Sorted! I made the effort to go to Bro's house, laugh in the right places, admire photos on phone (that I couldn't even see) of his mother-in-law's latest Grandchild, Oooh and ahh in all the right places, thank her muchly for the eau de toilette "Heaven scent" Geddit? O dear. I shouldn't take the piss . . . but sometimes I can't help myself. I also couldn't help myself noticing on my way to bro's house that "The man's" car was back. Despite my text saying "Please text me the minute you get back" . . . Nothing. So as soon as I got in Bros' house I text him to say I had noticed the car was back? . . . O yeah (Babe) pop round !?! (I forgot you had been waiting 48hrs - Soz Babe) Well yes I can see how its easy to forget these things when you're concentrating on running a beetle the size of a £2 coin up and down a foot long sheet of foil. But it did make things somewhat less painful knowing a cure was literally "just round the corner". Amazing how quickly I/any addict recover/s when the end of suffering is in sight. O yes, suddenly very animated and sociable aren't we? Within half an hour of leaving Bro's house, the idea of two hours in a hot kitchen, doing a roast to beat all roasts seemed like the perfect challenge :-) . . . And if I say so myself it was mighty fine. Possibly the best gravy I have ever made. Delishioso. Rinsed down with a few glasses of merlot . . . A couple of Baileys on ice to chase a few Lindt chocs . . . Now a few lines. And a few more chocs Per fect tion. I'm easily pleased really. Totally satisfied. Seems like a good place to bid you all goodnight . . . and may your dreams be sweet. There's bugger all on Telly . . . A good time for a tune . . . I'll pop back if decide on one.
Glad it worked out for you.

ReplyDeleteLOL@ "Heaven Scent", made me remember "Vanilla Fields". =)
ReplyDeleteAnnie . . . Innit eh? I was "proper poorly" till he text back saying pop round . . . Then I managed to be polite, sociable, interested and almost interesting (almost ;-)) for at least an hour . . . with one eye on the clock of course. Terrible behaviour :-)
ReplyDeleteHave Myelin?
I don't remember Vanilla Fields . . . I do like Vanilla as a perfume though. Showed Hamper G your photo of "Rudolph" today . . I told her you had just caught him leaving. She was Star-struck! ;-)
