It spelled fruitcake across the back, and Bodie wore it with pride, hoping his old friends came by on Christmas Day like they used to, so he could show them he was happy with who he was. Alas... they didn't.   Hey, B.  

He found new friends...

If it's so cold he either needs more clothes or less clothes and a warm place to snuggle.

It’s warmer down under, send him here

Hi, B.  

[Headstall]

Happy Tuesday, all! 

[Marty]

Good evening, all

This evening I am making homemade applesauce from Bramley apples.

I intend bottling (canning) it in screw top Kilner jars (I think the common variant is Mason jars across the Pond) to give to some friends for the Christmas.

Wish me luck. I've never tried this before.

Correcting another of my inevitable typos.

Well, it's certainly quiet in here tonight...

What's up everyone? Cat got your tongues?

And, in other news, I finally got the oil-fired central heating in my new (old) house inspected today. Turns out the boiler is banjaxed (that's an Irishism, meaning, in this case, that it's broken). The plumber told me he could order parts for it and hope to get it working again, but that the cost of the parts alone would be almost as much as buying a replacement boiler. So that's the plan. He hopes to do it this Saturday. Boiler around €250. Hopefully labour charge won't double that.

And this plumber reminds me of just how long I have been living around these parts. I remember his dad, back in Easter 1987, telling me the wife was expecting a baby in a few weeks. Who'd a thought that baby would now be my plumber?   

(Or should I call him my central heating technician?)

Hi Marty how was your weekend?

A bit of a late reply, but the weekend went well, thanks!

I trust yours did, as well...
