@derrymick.bsky.social Flying visit to the dear auld Glesca toon on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th October. Need any long-players picked up?

French wine, Scottish prawns. In Norway. More of this kind of thing!

Been a long time, been a long time, been a long, longly, longly, longly, longly, longly time. So it has.

Just got a knock back from the bank for a loan to build a wheelchair-accessible extension for Finn. Seems we don't have enough money.
So I blew my giro on bevvy and oysters, and now I've got no money. That'll teach them.

Here's some I drank earlier, including a Triplette. Think I'll be having that next weekend too.

That 17. mai is a load of pish. Everybody in Oslo's cuttin aboot in fancy dress. Whit are they Norwegians like? Wouldn't get away with that rubbish in Glesca, ikke sant @derrymick.bsky.social ?

It's only taken 7 years, but I finally managed to convince La Higgelleta to get rid of the dishwasher. Middle class nonsense! Can people no wash the dishes any more?
And anyway, I needed the space for my new wine fridge.
Cin,cin!

Floorboards lifted in the loft, watched the Celtic win the league, and all set to make the tea when the family come home. A treble you might say.

It was Pinot Noir from Pays d'Oc, in the kitchen, with the cheese knife. Sounds like påskekrim, but this particular Norwegian Blue is most definitely still alive.

Finn's multiple seizures resulting in (another) week off school is no excuse for me not looking my best; you never know when that job offer will come.

Just had a delivery of nappies for my 9 -year-old, Finn. It's great being disabled coz they give you loads of free stuff. Not just nappies, but medicine to keep you alive too! Shame we're no longer in the UK, or he could look forward to getting a job as well.

The sun has set on Finn's 9th-birthday weekend. He celebrated at respite, at school and finally at home. He doesn't eat much, but
did manage some waffles with us tonight. Fingers crossed we can do it all again in a year.❤️

Fridge for sale. Comes with jar of piccalilli (unopened).
March 17, 2025 at 9:16 AM
Finn's getting spoilt rotten at respite. We'll celebrate when he comes home on Monday. I'm also being looked after.

Irn Bru going in hard to corner the roughie-toughie, sticker boys market in Oslo Øst. @derrymick.bsky.social

It's just like being in Hospitality. Except they make you do the dishes at the end. Other than that 👍

Let's see if this Navarra purchase from Glasgow lives up to its TWC reputation.

As a substitute for pie and bovril I opted for "pre-match" snails and Kelner. I've just been informed it was "pre-Paddington" snails and Kerner.
We'll see about that.
