Yesterday morning the owner of a local brewery sent me a message on FB to say that he was going for a long dog walk and might end up in my local. I told him to ring our bell when he got here.
2pm The Wife (tm) and I stop gardening to have lunch. We'd half a bottle of wine left from Sunday, so opened it. It disappeared quickly, so a second one was opened. Just as we finished it, the doorbell rings. We didn't go into the pub, just stayed in our back garden. He was going to have a beer then leave. The brewer's Mrs finished work at 7pm, by which time we had shot a pigeon and prepped it for the BBQ, got some sausages and mackerel sorted too. When she arrived, she brought a couple of cases of his beers.
We sat down to eat around 9pm and they left at midnight.
Also during the day our oldest chicken died - she was 6 and the first one we got, so the evening counted as a wake.
That has to be a euphemism. You'd have been too pissed to do that for real, unless you're using some sort of cannon.
bit fresh this afternoon, I think I will need more cups of tea to keep hands warm.
Or I could tap the keys faster while applying for visas for USA for family jaunt in July
