Presumably they have been able to remove the well preserved corpse of the small child in question, then ;- )
Water just back here.
All kicked off while I was at the tiny Tesco. You’d think, wouldn’t you, that if you were going out to shoplift, you’d wear a mask. Lots of shouting (none of them in masks) and argy-bargy. With luck that’s my excitement for the day…
Medicinal, Darling?

“Bleedin’ amateurs. That’s not how you hold a… never mind, never mind, you don’t want to be here, you want to be at one of me bruvver’s yoof clubs, where they’ll teach you a good profitable job skill…”
That’s a bit horrible, Gus. Local Aldi had far superior shoppers. No argy-bargy - maybe they are too depressed.
This morning, we saw two police vans and two police cars parked up, down the road and six officers were observed interacting with denizens of the street (we had no need to leave the hive to observe this). A while later we saw an Emergency Ambulance parked at the same spot. For a Considerable Length of Time. Are we:
a) Nosy barstewards
b) Caring neighbours
c) Something else
I’ll not enquire and shall wait for intelligence. I may be some time.
Good nights, Cellarites,

Caring neighbours Soo
A nurse can help with injuries and illness you know
Gin, Darling
You need Gin
The ambulance came here so often that Poorly Neighbour used to leave a bottle of Vodka on my doorstep…

< mutters darkly > There’s a name for them as gets all excited about bluddy pancakes

Morning all. Tea and a Twellsy Special in the way of bacon butties would improve the light in which I view the universe, I think…
In previous years I would go to the pub on Shrove Tuesday and get free pancakes from Maggie.
Sigh.
Bacon butties ready
Special with extra bacon forra Gus who needs tlc
Thank you, Twellsy. Viewing things with a slightly less jaundiced eye now ;- )
Sigh indeed, dear Sparrer.
Any time dear Limpet
Sad memory there dear wee birdie
It’s going to be a year of memories like that as events pass by
Sad for all who knew the lady
Well, that was… impressive. Oaf was Staring at a corner which contained a certain amount of junk and gubbins, which I removed, displacing a rodent which bolted for the kitchen. Oaf pursued and turned back virtually instantaneously. I assumed friend rodent had gone under the cupboards. Not Pygmalion likely: it was in the catly jaws. A degree of misunderstanding then arose: I tried to prevent Oaf taking off upstairs (ie to my bedroom) with it, which he construed as an attempt to deprive him of his prize. He does a good growl. I turfed cat + integral rodent out the front. What happened thereafter I do not know, nor do I want to. Full marks that cat for speed and efficiency, though.
Attan Oaf! I would say “extra Oaf-biscuit”, but apparently he doesn’t need one…
He’s just absorbed Tea 1.0 without apparent effort, so I hold out some hope that the victim was not consumed. But the Growl was something else.
Worth another look, I think…
Gawds Gus
You tell it so well…
Thumping head here, thanks to the shift in air pressure, & have slept a lot today.
When I surfaced I decided to tackle a couple of boring cleaning jobs which don’t actually require much attention- the drain degreaser*, which can be poured & left for an hour, & the microwave cleaner which takes all of 2 minutes…
*Whilst I never actually pour fatty things down the sink, & use a fat trap, I am aware that rinsing things, & the dishwasher allows greasy water into the pipes.
My normal armoury is white vinegar, bicarb, & citric acid, but occasionally, I use the least damaging of the big guns…
The microwave cleaner is nothing short of miraculous. I always cover stuff, but thought that I would give it a go. 1 sachet innan plastic dish & Nuke for 2 minutes. Wipe down afterwards & every scrap of grease is removed!

Oh, Oaf didn’t go in for any of that pissing about. The chook wouldn’ t have got a licken-in. Or something like that.
That is useful to know, Darling. Forra friend, you understand…
Pitcher after your endeavours?

Does the Miracle Microwave Cleaner have a name, Carinthia?
