Cloudy day but forecast to stay dry.

Neighbour's labrador seems to fascinated by my back garden. He is mystified as to how it gets in as all the gaps have been closed. No damage done so I am not too bothered but he seems determined to keep it to his own territory.

I have found a suit where I can just close the jacket if I hold my breath so a bit of lengthening with the buttons may make it presentable.
All this fuss for a funeral I would rather not bother with but the person was a great friend of my wife so feel obliged.

The house is getting into a bit of a guddle so a good clearing out is indicated today I think.

I was a bit disparaging about gin which in fact is distilled in pot stills so it would be possible for malt distilleries to make gin.

Gin goes through a 2nd distillation process which is when they add the 'botanicals' to the neutral spirit

When they say that someone is s "aloof!" Do they mean sliced ?

Good morning from Suffolk where in addition to the sunshine and (mostly) clear skies, the wind has picked up a bit. Coffee has been had along with a banana, second coffee to follow shortly with a couple of slices of toast I think.

Today will be yet another day of doing as little as possible interrupted by at least a couple of hours out on the bike making the most of the continuing warmth & dryness.

Different world now, lots don’t drink, my son doesn’t.

I think my niece has made up for your lad's abstinence during her time at Sheffield

So does scotch whisky in most cases but nothing legally added.
Auchentoshan had triple distilling but no idea what they do nowadays.

Second and third cuppas went down well and I will admit one went down with a Gold bar biscuit.
Lovely day outside.
The A45 has been safely navigated

Returning to the shopping.

Brock has decided, I think, that he has eaten all the worms in the compost bins. He has left them alone for the past three nights. I have no intention of harming him, or her, but it was getting tedious clearing up each day.

They might mean that the person is upper crust and too well- bred to speak to their inferiors.

I've been described as "aloof" sometimes; I've occasionally had to point out that it's not that I think I'm better than other people; I'm an introvert and I don't know what to say to them.

@Andy in Germany - this was written by me in jest as a response to the jokey reference to "a loaf". No insult was intended.

I have also been described as aloof. It was probably because I was concentrating on what I was doing.

Or I could add that what they were saying was so inconsequential that it not merit a reply.
