Y’know when it rains so hard the raindrops bounce back up off the road ? Well, it’s been doing that here for 3 hours. … & it’s just got worse. Only 2 weeks ago I actually emptied gutters & drainpipes & drain covers of leaves & an alarming amount of mud (& 2 buddleia !!). It was a good job I did. Now, I need to find a very large puddle, by a pavement, and preferably near a school. ---

Yes; if you have to go through a complete embuggerance, you might as well gain something at the same time. I _need_ today, y’know. We will run out of milk if I don’t have it to go shopping in. ---

Well The Young Man has been , a whole 90 minutes early - he blames his Mum (it’s a Fambly Business) , for booking the previous call 50 yards away, & the next on the other side of town… Doesn’t matter, & I can organise myself (!) & get to the Orsepiddle for my blood test When/if this all settles down, I will be able to go to my GP Surgery, which will be much more convenient Carinthia.xx ---

I stiffened my resolve, & went & looked in one of the cupboards in the garage, where, as expected, I found an old tea-caddy with a label onnit saying ‘Castors’ There are 4, of the same size that are on the bookcase now I may be able to Piggle things ( Technical Term, M’Lud) & put a stretcher in & an extra 2 in the middle Then again,I may not… Carinthia.xx ---

I have been shopping at Lidl and among other necessities of life (bread flour, milk, olive oil, butter, eggs) I have bought 70cl of Wild Burrow slow distilled Gin, which says that it has been enhanced with Botanicals from Rabbit Island, West Cork, as follows: Juniper, Coriander, Angelica, Orris Root, Orange, Lemon, Blackberry Leaves, Dandelion Flower, Scots Pine, Wild Garlic, Wild Fennel & Furze Petals. I take leave to doubt that the orange or the lemon came from that island, and it was the garlic which sold it to me; if it isn’t garlicky enough, we can always drop in a couple of pigs of the stuff to steep for a while. ---
