    you didn't wash in Sairy, did you?
    so it would be Ffairy, maybe.
    Only Yng Nghymraeg where the single f is a v sound and the ff is an f sound, and the ll is a sound the English cannot make.

        It’s in Unicode:

        ſ
        LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S
        Unicode: U+017F, UTF-8: C5 BF

        so any font that supports that block has it

          Lunch was borscht that HWMBO had made as part of his birthday feastings and saved some for me to try. It was very good.

            delicious IISSM.
            and more Rioja.

              More left overs for dinner from his birthday extravaganza.

              Starter of beef rendang and Indonesian beef satay.

              Followed by milk roast chicken (no idea) and coconut rice.

                Odd the way things mysteriously disappear. Down the garden I had a sort of monster I made out of some unused wire baskets and liner. It had two big bloodshot eyeballs I brought at a local novelty shop. One has now gone, nowhere to be seen. I can only assume some predatory bird, like a magpie, thought it was an egg and carried it off.

                  Tea: beetroot sandwich, bramble jelly sandwich, Heinz vegetable soup with added hot smoked paprika, yogurt, corner yogurt, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                  Entertainment: The end of "The DaVinci Code", all of "Angels & Demons" which I found rather more to my taste, now the end of "Homeland" S8 E12 wherein it's all wrapped up, I assume, since it's 2 1.25 hours long.

                      Grilled shoulder lamb chops, beef sausage with chili and paprika, plus white sweet potatoes on the braai. Albarino was a good following wine.
