Ian – That is serious grounds for divorce. Worse than adultery.

TT – You barred again. Too damn cheerful. And what’s worse, cheerful over a bloody football match. Tcha!

Baino – You are fibbing again. You were all chirpy on the podcast.

There was definitely something strange about today all right. It seems to be a global phenomenon – all quarters of the globe, so it’s nothing to do with the seasons. TT doesn’t count because he is happy about football, which means he is very sad underneath. I wonder what caused it? An astronomical event? Did CERN fire up their Large Hadron Collider after all?

Grandad & Co. Count yourselves lucky. I have those vacant days regularly. Maybe I’m smoking the wrong kind of pipe tobacco.

What is this? Some alien plot or something? I awoke (if that was what you could call it) feeling like I’d been pumped full of morphine and stayed that way most of the day.

Somehow I ended up fully dressed before I manned my wife’s quilt shop while she was off doing a show which was probably a good thing. I’m pretty sacry in the buff. Even my sweater was on the right way. There’s something to be said for mechanical movements.

I was even shuffling for heavens sake.

It’s a global phenomenon, I tell you. I’ve been in a haze all day! Geeezz… I went down to a local University, hoping that seeing all the college mantraps adorning not much more than trainers would knock me out of the daze, but to no avail. I’m still in a haze. We did a podcast?

Awww . . definitely world catgotyatongue day! Even the podcasters were a little ‘weary’ (I had an excuse, it was after midnight and I entered my pumpkin phase). Cheer up chook! There’s always tomorrow. *breaks into annoying song from Annie and is hit on head by son with large frypan*

Well Grandad and Ian I am even more cheerfull now. You see I am a Man U supporter. My wife is a Liverpool supporter. So a really loud rasberry is on its way to you both right now. Might take a few hours to cross the Atlantic; by which time I shall be even more cheerfull as I shall be well imbibed down the Irish pub.
Y’all have a better day tomorrow. ps wearing that suit probably made you glum !

Ian – OK. I’ll let TT back in. because he is probably miserable again.

The first function of a Grandad is to be grouchy. And I can’t get a light off the cooker if I have no electricity. Anyway, pipes are hard to light off twisty bits of paper.

There are loads of stories I could be telling, but they are all boring. Except the one about the Cheddar Floods. But I told that one already. So there.

Grandad,

Don’t be uncharitable to tt – his team has just played abysmally.

The first function of a Grandad is not to be grouchy (if you make a twist of paper and turn on the cooker you can get a light), but to tell stories.

Now, there must be lots of stories you could be telling us. Sit down with the pipe and tell us more about the great flood of 1968 – I liked that story, it was my home county.
