@wulfhelm.bsky.social You’re OK, it’s low in saturated fat and beige in the centre.
Boxing Day Mead Hall Special:

Tactical Bubble and Squeek.

Leftover sprouts, mashed spud and diced onions fried until golden black. Crusty to the point of forming igneous rock and slightly less toxic than Fukushima sushi.

Pudding:

A powerful emetic.

Suitable for vegans and close combat.

THE #MEADHALLSPROUTS ARE READY.

Be seated and well behaved ready to receive your portion.

Bad behaviour will be rewarded with a second portion.

As is customary, the @dutytorturer.bsky.social will be on hand to ‘help’ reluctant diners.

May the Gods show mercy on your (arse) souls.

If you can, make peace with yourself. Because only then you can make peace with others.

Learn to be still. Open yourself to the world around you.

Listen more than you speak; but deny the oxygen of attention to those that would manipulate you by antagonising or feeding your concerns.

✌️🙏

Can’t wait for the Bretwalda’s speech tomorrow.

Perhaps @wulfhelm.bsky.social will finish the bloody crab story?

The #meadhallsprouts are on the final stretch. Cook has chiseled off the scum and the sous serfs are fanning the green miasma mist out of the kitchen. The aroma is so unique that the rats are throwing themselves onto the kebab skewers in desperation.

Your #Wülferhampton Apothecary wishes all a joyful Yulefest 🎄

Yule Health Tip:
Consume the Cook’s sprouts with caution. You heard it here first!

The Sprouts are on the final simmer. The cauldron wall thickness has dissolved by 34%, indicating that this years batch are slightly stronger than usual.

Make sure you get a snug fitting cork from @apothecaryhelm.bsky.social

It’s time to link hands and dance around the big tree in the buff.

When I get back home. I shall relate the hire car story…

A tale to rival the crab story.

But as a thread. Not episodic.

Anyway. The Scotland sojourn continues…

Currently hunkered down somewhere north of the great glen.

So. Long day but a good day. Pretty drained emotionally.

Thank you for your kind words and wishes.

I should be sleeping
Like I can in the day
When my mind is distracted
And I just drift away

I should be sleeping
But the still of the night
Conjures my daemons
And my memories bite

I should be sleeping
If I could only suppress
The thoughts that torment me
Perhaps one day I’ll rest
