It's been a while. I've been away. As Beetle will confirm, I've not
been all there for a while.
It's not as if anything terrible happened; just lots and lots of things
going on and on and most of them still haven't stopped. I've just
realised that if I don't ignore them every so often there'll soon be
nothing of me left, just the things.
So; enough of feeling sorry for myself. It's good to be here, it's
great to see you all, and does anyone need flour?

Good to see you back; a large bag of my usual battering flour, please,
and have some caviar on the house.

No problem. Will there be an Earth-shattering kaboom?

Probably. Of her imploding, with any luck at all. If anyone wants to
see the luvverly ebomb she sent me, I'll send it private like. Very
poisonous that, and not for unwarned and innocent eyes.
IMO, she would have to improve her behavior to reach scum status.

Not a moment too soon! Something got into the cellar and ate most of the
sacks in there over the summer, so if you could see your way to bagging up
some of your Extremely Strong Flour (the stuff that makes bread you can use
to hammer nails with) I would be awfully grateful - plus, given the recent
regulations controling the manufacture and supply of tarpaper, I suspect The
Squoire might need something he can mix with water to use as glue, patching
holes in shacks, for the use of?
