So, who wants to help ... to frivol in the cellar? (Part 2)

I’m so sorry to hear that, Twellsy. He had a much loved life, and thus was a Fortunate Cat.
Profound commiserations.

He was thrown from a car at under 6 weeks old the vet said and had a broken tail and leg

We took him in and he was such a sweet boy with the softest purr and gorgeous thick soft fur

The leopards will need extra love at this point: cats don’t understand and don’t like death.

Just sleet showers and coolth, here.

We had a bit of a Burns’ supper - veggie haggis, neeps and tatties and whisky/cream sauce. I was particularly happy with the sauce as I made it with Pig’s Nose (cooked off) and finished with Bell’s as I had both as miniatures and nowt else in the hive. I recited the Selkirk Grace in my best Northumbrian twang and we enjoyed a cheese course.

Sounds rather splendid, Soo. And I applaud deployment of the Selkirk Grace.

Burns wrote the Selkirk Grace in the Selkirk Arms in Kirkcudbright and not in Selkirk. Why should this matter to me? Mam told me so.

Sounds great, Soo

The roads & pavements here are glittering with frost, & the sky is full of stars which look close enough to pull down.

Sadly no Scotch atall at Carinthia Towers

Must remedy that when I can shop fer Supplies.

It’s not exactly mine, sadly, Soo

It’s from an traditional Carinthian song called “I hob di gern” where the man tells his lady that he will bring her every star from the sky, because he she is the only one in his heart.

Male voice choirs sing it, & it makes me weep. Pauli, our lovely Late friend used to sing it to me.
I was once interviewed for Radio Kaernten and, after the interview was asked to choose music*, & I chose that.

*Innan ‘Down Your Way’ sort of manner…

I of course, am not clever enuff to get it from YouTube or wherever for you to hear.
