Have just returned from Aldi for (ahem) store-cupboard essentials and I’m glad to be indoors. Miserable weather: 3°C, windy and sleeting. Bleugh.
Armers, I laughed at your description of the expounding excessive engineer. I fear that he may just bore the floodwaters into submission.

I remembered that I used to enjoy knitting. I still do enjoy knitting.
I had forgotten that I used to hate sewing all the bits of completed knitting together.
Tedious, fiddly, boring!
One shoulder seam down, all the rest to go…
I must not allow myself to start knitting the next thing until I’ve finished this.
Next time, reduce the misery by knitting on circular needles with the Magic Loop for the sleeves?
I’ve never tried that but it sounds a great idea. In the meantime, the other shoulder seam before I reward myself with a cup of tea…
Or something.
I have shopped and am delighted in that I found a pint mug
I likes pint mugs and larger for my tea
I hate sewing up. My Norwegian sweater pattern, as I knit it, requires me to sew up a seam of twelve stitches length in each underarm, and that is It. I learned this on Aran sweaters from a retired Naval captain. So it isn’t sissy even slightly…
Wee birdie
You keep away from that nasty water
Fish live in it and some fishies have teeth
In that water, they probably have teeth growing out of their eyes, and vice versa.
Yes best stay with the Fish you know wee birdie
Meanwhile in Los Angeles:
SNORKITY SNORK SNORK!!!
I love that wee birdie
On account of its amusing Tweet, perchance?
,
Or the Gin supply line?
I shall found Tseeper and make a fortune off the destruction of civilisation.
You’d better get a Flappity on, then.
A lot of competition out there.

The cat KISSED me when I came in just now.
Charged down the stairs and got ready, as I thought, for a bit of the old Bitin’ an Smitin’, but no - when I got down on a level to engage cautiously with him, he just reared up and pushed his nose into my face and rubbed his forehead around a bit. This is both very sweet and a sign of a feline sadly lacking in proper self-respect.
And tomorrow, he might even get A Whole Sardine (who just said I am easy? ah, hush).
I’ll fight 'im forran Sardine…
Blimey, Gus
Proffers 'Normous Pitcher
