The contents of my hallway are now in the bedroom and I'm trapped in my living room while the floor gets laid.

They still do that over there?
You'll be saying next they've only recently stopped punching your other arm afterwards.*

*Done to give you something else to think about.

Shhh
Let's keep that on the down low.

Shhh
Let's keep that on the down low.

That could be painful!

 

[Gravity Aided]

That could be painful!

So could two punches in the arm. And it isn't even the first day of the month.

I can vouch for kitchen conditions in the Middle East and probably cracked a few kharsies in the process.
One abiding memory is seeing a flock of sheep being trotted through the Arabic Quarter of Old Jerusalem. The shepherd would haggle the best price with the 'restaurant', take the money then slaughter the chosen sheep on the doorstep then move on for the next sale...

On any of his jobs in that area he reckoned the first couple of days would be written off sitting on the aforementioned khasi. After that he could get some work done.

got my Boosta! did not even feel it! I think they are using smaller needles for these!

I don't understand why but some nurses are better than others at giving jabs. Abdominal ones are usually painful but some nurses seem to be able to do it painlessly. I have asked them but they just say it is down to technique.

I have just bought a set of ink cartridges for my printer.

How's the mortgage?

Yep. I was living in the Jordan Valley for nearly a year and had a serious dose when I got there. After that, it was just the occasional 'looseness' 😬
The 'cure' was liquid morphine, black tea and dry toast.

I was just thinking about that poor taxi driver. I doubt if he would be covered by insurance !

I am pretty sure that somewhere in the small print my car policy specifically excludes acts of terrorism.

Big Toe still not happy - not sure it will tolerate bike shoes, it's certainly not happy in office shoes !

Grey, mild and still here chez Casa Reynard - where did my beautiful sunny morning go?!?!?!?!

This morning, I moved all the cut firewood into the garage, sorted the ingredients for tonight's supper and done some more writing.

Well, not so much writing as thinking time. A scene in the chapter I'm working on, I wrote nearly a year ago, and it needs cleaning up, fleshing out and matching to the rest of the story. So been figuring out how to do that, messing around with various ideas etc.

It's almost time for luncheon.

 

[Reynard]

How's the mortgage?

I'm sure I can manage a £7 purchase...

I might not have any coffee today, either.

Will that make me a decaffeinated person? 🤔

I've just drunk a mug of coffee after eating a sausage roll.
