I would send a pint of Adnams but it doesn’t travel…

I’m not capering anywhere today, I can tell you.

Back to blogging anon, when these damned side-effects clear up. (New medication with 102 possible side-effects — I exaggerate — and one very debatable benefit. Some big pharma is no doubt doing well on it.)

See you later!

Nora !
You should know better than to caper in the shed.
It’s a question of the morning after the night before. surely?

“Surely,’to hibernate’ means to sleep through the winter.If he makes reindeer hoof slip-ons, does he cobble in his sleep?”

Mac,

Main Entry: hi·ber·nate

Etymology: Latin hibernatus, past participle of hibernare to pass the winter, from hibernus of winter; akin to Latin hiems winter, Greek cheimOn

1 : to pass the winter in a torpid or resting state

2 : to be or become inactive or dormant

(I don’t really believe he’s dormant, though. Where do all those mushrooms come from? And the capers I leave under the garden shed are always gone in the morning.)

Dear Macarnie,

OK I totally surrender, I didn’t know all that, I am wildly impressed. I probably should have guessed the latin derivative though but for some reason I irrevocably associate cents with American movies set in the 50′s involving trilby hats, large automobiles and people getting shot a lot.

I wonder if ‘boggling’ is Leprachaunish for reproduction :my mind certainly boggles at the intricacy of it all.

Oh dear, Mac, that’s a hard one. He hibernates from Solstice to Solstice. But I can show you his latest design for the trotters.

Reproduction is explained in hieroglyphics on the inner walls at Newgrange. So far indecipherable.

You might let us take a peep at your Leprachaun, or is he, ( why are they always HE? How DO they reproduce), still busy making those shoes for the reindeer?
(Order early for Christmas).

Yayy Mac!

[just my two cents -- I'm in the Eurozone so I can now use American slang. I'm so privileged]

I could set up a webcam but don’t have a sheep. A neighbour has an Olde Englishe Sheepdoge. Would that do? Mnahhh …
