bless us and save us, joe. …stamm’ aus Litauen, echt deutsch. And all that crap
But to be fair that looks like a dangerous bottle. I have a nose for these things. In a different life I might have been a bottle-nosed dolphin.
Or an azalea
Or slime-mould.
'S’a lottery, innit.
Have another Hug, you Dozy Bugga
Carinthia.xx
That is a Slur. I is by no means dozy. I am wakeful.
But Hugs abounding, possibly rebounding (oof nooo, ooch, wouldn’t work, the reboundings betwixt me and the next bugga, dahlink, someone would definitely get hurt)
Abounding then. Or abundant. Or just hugs aplenty (see, this H&S stuff works at the micro level)
Mwah
Gus xxxxx
Have just read your sad news, Gus. Fuzzy hugs from me.

Unfortunately, it also proved to be a less-than-airtight bottle - it was completely flat. The whole lot went down the drain. Fortunately, I had alternatives to hand…
Brown soda (trying new recipe) and white yeast loaf will be available shortly…

Brief rain here, one left. If nobody eats it soon I will put it out of its misery.
I see that Carinthia got there first. Ah, well. It seems that a successful BBQ has been enjoyed.
We are in possession of the Poodle. She is being gorgeous. Her handlers have popped down to York, to discuss Wedding cake and flowers. Having woken at 05.00 every morning for many days, fretting about canapés and making them, Mr Soo and I have decided that life is too short and we’ll cover that caterer’s charges for making them. In case I sound parsimonious, each canapé will cost £2.70 and there will be 60 guests at the drinks reception after the ceremony. Dearie me.
Our Gus has been on my mind, all day. More hugs, Dere.

At DiL’s 50th last week, most of the catering was from M&S , as in their platters of sandwiches & mini desserts
Porkie Pies were courtesy of Watson & Brown, 'cos they make the best, & cheese pies were from Kate’s Pantry, 'cos she makes the best
It was delicious, there was no waste, & no member of the Fambly was knackered through fretting about cold plates/hot food, & the like
Life is too short, Soo
Time you had an Gin or 3
BiL’s no 1 Grandson is getting married on September 29th & I expect there to be flurries about that
The date isn’t exactly auspicious, but is the only Saturday available this year
I am keeping my head down
Except when choosing which Nat to wear
Obvs…

M&S do yummy party food, imo, and I’d be delighted if they’d rock up on the day and present the food in the gazebo, while the ceremony takes place. As it stands (and given that the venue is around 15+ miles from Embra - where DD lives) we need someone not only to make the blasted tasty treats/morsels/alcohol soaker-uppers, but to serve them fresh while we sit about weepily observing the lovely stuff. Nope - we’re sorted.

We have Gus at the barbecue, where she is being bored rigid by a Swedish friend of ours who is drunker than he thinks he is. Sooner or later she will Bite him…
I wasn’t suggesting it for your do, Darling - I wish I’d used it for mine, that’s all
As it was, there were 2 parties at my home - 22 came on the Saturday, & 24 on the Sunday
Extended Fambly & Outlaws
We bought homemade cakes from my catering friend , & she did quiches too
Everything else I did myself, from roast beef, pork & ham to haslet
Mr C, loved every minute of it, & consumed rather a lot of red wine before making an excellent speech
I was knackered
