So, who wants to help... to perpetuate the cellar?

In case the pubs close again?

Don’t scare me none - we’re well shored up against that having just been to Aldi. All customers had face coverings, distance was considerately observed.

Love the Dog, Twellsy.

There was a seedy youth in Hobbycraft who was not wearing a mask, yesterday. I asked him, from a distance and therefore at a fair volume, where his mask was … no reply, and he tried to pretend he hadn’t heard me, but the security man did. He was wandering gently over as I came away.

ā€œSeedyā€ - I love it! I’ll suggest to Mr Bee that he uses this term rather than ne’er-do-well.

Ha! That reminds me of the last scene in Arsenic and Old Lace where the old chap says, ā€œYou don’t see much elderberry wine nowadays. I thought I’d had my last glass of itā€, whereupon the sweet old lady hands him a glass, saying, ā€œHere it is!ā€

Our teacher took us to London to see it with Sybil Thorndike and Athene Seyler and she took us to meet them afterwards backstage. There was a quiet man sitting there, which I mentioned to my Mum who told me it must have been Lewis Casson. This must have been around 1967, because he died shortly after that, I see from looking it up.

I feel for you. Really. It’s a bit much for me here, at 22 deg, I think I’d melt if I had to put up with the sort of temperatures you get - which is why I refuse to visit the South of England other than in the winter.

About 13°C, hereabouts. Bliss.

We have spotted, trapped and escorted off the premises an Enormous Spider. Everyone should have a Spider Catcher, comme Ƨa:

Ugh. I should know how to warn phobic types (as Hedgers did with that Horrible Moth), but I don’t have the gift.

I’ve got two. My hands.

I never could see the problem with spiders, though those with a phobia have my symapthy, obvs.

You are a Brave and Admirable TFM, for sure. I’d love to be able to scoop the innocent creatures up for relocation. Just can’t.

S’not an Orrible Moth.
I too would have been keen to evict that spider, though.

The wonderful alliance of a lepidopterophobiac and arachnophobiac might make one wonder how the poor kinder may fare. They try not to hold it against us.

Not at all - nothing brave about doing something that doesn’t bother you. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have warned me that spiders can, and sometimes do, bite, but all I can say is that that has never happened to me.

I have never been stung by a bee or a wasp, TFM, so I have little fear of them.
