Always wise to blame someone else, Twellsy…

I blame nobody for the fact that I’m off to bed armed with anti-bees. Nowt serious, just tiring.

Good nights, Cellarites,

Isn’t that the primary purpose of Other* People? If not, what are the beggars for? It is possible I have been too much online.
Oh, who else’s first thoughts were ‘Calvados? Scumble?’ when they heard the news? Took me a worryingly long time to cotton on. Wouldn’t object to bein’ offered that class of ‘an apple product’ :apple:.

*flexibly defined as Them out There and Not My Nigel, sort of thing

Oh FFS! I spend ages doing a Tesco delivery order for tomorrow and then I discover that tonight’s boat is in danger of being cancelled due to severe gales. If anyone has a couple of fingers spare, please would you cross them that tonight’s skipper is of the brave/foolish persuasion and decides to go ahead with the sailing.

That’s what we are getting

Thank you Twellsy + leopards. The last thing I need is to spend hours trudging round shops trying to find stuff that isn’t there. The joy of island life.

Similar to life in the west

I want exotic stuff like golden sugar and get told there’s no demand for it

And half the stuff we want for delivery is not available on line

Why not I scream at the screen!

There are too many very wealthy residents who demand the exotic stuff here for that to be our problem, it’s that all the fresh and frozen foods that we don’t produce ourselves have to be brought in daily by boat, so when the weather is bad we quickly run out. It’s a pain but we do have other advantages.

I decided to do a cottage pie for dinner

The bottom is Dexter beef mince with onion mushroom heritage carrots and petit pois

The top is steaming as I type

I steam spuds as the local floury spuds fall into a gloopy watery soupy yeck in the saucepan if you are not careful

I am not a fan of Irish stoo

Give me a decent cobbler or brown braised steak

Woke up very late and came down. read local newsgroup. Seems we have been lucky in this road; from elsewhere I read

“Just witnessed a double explosion in [redacted], in an excavation under pavement a few metres from crossing. 2 cnd explosion resulted in 15 ft flame from said hole, fruit shop electric went off.”

If it had been a sewer he’d’ve noticed the shower of shit, so that’s a careless gasman, chances are.
