Scorched Earth Policy

A lunchtime trip out to see P&K, and our first visit since K’s Op last Friday - he seemed to welcome the opportunity to tell all, in considerable detail and at some length. Yes, one could say it all spilled out of him without giving too much away. As someone who has luckily been spared surgery since the removal of adenoids at the age of five, I can only say, just a wee drop soup for me. And that’s exactly what we sat to enjoy afterwards.
With the weather forecast to deteriorate I seized the day. And several hours. The last of the wood was burned off. I shall miss this. I wonder if anyone wants stuff burnt on their property? When’s that big bonfire night thing in Norn Ireland? They’ve a new First Meenister and I’ve heard tell she’s a shinner! Maybe that stuff will all be banned - though as is famously asserted, you need cross party agreement to even order paperclips, it may not happen any time soon.
