Something I seldom do.
Nothing against dwarves, I’m not speciesist or anything. It’s just the axes.
And the quaffing songs.
And the bar snacks. Either Bombay Grit, salted pebbles or rat onna stick
wiv no ketchup.

Down with dwarves.
Poor Mr Bee is proper poorly wivva cold. I must endeavour to collect bottles from the kirk, in the morn, not for our future libations, but for the bottle tombola (which we host on Saturday). The Vicar may be the only one with transport, so I’ll be looking to him. We had intended to attend a funeral, in the afternoon, but that’s unlikely, now. Friends have invited us for dinner and I may need to cancel that, as Himself is failing.
I do hope that Hedgers isn’t similarly afflicted with the ague.
Good nights, all, from yer bee.

Morning all
Bacon butties ready
I am awaiting a father and son pair of plumbers and electricians to fettle the range and the stove for winter
Lovely pair who are both dual trades so they are the registered fettlers for our ironmongery
They are lovely and clean chimneys and take away soot and everyfink

Being hit in the gut by an axe travelling end-on horizontally and at speed is fairly discouraging in a bar-room brawl. Far more so than a mere chair.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t swing axes over your head much in combat; unlike logs, people are too likely to belt or stab you in your undefended torso while the axe and your arms are out of the way. You use them as you would a quarterstaff with a sharp edge at one end.

I fink Gus is considering the rugby-scrum model of a pub fight. The Wise Fish does indeed stay well back from such exercises. The Wise Bird was in an entirely different pub and can produce friends to prove it.

The Wise Fish in a pub fight retires with a bottle to behind a pillar, and bashes people over the head with it selectively as they come past.
