Since Farquharson, our miniature fig tree died, we have been bereft. Bereft I tell yer...

So, without wishing to tarnish Farquahrson's memory, Mrs P and I have filled the forlorn space in the living room with another family member.

The trouble is, after Farquharson Fig's demise, we are having trouble naming him. He is a Livistona Rotundifolia (!) and this is him:

Leonard, Lincoln, Leslie, I dunno. When naming one's plants, it's important to get it right. You don't want to upset them in later life...

Morning! I'm a bit busy this morning, dashing down town in a few minutes. It was sunny earlier, seems to be clouding over a bit now.

Are you sure it is a him? Would something generic like Jay or Charlie be more appropriate?

Mr R is away for the weekend (his family all get together at a campsite for a 'Cousins Weekend') and I've managed to get out of it because it wouldn't be fair to take Jack.

I decanted a bottle of Chateau Musar 2007 last night. This will accompany a piece of roast pork belly, broccoli, carrots, and celeriac mash.

And I've got alligator steak for tomorrow.

Or Lesley which covers both bases.

Waiter, bring me my Alligator steak and make it snappy.

I've cleared out the glory hole that is our under stairs... (Found the sun hats in the process, and some membership tickets that should be in our purses rather than an envelope). Only another 10+ other such holes to go....

I like the phrase 'glory hole' - I thought it was a local-to-Sheffield thing, but obviously not if it's used in Clifton Bridge land!

 

[Smithbat]

I have a glory hole under my stairs too, so it has reached down here.

 

[summerdays]

I'm now worried whether it's something else... But that is what I call a glory hole

Just don't Google 'Gloryhole'

Mine is called the downstairs loo at one end of the house and the other the larder.
