Off Topic The Burly Arms

Yeah, have to have an infusion every eight weeks. Might be the last one this though.

As a result, missing the Christmas Eve beach walk.
Not to worry, the pub lunch is a treat and then after that it's be as relaxed as possible while hopping about to attention as she does the Christmas day veg.

I am not allowed to help, her brother gets that privileged task.

Suits me! I just fill everyone's glass if needed. Mainly my own.

 

Got to get some milk. Might get a bottle of vodka and a gallon of tomato juice as well.

 

Have stopped for a coffee. And a breather.

Finest coffee I've ever had in Britain this, worth the small detour on way home.

Starving actually, wish they did bacon butties too.

 

The carer the agency sent for my dad was utter ****. She’s didn’t have a ****ing clue, so I’ve sent her packing. Back to square one. ****s sake ...

 

Got the vodka and tomato juice. Decided it was risky not to. Bloody Mary with my fry up tomorrow morning.

 

Hope it all works out . Not what you need at anytime of year , let alone Xmas.

 

I used to love a Bloody Mary. No tomato juice in though, otherwise I could have maybe partaken in the same. Arse.

 

Have you rung the agency and asked for a replacement mate?

 

Sorry to hear that mate, not what you need at this time of year

Hope you get it all sorted soon mate. They sending someone else?

 

Yep been on the blower all morning. I’ve got some morning and evening cover but it’s the overnight stuff that I need help with. My brother is down now so we’re sharing the burden. ****ing nightmare to be honest.

 

Thanks mate.

 

That's actually very appealing.

Would passatta do instead you reckon?!?

 

Passatta maybe!

 

lol, let me know how that goes mate.

 

Water it down a bit, what could go wrong?

 

Said every man, before every Christmas Day incident ever.

 

I do quite like a Bloody Mary. Haven’t had one for about 4 years in Clapham. They made a lovely one with celery horseradish and Worcester sauce.

 

Have you had one outside of Clapham in the last 4 years?

 

I once had one that was very spicy and loaded with horseradish but there was a magic ingredient I couldn’t quite place so I asked the bar man.

Sherry. It ****ing worked.

 

Never had one with horseradish or sherry! I’ve been sheltered.

It was always Worcester sauce, Tabasco and salt and pepper for me. Always reminds me of flying, as I always ordered one on a plane for some random reason.
