move on to the next size of red bag.
I have also collected 15 days worth ovvan humungous dose of Vitamin D 20,000 IU
That should kick-start me… ![]()

I then got the taxi to take me to Tiny Tesco where I shopped & then walked back.
Their Esso fuel is the cheapest in the area ATM, so the forecourt was complete chaos.

Prolly, Gus. We have a reputation for a bit of free and easy, on the Borders.

izz, but I simply can’t answer for my forebears, Twellsy.

Yerrrs forbears sometimes lack our good taste dear twin
Indeed. I am ‘said’ to be descended from Sir Walter Scott, after all.

Anyhoo - where has our Bird flitted off to?

Ça explique tout. The whole miscegenation with midges (which the family never mention now) was part of the Reinvention of Scotland (Wildlife Branch). Apparently early blueprints for the capercaillie have mysteriously ‘disappeared’.

Anyone else need offendin’? I’m here all night;- )
