From my facebook page this morning.
A nun went into an off license and asked for a bottle of whisky.
"Whisky?", the assistant asked, "I thought you nuns didn't drink!"
"We don't", the nun replied, "This is for the Mother Superiors constipation!"
She bought the whisky and left.
Later that night the assistant saw the same nun dead drunk on a park bench.
"I thought that was for the Mother Superior's constipation?", he said.
"It ish!", she replied, "When she sees me like this, she'll shite herself!"

Yes .Last episode in the current series
Good afternoon everyone.
We have some very heavy rain showers that have shown up a problem with the skylight in the kitchen. When the rain is at its heaviest water is some leaking in around the edge of the perspex. I'll have to get up on the roof to investigate. It has happened before, moss and rubbish builds up around the small gully so hopefully it just needs cleaning out again.
The escape committee meeting is off this afternoon. Two are still at work, and one is unwell.

I have been pottering in my workroom this morning. We had some showers but nothing much. Rain is supposed to start again this afternoon.
Lamb for us today with new potatoes and veggies.

I had a fried egg roll and cuppa for lunch. There might be the chance of a shower this afternoon but I will go for a walk. Don’t think it’ll amount to much.
I will offer you some advice.
When you dunk your fried egg roll in your tea.....don't let the yoke run into it

Don’t worry. I wasn’t tempted to dunk it. Only hard biscuits should be dunked!

Go on, try it. What do you have to lose?

The TV remote has been playing up for a while, and getting worse, so I looked for a replacement on the bay, eventually choosing one which looked identical, wasn't too dear, wasn't too cheap(!) and from a seller with decent feedback. Fell on my feet with one for £10.50 including delivery, which worked straight out of the wrapping. Excellent result.
However, being askinflint responsible green-minded person, I didn't consign the old one to landfill, but waited for a rainy day to dismantle, clean and reassemble it. No screws holding it together, so it needed to be prised apart. Inside, the circuit board was covered in a disgusting oily mess; dog knows what it was, but a scrub for everything in hot water with washing up liquid cleaned everything up a treat.
Maybe not the usual recommendation for electronic componentry, but nothing to lose - I wasn't going to shell out for contact cleaner.
Anyway, end result is that it works just about as good as new, so we now have a remote each, instead of having to play catch across the room.
Could be some more fun to come when we want different programmes!
