A Miserable Day in Stromness

Last night the wind incessantly sighed around the bolt hole as l gradually turned the pages.  And sipped a well-oxidised 17yr old Craigellachie.  The new stove was delivered after dark by Alastair Groat.  Now the lum needs to be swept and liner and flue pipe purchased.  The inside wall is still to be totally stripped back and then made good.  We'll probably drop the ceiling too.  It all takes time.  Is anyone any wiser?  What was all the froth about tupperware parties? 

Earlier today I disembarked from the Hoy ferry; there were very few bipeds about.  I wonder if the eagle-eyed EH Blipper will spot Elaine?  In an unexpected move CMC has cancelled her Strathspey and Reel night and opted for a night in!!!  I've just had a flashback.

Aquarius:  Normally your inbuilt ability to control your emotions, and to be detached, may suffice.  If you can't focus and maintain self-control certainly take a chaperone but leave your bike clips at home.

Capricorn:  Try being more gymnastic

Aries: Don't ower boil your cloutie dmpling

Sagittarius:  If you wish to avoid lepidopterists don't visit Widnes

Virgo: Don't stare at the dog
