This reminded me of an old rant I have, if legacy rants are allowed.

In a job I had many years ago I met a Lord. An actual Lordy Lord. He used one of these things frequently, but it's not part of the rant.

Where I worked sold stone, big slabs of stone for using as big slabs of stone. He came to us on a particularly rainy day and asked me to show him around the yard. I look out the window, rain is pelting the floor and ricocheting back into the sky. We go outside. He had an umbrella, I did not. He did not offer to share.

So around the yard we go, and I show him all the stone. When we reach the last one he turns to me and says "perhaps I'll come back when it's not raining".

I like the way you think! Plus this would complete my transition into officially middle aged.

I can actually make it all the way up without stopping to hold onto a tree and catch my breath halfway, now, so I can only assume peak fitness awaits me very soon.

Urgh, you have my sympathies. Hay fever solidarity.

Hmm that's a tricky one. I've just stabbed myself in the thumb with a cross stitch needle, you can pretend that happened to you if you like?

don't

Maybe someone complained about a middle aged lady huffing and puffing her way up there every morning and being embarrassingly sweaty at passers by... 🤔

Along with a terrifying curse to stop them taking the new one. I like it.
