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

I have lit the Candles.

Fired-up the Quattro.

Hitched the Tenters.

Fair question. My teeth are examples of the disastrous long-term results of prophylactic dentistry - i.e. ‘filling’ healthy fissures with amalgam to prevent caries. The dentist declared that my care of teeth and gums should be an example to others. I’ll require a crown on a trashed lower molar, a filling in a broken upper molar and cosmetic treatment to an upper incisor. Sigh.

Fifteen jars of whisky marmalade cooled, labelled and about to be stashed. Same amount should happen tomorrow, sans whisky.

And the fine layer of surface marmalade only got about half-way down the kitchen before it was rounded up.

TFD saw that and thought it was wonderful. Then he saw…

And made a horrified face.

Oh dear. Perhaps a whisky sans marmalade to settle his nerves after the shock?

Talking of whiskey how is OMCB and her collection of malt whiskey?

Trust me to associate an elder lady with collecting booze…

I’m sure that will happen before the evening is over.

Same as ever, thanks. Well, OMCB is the same as ever, the collection is ever changing as one bottle is consumed and a new bottle purchased. I’m looking forward to reading her interview in the local paper on her 100th birthday, you know the sort of thing, when she declares that malt whisky is the secret of a long life. Three years to go.

Good for her

I am delighted to hear that the collection is ever changing with her happily enjoying the whiskey as it should be

Tell her this one of your ML chums asked about her and hopes she is running staff ragged

I love Whisky marmelade 'cos it isn’t too sweet.

If you have put enuff in, you won’ t need to polish yer beak, Dunnock. It will be gleaming… :grin:

That looks Beeeyyoooutifully ‘Frank Cooper’ in colour… :blush:

Posh used to make jams/marmelades & preserves to raise money for the Chernobyl Children. I sent her my Mother’s preserving pan through the post, wrapped in fabric for her to use.

Gawds

That seems like a lifetime ago. The Charity Shop they set up barely survived the 2020 lockdowns, rather like Posh herself.

I am having my Spring Booster on Saturday.

Achtaehellwiit, the Midnight Snot has struck. Apparently my nose blowing and splutters are discommoding the cat. Pass the revolver and any unmarmeladed whisky and I’ll find me a library (will nobody think of the bindings?)

PS: hurrah for wor Chatelaine’s Spring Booster!

Narrator: fortunately the books directly behind the desk were bound in luxurious wipe-clean Sparrertex. Upgrade your library today! You never know when They might find out about That.
