Gin, Soo
Am looking forward to seeing them again too
Have just had a rather worrying conversation with BiL
His Carbon Monoxide alarm was sounding last night, & again today
Sigh
He tried to change the battery, but couldn’t ('cos you can’t)
Sighs Again
He has,at least switched orff the boiler & opened a window
He is under strict instructions to speak with Local Daughter tomorrow -Local Daughter’s Partner izzan Plumber, & will know what to do

Yes Soo, but for that you could have got my mother AND a friend out and still had well over a £ left.
Instead … you buy Mr Bee a jumper he says he doesn’t need.
Humph. Some people !!!
… & Carinthia, best of luck tomorrow xx

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.

Doesn’t seem to be raining here, for a change.

Liberates Pitcher inna Desperate Manner
Have just moved the 2 bookcases in the ‘Office’ so that the man can service the burglar alarm
One of the castors has come orff the larger bookcase
Sigh & Spit
This means emptying it completely, & tipping it upside down to fix it
Well that won’t be done today, or possibly even tomorrow

Bah humbug and snellfrocky.
At times like this I am faintly tempted to call in Rob the Torch, burn it all down and start afresh.

Indeed, Dunnock
Am thinking that, when I do get around to fixing it, I should fit it with larger castors

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

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…

Piggling a fascinator is one thing, Carinthia. Piggling a large book case sound an awful lot more strenuous. Take care.
Off to buy birdseed.

Why soo, you interest me strangely…
I s’pose one could use a car jack sort of thing to lift the bookcase for castory repairness.

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.

And if it works, we could make Olde Sparrer’s Salty Garlic Gin…
