It takes a man without personal ego to post such a photo. Sticking your head up the chimney is one thing. Looking as if you have just seriously nutted someone is another. The smile of the morning. Thank you, John. No wonder your blogs are always such a delight to the rest of us!
I hope the chimney sweep leaves no mess. You don't want to be having to clean up a sooty cottage prior to Nigel's visit. You certainly pack a lot in, John! xx
Did a patient whack your forehead? You may not feel like but you could in the morning skip around singing Chim Chimeney Chim Che Cheroo. Spell check is not happy.
On a serious note, it's a good feeling to get the chimney swept at this time of year isn't it, and to know that all's well for a Winter of burning and warmth.
My first thought was that like an acquaintance who likes to tidy up before the cleaning lady comes, you did a bit of chimney cleaning before the chimney cleaner got there. Have a good day. Cannot wait to hear about Nigel's reaction to your 'new' cottage.
Hope you got home in time for the chiminey sweep's arrival and got some good slep thereafter. Enjoy your time with Nigel! What did make that smudge on your forehead?
As a blogging friend, I feel that I should whisper in your ear that blacking up is now considered to be an insensitive racist action that may cause serious offence.
Have a lovely weekend with Nigel. Plenty of good food and good company is a great way to spend a few days.
ReplyDeleteBut wash that soot off your head... :-)
DeleteI find it somehow satisfying after the chimney sweep visit x 🌀

ReplyDeleteAre you the chimney sweep? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a job that needs doing!! Pity it has to be right now!!
ReplyDeleteSo that’s how you clean a chimney. Might work better if you wrapped your head in a towel before you stuffed it up there.

I hope the sweep cleared your head before they left.

Hugs!
Yopu need a good gay guy haircut and goatee trim! Just a suggestion...hope you get a nap and a shower!
ReplyDeleteIt is not Ash Wednesday and I wonder why your forehead is covered in ash. Enjoy your time with Nigel.
ReplyDeleteIt’s an old photo , just to illustrate x
DeleteNo need to investigate the chimney yourself. That's the chimney sweep's job. They'll be calling you Sooty next.

ReplyDeleteIt could be that John wants to appear to be a rough and ready type of bloke x 🐺
DeleteFlis - rough and ready? John's gay!
DeleteI'm not but I still have a penchant for Richard E Grant x 🍌
