Phew!! thank goodness thats over.

I've never had a problem with it (apart from a bit of neck/back ache, but I seem to get that doing just about anything these days).

The message from Owain contains these words:

'Scuse me - I've just got to run and be sick.

You don't know me well enough. That's not my tipple.

Queenies?

Wavy was fashionable in the 1930s. I don't like it but wouldn't condemn it for others. I can't stand radishes but each to his own.

Funny, that, I always feel sick when I look at a ceiling. That means, of course, that Spouse has to do it ...

What's yours Mary?

Depends what I'm eating or the occasion.

Otherwise, good champagne, good single malt (Ardbeg my favourite), Guinness, artisan beers, Armagnac ... but we rarely drink alcohol socially. A bottle of wine with our evening meal, sometimes a dry sherry while cooking it ...

In summer we do get through a lot of bubbly outdoors. Any excuse to celebrate is grasped :-)

Liqueurs only when I make them myself - bullace (home grown) gin is the latest. Commercial ones remind me of the cough mixture we used to have. When we had coughs. Our systems are so pickled now that bacteria don't stand a chance, that's why the Grim Reaper is trying the big guns.

Mary.

The Grim Reaper obviously doesn't know what he's letting himself in for. :-)

For some reason he wants me, he's made enough attempts but to date I've managed to stare him out.

Mary

Good for you! I wouldn't be seen dead with anyone displaying such abysmal dress sense.

The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

Nah, one of the London crabs. Kings Crustacean, Charing Crustacean, New Crustacean and Saint Pan Crustacean.

Oh. I thought you meant prawns and that it was a witty reference to chess ... It would have been applauded :-)
