Up with the Lark this summers day, helluvar night....I could Slaughter a pig for breakfast, but I have some frozen sausages, second best I suppose. I looked for a good photo of my Rattray Butchers Boy No 23 sandblast on Google images and was pleased to find some of my own photos, second best I suppose, bright sparks... So I am going to have Summer feast on Irish sausages, with my 3. Jar "Morning Glory " tobacco special , chocks away chaps ! In my Butchers boy of course. I will oven cook the sausages and flame grill them in the yard in my cast iron stove, for the first day of summer....beats abstaining all the time , a time for feasting & a time for fasting as someone said, but he may have been kosher or halal , or polygamouse or monogamouse , God only knows .The poor dog Pop only gets meat when he is sick , the vet has him on hard tack, pedigree complete food ,the poor castrated beast. Home alone & so many jobs to do . I need a robot or android to assist me . gentlemen prefer blonds they say maybe one of each , they are only machines, I better put the night harp to rest & get the day lyre out, the party goes on. Are some of you guys hand at cards ?      |
