Slàinte Mhath, dear Chatelaine! We have had 12 candles lit about the hive, all day - it’s amazing how much heat they produce as well as comfort.
Cheers, Lovely,

Outside they are reenacting First, Second and Third Wipers all at once.
In here I wish all Cellarites a happy new year with more of the good stuff and less of the rubbish.

I’ll drink to that, Sparrer.
To a better year, all.

The Feckin’ glitter tealights were a present, & didn’t even burn for an hour…

The heavy bombardment here seems to have stopped. The poor cat was very frightened and is still cowering on the 'safe ’ stair looking miserable.
What a swizz on the candle front.
[raises glass] cheers, Darling.

The heavy bombardment here lasted for over 5 hours all told, although divided into two.
I do love the smell of fireworks, but Dear God, the noise, these days

This morning we have light mist and, in my head, primitive ambulances scurrying between the shell-holes to pick up the wounded. My head is a slightly odd place at times. (“At times?” – Ed.)

Ulster fries on chafing dishes and hairy dogs take the form of Chilled bucks’ fizz
With black coffee to wash the fry down

Look at the paw. That cat is hungover to buggery and was clearly out Mingling last night.
