With a confused-looking barman asking “what’s yours?”.
A brunch of soda farls topped with minute steak and mushrumps and onions and a fried egg if desired is on offer
We need a good meal to keep us warm
[peckity][peckity][peckity][peckity][peckity]
Right, orf to starve outside… who’s on the rota today?… the Carinthial Window.
Don’t ferget yer pea-soup-soofler, Dunnock.
Under the erroneous impression that today is Friday, I rang and organised MOT for the Mini, battery for Glorious Skoda (both on Monday) and a small plumber (5’4" and slight, according to his mother who is the secretary of the Family Firm) to have a look in the loft to try to work out what is leaking and why plus service the boiler. I have also left a message with the electrician – and have established that if he still doesn’t get back to us, the plumber’s firm also has a fully-qualified electrician who can probably sort out the front door light which blows the circuit if it is turned on, and the extractor fan in the loo which goes g’dunk g’dunk g’dunk while on.
Mine’s a pint.

This has me destroyed even though I know why a small plumber is required.
AttaFish!
Love that Poodle! Yay her! Standing four-square in the snow and defying Them.
In more news, I have decided on a phone which I hope my be a better bet than the trash I have at the moment:
There is a good chance that the microphone may actually work.
That looks good, Fishy. I have 3 corded ‘phones, 1 on each floor, & the one in the ’ office’ is red.

An interesting rustly package flolloped through the letter-box a short while ago. Spices! Panch phoran, to be precise.
Thank you, dear wee Bee.
I sm now pondering a) recipes; and b) a breeding programme for really tiny plumbers. One could use jockeys as sires, I suppose, but what about the dams?
Don’t look at me, Gus. Right size, but well past ‘it’.
Glad you got your spices - posted 1st class on Wednesday, mind.

“Don’t answer that!… so sorry Vlad, we still on for golf and world domination on Wednesday?”
Wouldn’t dream ovvit, me dear. Possibly a recruiting drive in Dundee? They make ‘em short there - but also stocky, which isn’t ideal for compressibility. Important trait in yer plumber, compressibility.
Hold yer horses (façon de parler). How used we to deal with The Chimney Problem? And skool bein’ out for the duration, it will keep the little bleeders occupied. Playing with water? They’ll bite me hand off, more than likely.
I shall put in a call to Moss & Son for half a gross of Mixed Urchins, COD.
Love it!

Dear Archers production team, there is always going to be someone who sees ‘business model’ where you intended ‘morally bankrupt villainy’. Live with it.
Happy to countersign, Gus.

You want to watch that. Get 'em inspected before you accept the shipment. “May settle in transit”…
