Bolthole, anyone?

Come on in, gracesmum. You did your best! Let's see what there is in the way of food and drink - how about a champagne and sloe gin cocktail? Someone hid the bottles nehind the settee. I'll join you. Cheers!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Sounds like the place to be

Can I join you? I've just beaten my brains out trying to compete on University Challenge... and failing miserably.

Brought back the cup of whisky I borrowed yesterday and some cheese straws. Can I stay for a while?

gracesmum;you've solved an ongoing problem I've had with that word, so rejoice [it's one less thing for me to worry about which now gives me room for something else ]....

I believe you, gm. I'm not quite nobody. Will I do as somebody?

You are most certainly somebody, Bags.

I knew the "Common Ridings" answer on University Wotsits and the German one (United Kingdom) although Paxo tried his damndest to sabotage it by his execrable pronunciation

Can't decide if he does it on purpose or really doesn't care! Paxo, I mean.

Well, this is so nice and peaceful. Just what I need before returning to DH who is being the usual optimist "Oh, it won't snow!" "Oh, the main roads will be clear," which doesn't help my worries about driving later this week. Oh, another wee dram? Thanks Lilygran don't mond if I do. Did you mention cheese straws...

Help yourself, Ariadne. I may have put too much cheese in the cheese straws.......

Can you put too much cheese in cheese straws? Yum!

Heeeeeelp! The OG's bridge has been cancelled for the second time this week and we are only at Tuesday.
Desperately in need of a bolthole!
Suggested watching a DVD with him last night.... squirm time ..... it was a £3 bargain in Sainsburys so I hadn't checked it..... turned out to be very RUDE....lots of sweary words and naked flesh! Oh dear!
Now the dilemma.... how to dispose of it, can't give it to a charity shop, WHAT WOULD THEY THINK? It will have to be the dustbin..... but what will the dustmen think..... Heeeeeeeeelp!

... and look who's come to entertain us in the bolthole! The King himself www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6UerjFCLdI Enjoy.

Calm down, Oldgreymare! If it really is that awful, just destroy the paper cover insert and dispose of the actual DVD in a public litter bin.

OGM.

grannyknot I love it. I've bought some soup I've just made I'll have a wee dram in mine to warm me up.
