I'M A HAPPY CHAPPY

 First of all I want to  commiserate with Richard having COVID. I've never had it but have heard that it's quite a nasty complaint. I hope that he gets better soon (two weeks?) and am pleased to see that he's doing the responsible thing and isolating himself.

Second (appropriately for those who are familiar with Robert's many aliases), I'd like to commiserate with Robert who has slipped back into the Catholic Church mumbo jumbo and posted some nonsense written by some French nutter many years ago - Bernard Clairvaux - which seems to me to be some made up name of some other later French Catholic nutter. I cannot understand how the Catholic Church and Robert buy into this stuff.

What I really want to tell you in this post is that the plumber came and fixed the under-house water leak. This is such a relief and I feel quite elated now - much better I'm sure than any ecstasy experienced by a nutty and most likely bi-polar 'saint'. I don't feel obliged to make up a silly poem to Jesus. I just celebrated with a vodka and tonic.


This is the pipe and connection I tried to fix with tape that didn't stop water pissing out.




This is the replacement pipe and connection the plumber put in which stopped water pissing out.

And we all thought that C. S. Lewis was dead.
Mind you, he might have been reincarnated as William McGonnagal.

Ah, it's not cleaning car windows on a frosty morning.

"He heard a growl and demon claws
Ripped at his skin, took him away
Down to the depths so dark and drear
Where for eternity he now must stay."

So, Rob seems to be confirming that you're going to Hell.
And for eternity.
Is Rob really living a better life than you?
That's a kick in the bum for his humility.
A very hard kick in the bum.

I thought it was a reference to me having to go under the house again. Thankfully the plumber saved me from eternal confinement.

When we lived in Christchurch the frosty windows were covered in hardened ice. I’m glad to say that we don’t get that problem up north.
Lynn is off the ChCh next month ( for 2 months) and I’ll join her for a bit of it. I’d better get out my winter gear which is packed away somewhere.
