The Robbing Butcher - Bemused by the Patio at FrogMhor Cottage

[TheMustressMhor]

What next for the Robbing Butcher?

Will he wander past Mhor Cottage several times a day so that he can keep an eye on the progress of the patio?

Will Mr. Mhor's measurements turn out to be wrong? And will Mustress Mhor and her DH have too many SLABS as a result?

If they do, what will they do with them?

Will the eggs be dippy tomorrow?

Sign up below if you are interested in the answers to these pivotal questions.

I've had a rather shite day and it's shaping up to be shite tomorrow too. Can I share this? It's like a combo of industrial strength gaslighting with lack of confidence sort of issues. I do NEED a tiara gifted to me to get through it all (with a side of sherry.)

Just been catching up with the parish magazine. Quite enjoyed a misprint:
"The Women's Tea next week has been cancelled. Sorry for any incontinence caused"

7 and LaMarsch

OVienna, sorry to hear that !

People were talking about memes today... I remember this cartoon when everything H&M kicked off... Cartoon Prince Phillip driving away, saying something along the lines “I can’t take this anymore, let’s go for lunch! There is this pizza place Andrew told me about that I would like to try”. It made me smile .

7 and LaMar those are brilliant

O, I hope today ends better than expected

I have a sniffly nose and a headache....wonders whether to self isolate (2 weeks binge watching crap on TV) but bet work would advise I can work from home instead and test out new IT systems for conferencing !

I’m barely surviving, we’re going through some sleep regression or beginning of separation anxiety. Nights are rough

THE ROBBING BUTCHER LOOKS AT ME ASKANCE

This morning I fought through the blizzards to get to the village and buy utterly essential foodstuffs for Mr. Mhor and myself.

Mr. Mhor was waiting at home for the Stornoway black pudding.

(Again. Regular readers of these threads may wonder, with some justification, if the Mhors live almost exclusively on Stornoway black pudding.)

Anyway.

The RB was, for once, open, although I had, as usual, thought that he would be shut.

Make of that what you will.

I purchased the black pudding, fruit pudding, haggis, bacon and ruinously expensive eggs.

I was just about to pay when I remembered that we needed square sausage - and not SSSS, either (*Sub-Standard Square Sausage).

So - I asked the RB for some "Round Square Sausage."

You would think I had requested something he doesn't actually sell (like sockeye salmon, for example, or Jerusalem artichokes.)

I must ask him what he calls his round square sausage some time. He has it cunningly displayed next the square square sausage.

Anyway, he gave me an impertinent glare, as ever, and charged me a small fortune, (also as ever) so I suppose you could say that things here are much as usual.

Darling OVienna, please come for the weekend.

There is a good deal of sherry in Mhor Cottage and you can meet the Robbing Butcher for yourself.

(That's always assuming he's open, which, as you know, is never a given.)

Poor old Worfs.

I am so glad that the sleepless nights thing is well in the past.

And if there are any oto-rhino-laryngologists reading this thread, can you explain why my earache gets worse and worse throughout the day, culminating in a sensation of having a small man drilling through to my brain, by bedtime.

Oh Mustress! what did the doctor say at your appointment?

Bah. The doctor said I had a fungal infection in my ear and gave me some eardrops.

It's not painful at the moment but by this evening I will be whimpering again.

Maybe the drops plus some sherry and ibuprofen will work tonight

Sorry felt compelled to post pic of my dad looking dog!

Sorry should say sad!

Oh jeff I love your misprints.

And your splendid DDog.

Gee wizz it's cold today with a biting wind. Keep warm and safe everyone.

Ps does anyone else get satisfaction from ignoring posts on various threads when they dont understand the point of the post. Saves from derailing me thinks.

Why thank you, @TheMustressMhor . Very proud 😌 of ddog !! Hope your ear isn't too painful? . I sympathise I suffered with earaches since childhood, no advice I'm afraid .
I'm sorry to say I got drawn in again by our friend!
Why can I not learn and ignore? 🤨

What an excellent pupper, jeff

I adore your dad dog jeff 🥰

I spend a lot of time being a walking servant of my sister’s dog. She is a little whirling dervish version of the same breed. 😀

Sorry about your sore lugs mustress

That is a pain there’s no escape from. 😢

Hope your drops do the trick. I trust sherry is allowed in a medicinal sense?

After all the praise I can't resist another photo!
