It's an acrylic template for a journal cover. You make it from leather.

Well wrapped it was to.

Very windy with heavy showers. A blizzard of text messages from Calmac. Our ferry is off, no it's back on again, no it's a different boat so will be late but sailing, no amend that to mebbe sailing. Winter timetables are like that and that is why I need a car.
Just got an email from Sister in Law in Denmark. She got very alarmed when her handbag began talking to her. Turns out she had triggered whatsapp on her phone and started a family conference but it took her a while to work that out. My late wife's sister so it does not surprise me.

Thought that was Wee Willy Winkie although he was often mistaken for Wee Willy Classic

We had a Willy Winkie as barman in the Mishnish Hotel. He also did haircuts along at the local garage so you could get a trim while waiting for you car to get finished. I wonder how many of the Settlers who think they know everything would know of him and what his real name was? In those days you got a pint of heavy in the public bar whether you wanted it or not.

When my parents were very old and frail they heard an intruder downstairs in the middle of the night. In total panic they phoned my sister and she got her husband to cycle up there to see what was going on**.

He let himself in with his spare key and found a robot voice coming from their fancy emergency alert phone**** - "Warning, the phone's batteries need replacing! Warning, the phone's..."

** Why didn't any of them call the police?!!!

**** Both parents had alert buttons on lanyards round their necks. In an emergency they could press the button and the phone would call a set of contact numbers several times. If nobody answered it would eventually call an operator and playback a recorded emergency message to them.

As flounces go, that is pretty tame. You need to up your game
Let us know when you return where you are off to.

I think even I could flounce better than that and I am not known for good flounces .
Come on @gavroche we will give you another chance but it must be better.

Quick update re the aunty.
Hard to believe this (to me anyway)
●in surgery early afternoon.
●had half a hip replacement (there is a
name for it).
●back on the ward. Had lunch and is
wanting her tea.
●she start physio tomorrow
I find that staggering.
Main problem we can see is, with all the Covid stuff, they want her out.......but there is no care facility where she lives. It will take some thinking about .
