The effect in the east is compounded by the fact that the wind when there is any tends to blow up and down the streets rather than ever getting inside the houses. When one thinks about it, this makes perfect sense – as would vanes on the windows to direct some air into the rooms, but we never got round to those.

Yes. From the moment I was in Crickelwood. … &, on the way out, via the A40 toward the M40 it had gone a bit greyer but literally only began to be a fine drizzly wet at I went past the M25.
You lot are spoilt.

Yesterday’s weather was utterly vile, for us. High wind, pouring rain. It’s a balmy 8°C, now and sunny.

Bloody funny though. Especially when you’ve warned them & they’ve fobbed you off. Ask my dentist

Slammers awaiting return – or maybe just the medicinal brandy.

I’m sure I could whip up an Medicinal Slammer.

I believe Brandy-n-Benylin is quite popular, in that line

Ew.
My Medicinal Slammer recipe is very much like a normal Slammer, only it comes wiv an Prescription.

It falls within the ‘crude but effective’ category, like a slightly sticky Mickey Finn. But you can’t get the good Benylin these days, just the ‘non-drowsy’ muck.

The one & only time I took Benylin (Original) I slept for 3 days…
That was 40 years ago & I have avoided it ever since !
So
Busy afternoon, & am now somewhat Knackerated
I went along to Mass because I had a bagful of Noo But Unwanted Stuff* for Christmas Presents . Felt too Bleeeeurgh to stay, but at least that was one task completed .
*Coconut & Vanilla scented Toiletries
Heave…
Went to the Dentist with my Noo list of medication & we discussed what to do
It looks as though I may need an Noo crown wiv attendant Root Canal work
Sigh
There’s also the option of having a sort of ‘nightguard’ made, as I am, apparently, grinding my teeth & making them sharp
Sigh
We have agreed to wait until I know more about the effects of this Noo medication. I feel fairly rubbish ATM, but am prepared to ‘grit my teeth’ (Ha) until the end of January when we should know if it is working & if we need to adjust the dose.
I did a little shopping afterwards, so am absolutely poleaxed now
An Medicinal Slammer would be Very Good
Please
Thank-you

I will, of course, let you know what they are like…
Went to Another Butcher to look at the pies & had an discussion with the assistant about Haslet . She wants to try my version with Martyr Sossingemeat
I do think that Martyr Sossinges are possibly an Northern Thing
