It occurs to me that upthread I opined that drag is generally unamusing. I stand by that view: in the case of Sister Josephine one is not watching it. And it is a beautifully made song.
A great man, Jake.

I used to go to a folk night where Sister Josephine was a regular song sung
Thank you for the happy memories brought back
Now Gus Dere drag is a part of comedy from pantomime to drag queens to Monty Python to Ma Brown
I could name several houses like Ma Brownâs without the drag but with the dragons

None of which appeal to me much. Pantomime I loathe, and MP and I have not aged happily together. Donât get me started on 'drag queens '.

Well, yes. This is how I feel. I adored MP, in its time and mine, but I moved on and MP didnât need to.
Time for bed. Best nights, Cellarites,

What could be worse than being assaulted for about twenty minutes by âmusicâ on hold while trying to get through to Eircomn Customer Service? Possibly reading through reams of documentation on EU postgraduate education policy.
Both of which I had to do today. Eventually I got through to a perfectly pleasant, if slightly misinformed, chap to talk about our broadband package. Specifically the fact that the price jumped by nearly 36% in December 2018. Having done a bit of homework (once Iâd discovered the discrepancy), I asked him what was included in the package.
âWell, you get the landline, eir TV, the set-top box, Amazon Prime free for a year and gigabit eir fibre to the homeâ
âBut we donât have fibre.â
âAre you sure?â
âYes. So was the engineer you sent out to fix it a fortnight agoâ
Fair play - he was profusely apologetic and gave me a number to contact the relevant department directly. Of course, thatâs tomorrow morning written offâŠ
Then, for a bit of light reliefâŠ
Mesdames et messieurs, may I introduce the Bologna Process? Along with itâs progeny, the Dublin Descriptors and Berlin CommuniquĂ©. Trust me they really are as exciting as they sound.

Berlin Communiqé sounds so camp. Pink silk tents get nowhere near.
Says she, missing the point entirely.
The Bologna process, well⊠Many of us are serious cooks.
Soz again.

Mid-eighties new wave group, surely.
Dublin Core is always a sign that things are going to be getting hairy.

Morning all
Platter of bacon butties for feral
I will do more for the rest of you
Yesterday I did a zoom baking group with ABI - muffins
I made a mix of cherry choclate and cherry chocolate and walnut and chocolate
A dozen muffins is too much for we two especially since I donât eat much sweet stuff
So when I heard the neighbours in their pole barn (I do NOT live near the Grungies) off loading turf avec child labour assistance I put 6 muffins in a bag and tottered round to donate muffins to the cause of turf gathering
I spoke to Mama and said I was donating muffins and she was almost piteously grateful - fat disabled old bats are not expected to bake and donate
Antway Mama summoned the three girls she has to take muffins from me and the chorus of thanks from the top of the turf stack even before they knew what was on offer was deafening
An eight year old and her twin siblings that are so identical their mother has to see them side by side to have even a hope of guessing which is which
Anyway they were lovely and sweet girls who when i said there were 6 muffins - one for all the family and one to fight over they chorused
No that will be Grandadâs
Apparently Grandad is in strife with a tractor with a defunct front tyre which is causing diffs with getting all the turf in before the weather turns nasty
Typical of life a tractor dying just when it is needed

Mrs. Armrest declared, surprisingly, that she was taking today off as the weather is to be bright, cloudless and 82°f in proper money.
We MAY, just may, pop to the farm shop & garden centre. But sheâs surprisingly unwilling to venture out.
Iâm cooking fishy chips & squished peas this evening.

How is her arm?

Doing OK, thanks.
Gets achy if using a mouse for extrnded periods. We wonât know if the remaining break is closing until after things normalise. She would have had her checkâup & x-rays/scan last week. No idea when now though.
If it isnât closing then decisions on grafts will be needed.

Please give Her Surprisingness my very best wishes, Armers.

If it is any comfort to the surprising one my Grandma had a non union fracture of her humerus aged 80
The Insultant was all for leaving it in an aged lady until she asked about her sewing and alterations for a department store
She was put on the list to have it pinned
While waiting she took up tapestry and did a nice picture with her left hand
She was right handed!
