That cat thinks he is In Charge. (I know, he’s a cat, they all do.)
I lurve The Clown in Residence (tenure to be decided, by him).
I have decided that, when DD and future SiL visit next weekend, we’ll prepare a magnificent feast of Turkish delights. I am not sure of that which I’ll prepare, but That Poodle is guaranteed all of her favourite stuff.
Good nights, Cellarites.

The oaf was doing gymnastics in the bath earlier. Roly-polies and standing on one ear and suchlike.
Oh, the plug was out. He’s fine.
Gxxxx
Feel cleverer. Thattiz a norder. Dere Chatelaine, consider a Preservation and Cosseting order slapped on yer windscreen.
Azzit were.
Vodotchka and hugs

Pore Carinthia! I hope that you have recovered. Is the awning sorted? Are you overdoing things? Hugs from yer bee.

Another sweaty day.
yardarm
wiv plenty of ice.
The awning is onnits way from Germany, so I am living in somewhat ovva mess ATM . I am aware that I am getting a bit nervous about it too, or rather ‘overthinking’ things
I didn’t get any rest at all yesterday,as my favourite shade under the tree was occupied by my neighbour’s Rellies ,& I had a very bad night
Lots of Anniversaries here at this time too,so that is having an effect too, as I can’t help remembering
Anyhoo
Today I had 2 glasses of Fizz,cooked my Lunch & then had a good long rest in my declining chair with me feets up & me gloves on
It is the weekly Market this evening,so I need to be upright fer that
Carinthia.xx
Have a basket of hugs dear chatelaine
Been to see about my knee
Posh Mri scans requested
At another hospital as it is able to reprogramme my shunt
Then give a call to blood hosp
I could tell that it was posh quacks - put one finger gently on one bit of my knee and waited for me to come down from the ceiling before saying
Yessss that is a bit painful…
Slammers all round. The awning will arrive tomorrow
Gulp

I hope it will be a weight off your mind getting that sorted, dere Chatelaine.
Tenters (awners?) hitched.

Never mind about raining cats and dogs, this is getting ridiculous:
"“We believe the sheep was uninjured and left the area unaided,” the team said. "
Well of course it was!
I have told you and told you, sheep are homicidal maniacs…
As a hill shepherd in the wilds of Northumberland, my Grandad was a hero, to be sure.
I am so glad that the Awning has reached base camp and wish our Chatelaine All Strength to supervise its, erm,installation.
It’s good to know that Twellsy is being cared for, as befits her requirements xx
I have decided which Turkish Delights will be offered to DD and her Bloke this weekend. Given that my DiL was so utterly and ecstatically *enthused by/with/wotevva (*horrible word, but it does) our Turkish lunch, last weekend, I’d like to increase my repertoire accordingly. So:
Tzatziki
Hummus
Roasted aubergine and courgette with sumac
Couscous with lemon and pomegranate
Broad beans and red pepper salad
Flat breads
And, on the BBQ, halloumi and minted lamb burgers - cheating, I know.
I may also make an Insalata Caprese, as I love it and I like to include all of the world.
Soo xx
It ain’t here yet, Soo…
Fuckit Bucket ,
All will be well…
Carinthia.xx
I lit my Special Candle this afternoon, with your Awning and Stress in mind, Dear Carinthia.
All shall be well - base camp in my mind was somewhere other than the ether - and tomorrow is another day. Please sleep.
Soo xx
Thank-you Darling Soo,
I should really feel OK, as I am lucky, but I don’t
Sigh
Carinthia.xx
Ah, well. ‘Lucky’ is such a relative term, I feel.
Speaking for all ovvus Cellarites, I can confidently say that you are well loved, anyhoo xx
I must sleep.
Good nights, Cellarites,
Soo xx
