I think we could have a hand or three of partner whist - a decorous game for us while our chatelaine is having a ball
Nothing serious, just pony points?
Perfect
No money just kudos?
Okaay

Who is dealing?
Wot no cheap whisky?

Oops, I’ve missed my turn, rubber, whatever. One wozz distracted by an impromptu curry night, hosted by friends. We are spilt down the middle by the B…t thingy, but managed a good time, with no rancour and finished off our curries with…cheese and crackers. I know - I couldn’t believe it. But, I ate it anyway. Mañana for the notional diet thing.

Funnily enough, I was just polishing off a slice of Christmas cake as I read that! What with missing Christmas, New Year and most of January, it didn’t get cut until well into February and, if I say so myself, has matured rather well. I’ll be factoring that into the timing for making this year’s.
I went in a submarine yesterday, in the Caribbean. As you do.
Pictures when I get back
The plumber is here. Woe! Fire and flood and chaos!

Teeth have been sucked.
The old boiler wot has Let Down a Gus anna Carinthia is to Go.
Oh blumming 'eck. Commiserations.
Oh, that’s not a bad thing, not even slightly. Because in the process we can do things like re-running the flue through the wall rather than along the machine room, cutting out the machine room heating because we never need it what with all the machines, etc.
Ere, Chatelaine: you and me 'as been mentioned in the same breath as Old Boilers.
Cheek, I calls it.
