I feel like we know each other better than our own families sometimes (mine seldom stay in touch).

So it's good that we care for one another, in fact the beast is one of the few that I even know that have the coronavirus plus his whole family has it.

it was Sunday when i received my test results that i was positive. Though right now i can feel it going away, it’s gonna be gone in a while. it didn’t hit me as hard as my grandparents. they got it a lot worse than we ever did. My grandma actually fainted once it got so bad. I hope they will pull through this too.

Moira cut my hair yesterday on number one, so now I look like Jason Statham's dad. She said it feels "Like a nice bit of chenille... and, as you know, I have a thing about chenille"

Always a number one here too and over the years the first sign of my uniform hat becoming tighter was the cue for the wife to get the Wahl shaver out.

I just beat my missus at Scrabble by 11 points: I got 229, with my last word (using my very last tiles) being "WIN"

Watching Elite Dangerous download at 1bit/hour (courtesy of the landlady keeping her wireless router in a faraday cage), wondering what will finish first: The download or this Glenfiddich.

^ at least you and the Glenfiddich are in good company

We made a 25 km hike/excursion(?) through a nature reserve (was treemendous) with two friends, but both parties will be alone this evening. Just came home, now preparing the traditional prawn cocktail, with more brandy than initially planned.

I judge a man by the whisky he imbibes! If yer sippin' Glenfiddich laddie, ye kin well afford to send poor Neal enough to be a I visited that distillery in 2017! Driving in Scotland on the left at age 66 requires a deft 'designated driver' just getting to remote distilleries ... I post while wearing my Talisker sweatshirt! I'm a 21yr Glengoyne sipper myself! ....certainly enough 2 B be a

^I wish I could say I bought it but it was a gift, together with a Highland Park Viking Courage (that's a new one for me). I'm a sucker for Bowmore Darkest (Islay purists may frown but it's still my favourite).

I do wish to visit NW Scotland myself, or SW Ireland. Canada is way out of reach unfortunately but the islands closer to home have been on my bucket list for decades. It might even be possible in 2022! Wales and England far enough from central London I would love to see more of as well.

Don't forget a good sprinkling of cayenne pepper over the seafood sauce

That one barely rose to its teens before I did it in. The Highland Park Viking Courage it is now. Didn't get too favourable reviews that one but I like it. It's smooth as... So smooth in fact, that I need some Motorhead on the speakers to roughen it up a bit.
