So, who wants to help ... to rattle on in the cellar?

Moi?

Incinerate summat?

No I was merely passing a comment

And I have 3 Bengals sharing our bed

If we are lucky we get an inch of bed each…

Whoops! I’d forgotten about the vertigo. Just as well I didn’t go for the Mendelssohn’s own title for that piece: Spinnerlied

Speaking of bee’s bums (no, not that Bee) you know that metal arm thingy with holes in it that you push open a casement window with, well I was at a friend’s house and a bee got itself caught in one of the holes. It couldn’t go forwards as its bum was too big and couldn’t seem to retreat either. Our friend spent a good fifteen minutes at great risk of being stung, first trying to push its head back through the hole to no avail and finally, deciding to risk all, gave it a might shove from behind and out it popped unharmed.

I thought it was a perfect illustration of what a kind nature he has.

Get a piece of wood, half an inch thick by eight inches wide by ten inches long. Put it across the cat-flap on the outside and screw the ends to the door. I am entirely serious; if you break your back again, it probably won’t be possible to stop them from keeping you in hospital.

I’m not Christine, and I know when he’s cavorting. Barring the door seems drastic, and unkind.
Oh dear. He is a worry.

He has to get used to not having free access to your house at all times. When you are around you can let him in; when you are not, or when you would like to be asleep, he does not need to be in your house. He has a house of his own to go to at night.

I have a Dire Warning for cellarites: there is Fake Gin out there.

It looks (& costs) like real gin, but is utterly lacking in Booze.

Beware!

We aren’t being unkind, Dear Gus, just abit concerned . I have had to think really long & hard about the problems of being ill & on my own , & we don’t want you to be stuck either.

On an entirely different topic, GBBO is on the TV, - Vegan Week, which has been really interesting

I have decided that I really don’t like the look of things wot are iced in Blue - they don’t look appetising to me

The colours/ theme of the wedding 2 weeks ago was a particular shade of Blue, which didn’t translate well to the Cupcakes or Wedding Cake

I may need an :cocktail: to wash the thoughts of that from my mind…
