Sounds a bit delicious, Twellsy 😋. We made cauli ‘steaks’, deep-fried whole onion ‘flowers’, falafels and pomegranate raitha. Did the job.

Gin needed.

Lots of gin.

Urgently.

Look, don’t tell TFD I said this but I’ve had it up to **HERE** with awkward, devious old buggers - sorry, elderly fathers - and I may not be able to take much more of it.

Er, did I mention needing gin?

On the way north today I overtook a Chivas Regal tanker.

A Chivas Regal _tanker_.

I have never _knowingly_ had Chivas Regal. I _am_ knowingly having Nitrofurantoin, so I’ll shuffle off. Best wishes, all.

Sleep tight, little Bee.  
Yon Sparrer hasn’t yet reported a Blue Plaque on a Perthly pavement. I feel there should be one. Either that or you should have been given the Freedom of the City as an apology.

Might have been a fancy-shaped tanker too.

I grew up near two whiskey distilleries and they didn’t use tankers

Sherry casks to mature the water of life in yes

Brewed distilled blended and bottled on site as is proper

And no Bluddy peat near the amber nectar

It is sodding quarter to four in the bleedin’ morning and some humorous quadruped just bit my feckin’ knee.

Yes, ‘sodding’ gets a G. Why? Dunno. There’s probably a Gus style bible somewhere. There is certainly an Cat here, cleanin’ (see) vigorously, while I cower under the duvet. I got Bit earlier too, in the bra-strap region, by some class of airborne hexaped. pod. Whatever. Bitey little shite. Not Happy.

Well, might as well kertwoinnggg! now. Have an

## yardarm

Leave some for later, eh, dears.
