Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman.
As promised Lady Hooray's log box is now on it's 4th color She wants Duck Egg Blue, she keeps buying Battleship Grey. Surely someone else must realise that's she's color blind!
Theres only one Duck Egg and thats not the color.
At least I managed to get away from the F&B paint.
Lady H insists that we use oil based eggshell for everything. She cant understand why very few manufacturers make it any more, after all whats the environment got to do with paint.
Then she can't understand why I tell her that we cant change the color by mixing emulsion or distemper with it. I had to say "what happens when you mix oil and water like a salad dressing". "Well it curdles" she said. Point made 1-0 to Handy
Talking about Cordon Blue cookery which she did at finishing School, It's a shame they never did food hygiene back in the 50's. If she has guests at the weekend, she starts preparing the food on Monday.
Where handy comes from Well Hung means something entirely different, not 3 weeks old and stinking.
I have figured out why they consume so much drink at these dinner parties, If you drink enough It kills 99% of all known germs.
A shepherd I knew when I worked in Bonnie Jockland, got his water supply from a stream off the hill. Normally it was so peat stained it was the color of tea. I asked him did want me to get him a jerry can of fresh water from my spring. Och he said when it gets twa bad, I just put less in ma whusky.
When I took Lord Hooray on his last Glorious 12th to Scotland, we were following the shooting party up the hill when his Lordship stopped at a small pool at the side of the path, Handy he said I'm going to have a drink of water from that pool, Highland water is the cleanest purest anywhere in the world.
With that he knelt down got a handful and started to drink. One of the keepers was passing and shouted Och mon thas fool O coo sharn. (translated don't drink the water its full of Cow Sh1t) and pointed to the herd of Highland cattle drinking from the stream a little further up the hill.
My Good Man said his Lordship, I'm English and Cant understand you.
Och tha's welcome said the keeper, use both hands if you've a mind to.
Regards all, Handy.
