Devlin Aloud – “Penelope and Uncle Ranson”
If there is anything more fun than writing about old fashioned spanking in old fashioned prose, it’s reading that writing out loud. And if other, far more frightening chastisement procedures are added to the mix, why, I become practically giddy with excitement.
(Some folks of more delicate sensibility may take that as a warning that other than spanking occurs here, and that caution is the only one I shall give.)
This bit was posted quite some time ago as “Of Uncles and Nieces – The Olden Days,” and the photo above is the one I refer to in the reading.
You can find the full text under the ‘Dev’s Top Posts’ section in the masthead, in case you want to have a glance before you hear me read it out loud.
Or you could just click the blue type below and take your chances.
That is all.
Devlin out.

If I was Penelope I would be good all the time. I can’t imagine being spanked by my uncle let alone, you know.
Next time I’ll put the warning text in red letters then, shall I?
Thank goodness Roman is off playing tennis, that’s all I can say. If the dogs weren’t sleeping, I’m sure they’d be shocked.
At first I thought Penelope got some pretty harsh treatment, but then I remembered that one of her faults was sloth. I really can’t abide sloth, and I think whatever it takes to eradicate it is fair game. Don’t tell Uncle Ranson I said so, though. At least not while I’m napping.
I do love hearing your voice, Dev. I think perhaps it would be helpful if you recorded several audio files and left them on the blog for us: one would be saying to get to work and stop wasting time, and another would be an admonition to put the ice cream back in the freezer and have a decent dinner, and the third would have to be a go to bed warning. Plus a story.
Scarlet, may I mention that the story not be too squirmy so a girl could actually fall asleep after hearing it? Some of his
stories have my imagination go on overdrive. 
I think I reavealed too much. 
Kaki, I think there should be daytime stories and nighttime stories. Or weeknight stories and weekend stories. Or go to sleep stories, and instructional stories. Or stern stories and gentle stories. Or maybe they’re all the same anyway. They’re Dev telling us to behave, even if he’s using someone else’s name and someone else’s misbehavior to make a point.
Goodness, I’m getting all tangled up here. Maybe Dev should just tell the stories that are inside him, and we should listen and do the best we can, bedtime or no.
I’m glad you girls sat up and took notice. And as the great patriot Thomas Pain (!) said, Excess in the cause of a girl’s discipline is no vice.
I’ll have to think about the on-site admonition system, Scarlet. Maybe store those audio files right above the blog roll.
Quite so, Scarlet. I think I’m not at all qualified to make those distinctions, and in any case, one girl’s bedtime story might be another’s full daylight or not at all tale.
I think it would be helpful. I can see listening several times a day, actually.
Okay, it’s on my to-do list.
And I promise not to laugh at it this time. Pinky swear. Hmm, I know we aren’t allowed to swear, does pinky swear count?
Phew!
I was getting a bit confused with Scarlet’s story classification. Dev, maybe you can rate them so we have an idea how squirmy it is.
You can narrow it down to just
.
I love your audio posts, Dev.
I think Penelope was seeking her uncle’s attention, the spanking, not the other procedure.
Dev, your voice is really wonderful. And I second Scarlet’s idea of the general use audio files. Like, about importance of sleep. And of getting up and going to work/school/whatever.
^Girls, what happens if we bring all those nice animals, especially the monkeys, in Dev’s study? I heard, that hippos eat paddles for breakfast.^
^Rike, we have tried turning Dev’s house into a zoo and an aquarium on two occasions. He wasn’t impressed.^
^Why am I not surprised, that tried that already?
^
^I think someone even suggested leaving a baby on Dev’s doorsteps. Oh, he also doesn’t like any bugs on his bed.^
^ Does he like anything at all? No glitter, no babies, no animals in his study … I also heard, that he is careful regarding bonfires.
^
^He likes works by Shakespeare, Isaac Asimov, Mark Twain, Bob Dylan and Humphrey Bogart. He obviously like spanking bottoms and he has a number of pervertibles. Hmm, I wonder if he’ll like his implements stuck to posters of these people. Imagine Dylan holding a paddle instead of a guitar, The Bard wielding a cane, Bogart spanking Bogey with a strap, ….^
Dev should sleep, go on and try it!
Maybe Dev will like this parody of Dylan’s song “Ain’t Co More Cane”
Ain’t no more cane in Dev’s study
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
It’s all been destroyed in the bonfire
Oh, oh- oh, oh- oh…
You shoulda been in Dev’s study in 2010
He was spanking naughty girls just like in his stories.
Burn, burn old rattan, don’cha rise no more
Don’t you rise up or swish ever again
Ain’t no more cane in Dev’s study
It’s all been destroyed in the bonfire
Dev, good afternoon, just!
:coulds: 
I love it when you read aloud, your southern(?) accent is very calming and easy to listen to.
I understand that enema’s are good for you, just like spankings.
I will not say that any of your stories are sleep inducing, however the do lead to happy thoughts as I drift off to sleep.
Warm
Paul.
You are really good at this!
Thank you, Rike.
Paul, I can’t believe you said you think enemas and spankings are good for Dev.
I thought you Tops stuck together. 
Paul, you are so funny. 
Kaki, Paul obviously meant the editorial ‘you,’ as in, ‘good for you girls.’ Mindy, I liked your parody – now just have to figure out which song it’s a parody of.
And Rike, were you up all night whispering with Mindy, or did you get up early?
Must dash.
The title of the song is actually “Ain’t No More Cane”. Here’s a clip on YouTube.
Mindy, I thought we would draw straws.
I liked your poem but wasn’t familiar with that song either, Mindy.
Dev, yes I know what Paul meant but that wasn’t nearly as funny as my version, or maybe as scary.
Have a great day!
Thanks, Mindy. The English girls may use this as their theme song.
Dev, it’s afternoon around here. I just had no school today.
But my bf is going to be home early, and I sat all day lazily reading, though I should have cleaned up the apartement. And now I am in a hurry.
Good luck, Rike. You can stash things under sinks, under beds, under tables and in underwear drawers. I don’t suggest stashing things in your underwear. That doesn’t usually end well.
Thanks, Scarlet. That’s what I usually do. But I feel so much better, when I do it properly. And we are going to have a small party here tomorrow … I guess I really should at least try …
Well, Uncle Ranson won’t have to be baring your fundament then, on account of sloth.
Wow, Mindy! I might have heard that song a million years ago, but I don’t remember it. I’ve even been swimming in the Brazos, though I’m sure I never cut any cane there. Anyhow, yes, now your lyric makes perfect sense and it’s very clever. Well done!
Um, except for the bonfire part. :waits:
Sorry, Rike – not having the time stamp really is becoming a problem. But yes, you need to get hopping and tidy a bit if you haven’t already. And I’m betting that your fundament doesn’t remain out of baring risk for too long at a time.
Kaki, your version was indeed very scary, for you that is, so we won’t be having anymore of that, will we?
Oh and Paul, I got sidetracked, so thanks for the kind comments about my voice, though I’m sure its degree of soothingness is in the ear of the listener.
And I will work on those general use audios – but as mentioned, the rating system might be a bit difficult since that sort of thing is so subjective.
I liked Kaki’s rating system…
Then you and Kaki can read the new stories first and rate them, Scarlet.
Deal!
Oh my, Dev! I listened to this at breakfast, the warning should have been louder! Seriously squimifying!
I like the parody, Mindy, but fail to see what it has to do with English girls.
Dev, maybe you should just introduce voice emoticons, for use by Tops only. Just imagine how Kaki, for example, or indeed Scarlet would jump of just after they commented there was an emoticon appearing saying “stop that young lady!” or indeed, “do you need a spanking?”. Of course I am sure TNP will manage to invent the appropriate riposte emoticons PDQ
dd, I think it’s because canes are such an English thing.
dd, I know this will come as quite a shock to you but I already hear,“do you need a spanking” fairly often.
It does sound like a great idea for TNP for Tops to use remotely. They could have speaker installed in various places. Going for the computer past bedtime,“Go to bed,young lady!” comes out the laptop. Opening the refrigerator for another glass of wine or cupcake and, “stop that young lady!” stops her in her tracks. The ideas are endless.
Dev, I rate this post VS
Mindy, I finally got a chance to listen to the Dylan song, your parody was great.
That is what I meant by being the English girls’ theme song. You hear about canes more across the pond than here.
From how our English friends talk about canes, I envision closets stuffed full of them, with more under the bed, and a few in the umbrella stand in the entry way. I think any English home would be put on a boat to China if they didn’t have at least a dozen. Or so.
Since we don’t have a cane emoticon, I vote for this one:
Girls, girls, you just think you hear more about canes over here. It’s an urban myth, Tops are just lulling you into a false sense of security.
Kaki, my idea was for TNP to introduce the remote response, not the Top’s comment! I really do not need my computer to tell me to go to bed, if I’m not there the Toppy Blackberry shows up on phone and laptop anyway!
Scarlet, that is a parasol, under which one may lie to avoid sunburn in hot climates. As our current summer has shown, England is not a member of this contingency. However, I do believe that certain of your states have hat record hetwaves, be my guest!
Incidently, I am not being spanked with anything that is heavy or has metal attached to it! As a side note we do not have a wardrobe or indeed an umbrella stand “stuffed with canes”! Of course if you are feeling deprived I can always send you one, courtesy of BBH
I don’t think the automated audio would be nearly as effective as the real thing, but I’m not saying you shouldn’t try it. I’m sure it won’t put any working Tops out of a job, in any case.
dd, we’re not buying the cane as English urban myth, I’m afraid. Many of us have been there, and anyway, Polly rather spilt the beans on that score.
But Dev, do you not have the switch? I’m guessing the reason we have it less here is because of our variable weather
Anyway, with apologies to the honourable bard…
“What’s in a name, that which we call a cane
By any other name would cause the pain”
Switch, cane, rod – as you say, what’s in a name? And nicely riffed, dd,
Here is a cake for all the nice girls, ’cause it’s my birthday. And on my birthday, all nice girls get to eat as much cake as they can.
A very happy birthday, Rike!
I hope you get all the birthday spanking you need, and all the nice girls who hang out here need all they can get.
Happy birthday, Rike. Yum, thanks for the cake!
At least your birthday spanking is likely to be considerably shorter than mine
I am apparently due a second one as my party is being held several weeks late. I really don’t see the logic in that *sigh*
Yumm, cake. Dev, don’t you thing October girls are much more behaved than girls born the rest of the year?
Happy birthday, Rike & dd.
If anything, I have evidence to the contrary, Kaki.
:crabby:
I agree with Dev. October girls are terribly naughty. It must be the burst of color in the leaves and the brisk air and the snap to the wind. It makes for mischievious girls.
Happy Birthday, Rike! I hope this is the beginning of a lovely year for you.
Rike and dd,
Happy Birthday, my goodness, another October child, we do get around.
Also to you dear dd, may BBH attend to your bottom with great attention and much love.
Warm
Paul.
There seem to be a lot of October birthdays round here. Happy birthday to you all. ‘Let them eat cake’
Thanks for the reading, Dev, though I can’t help thinking that there are certain threats that just shouldn’t be made to a girl.
Thank you, Alice, and indeed, happy birthday to all our October girls – that’s Rike, Kaki and dd.
Did I miss anyone?
Oh and Paul! Who is of course not an October girl, but many happy returns anyhow.
And Alice, the only threat that shouldn’t be made is the one that never will be carried out.
Scarlet, you are confused.
Dev, you really shouldn’t listen to her. 
October girls are adorable and always behaved. Hey, I gave you cake, you should believe me!
Thanks to all well-wishers, I had a lovely birthday, although I thought yesterday it would be terrible.
Did the time zone clocks just disappear?
Happy Birthday, Rike! Here’s to a wonderful year ahead and many more to come!
Scarlet, Paul, Dev et al, I’m a September girl (to be precise an equinox girl!)! That is why BBH mistakenly feels a 2nd birthday spanking is due. He had to pursuade me to have a party. Strangely I love organising parties for him or the jnr members of the household, but when it comes to myself I am a tad wary.
dd, do you think BHH will agree to one spank for every two years? You may even end up with fewer spanks than Rike. Happy Birthday!
Paul, I hope your birthday is in every way special.
Kaki, did you get a second birthday spanking?
Paul, thanks for the hugs, many times over back to you.
Congrats, Dev! A Chrossing AGAIN! That makes it three times in three weeks.
Mindy, I guess the three times over mark means all spankings suspended for three weeks!
Congrats, Dev!
Nope, don’t think that will sway him, Mindy, I think he likes the number too much!
Mindy, why should I get a second birthday spanking? I got one and as I mentioned before once a girl reaches a certain age it is a rather lengthy celebration.
^Scarlet, there is something about the crisp Autumn air that does something to a normally well behaved one.
I realize you wouldn’t understand since you are so naughty but trust me. 
^
I forgot,
Congratulations, Dev for being Chrossed again. 
dd, only three weeks? How about three months? That should cover all birthday and naughty girl spankings till the end of the year. Phew!
Kaki, you had an extended birthday celebration; birthday wishes are still coming in days after. Since dd is getting TWO birthday spankings (one for the actual day and one for the delayed party), shouldn’t that apply to you too?
Oh, if Charley spanks you at a faster rate, your spanking may not last as long.
Mindy, is that a new rule? Every time someone wishes you a belated happy birthday
you have to get a birthday spanking all over? 
I think I will keep my mouth shut next year. 
dd, I hope you have a great party.
No, Kaki. Only if the birthday wishes/gifts/cakes keep coming in days after the event.
Please don’t keep silent. I like wishing others happy birthday.
Congrats on another Chrossing, Dev. I hope all the birthday girls (and boy) have a wonderful week–I always believe just one birthday day is too short. There’s always another lunch or dinner that has to be squeezed in. So dd, have bbh spank you every day for a week and then there’s an end to it.
Of course, that’s just daily life in Kaki’s house.
Rike, was the party you were cleaning up for your birthday party? I hope you had a marvelous time, and that the house was sparkly clean. It’s good to entertain from time to time, I think. It forces you to sweep in the corners and polish the silver.
Scarlet,
Hi! Sorry I’m late. i just got home from work.
dd, I’ve made note of your actual birthday, but stretching it out for two or three weeks isn’t too bad, is it? Like Scarlet said, just that much more loving attention.
Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes on the Chrossing. I’m always most gratified when that happens. Not that I have a dearth of validation from you guys anyway, but that little extra is a nice boost.
Rike, I don’t know what happened to the world clock. I had meant to move it anyway to make room for those audio posts but hadn’t got that far yet. Maybe it heard me thinking and got mad and left.
But Mindy, what’s all this nonsense about a three week lapse in spanking, let alone three MONTHS? I think you’ve been working too hard and getting delusional, young lady.
Dev, congratulations for the Chrossing. I rather liked the clock, otherwise I am completely confused over your American’s strange times.
Scarlet, the house was clean. And then my best friends got ill (flu, I think), and then the planned party was cancelled.
But we invited the family of my bf, and the evening turned out okay. 
And of course one day isn’t enough to celebrate a birthday, thanks for the reminder.
Rike, you’re probably seven hours ahead of Dev. If it’s 9am your time, it’s 2 am Dev’s time.
Thanks, Mindy. As long as the clock was there, I just looked it up, but I didn’t remember the difference.
Dev and company,
thanks everyone, my birthday was last week.
I happy not to be a candidate for birthday spankings as mine would be long and no doubt painful, just like some here who will remain anonymous,
Kaki, belated greetings, this comes without attached spanking.
Warm
Paul.
Thank you,Paul and happy belated birthday to you
. I suppose I am one of the ones remaining anonymous. I forgot our birthday are close, well the month and day anyway. I hope you had wonderful day. 
The times came back!!
Wait, isn’t it an hour later in Pensacola? Or does Pensacola have its own little time one, like Indiana?
If it is correct, as it is, Mindy is right and I am seven hours ahead.
I thought the same thing, Scarlet way back when. Dev said Pensacola is Central not Eastern time.
I think the clock doesn’t quite take into account daylight savings. It’s actually one hour later here.
Rike, there will be a week (from 30 October) that the time difference between you and Dev changes because of daylight savings. Yup, it gets confusing then.
Yes, Pensacola is Central Time, soon to be Central Daylight Time. It must have been an hour off all the while, because I had to fix it when I reinstalled.
So yours if wrong too, Mindy? Of course, since you’re still on wintertime time, and we’re just getting ready to go there. Let me know when it switches back.
When GMT goes into Daylight Saving I don’t have to fix anything.
But I think SOMEBODY needs to get spanked for all this confusion and befustlement. Yes, I do. :waits:
Scarlet will be right along to take that spanking, Dev. She’s very happy to!
Rike, sorry I missed your birthday. Belated birthday greetings!
Well Dev, looks like Em showed up just in the nick of time. I would be happy to offer my services but alas I am told it is time for bed. Maybe next time.
Hmph! It looks like you girls are still pretty good at volunteering someone else.
I’m not so sure you really are headed that way, Kaki, but I am indeed off to bed.
Night, all.
Er, isn’t the time in Germany one hour later than what’s shown on the world clock? Likewise with the time in Sydney.
Dev, I’m sure you know none of us would volunteer ourselves to be spanked. We’re too busy driving and dodging buses.
The clock settings say Sydney is GMT plus 10 hours, then I clicked Daylight Savings to add another hour. Berlin is GMT plus 1, no Daylight Savings. But now I think about it, the whole clock must be wrong because it says Pensacola is GMT minus 5, when I know for sure it’s minus 6, and it’s showing the correct current time. Should we just get rid of the clock?
And I’m sure you’re right about the volunteer situation. It certainly would be a rare occurrence.
Dev, does the world clock widget take it’s reference from the time on the blite? If the time of the blite is set to GMT, that would explain the anomaly.
Yes it does, Mindy, and thanks for figuring it out. However, Pensacola is right. The other two are off by an hour, and should be an hour later.
This is because GMT went to Daylight Savings time today and the US didn’t. So until next Sunday when the US changes time, everyone just add an hour to both Sydney and Germany and it will be right. And then bring me a beer.
Dev, Daylight Savings is when GMT moves forward in March. We don’t go back to GMT until next Sunday morning. Thought for a minute I’d missed something there, it has been known :( I could have used the extra lie in this morning because I went to bed very, very late! Yes, I had a great party
Okay, then I’m completely confused, and according to Mindy, the two non-US clocks are still wrong by an hour. I thought I knew why but obviously I don’t, so just add an hour to Germany and an hour to Sydney until I figure out how to fix this.
And where’s that beer I asked for, anyway?
Thanks, Em.
Dev, pleease don’t remove the clocks. I really like them, especially now with the daylight savings and all. However, Germany is wrong by an hour on your clock. However, next weekend we turn to winter time and then it’s going to be right.
I think. Or the other way round.
Whatever.
Oh, Dev:
Am I not nice?
Ah! Finally! Thank you, Rike. Very nice.
I’ll leave the clocks, aggravating as they are. Mindy helped me figure out that there’s a glitch, and you have to add an hour to Germany and Sydney both. We’re hoping that eventually it will sort itself out. I’ll let you know if and when it does.
I think it’s helpful to know what the time sort of is–whether it’s nine a.m. or ten a.m. in Sydney isn’t as important as knowing that it’s morning for Mindy–so even if they’re a little off, they work for me! Here’s your beer, Dev. Are you sure you should be drinking in the morning?
You’re right, Scarlet. Just a general idea of the time works. And thanks, but I’ll put the beer in the fridge with Rike’s for later.
^
Girls, if we get Dev drunk then we can have lots of fun moving things around, he will think it is just because he had a few. Maybe even throw in a trick or two 
^
I thought the same thing, as long as I am within an hour or two of Mindy I am all right. I wasn’t sure of Rike’s but figure it has to be close to Alice and dd.
It isn’t that I’ve never had beer for breakfast, only not today, Kaki. But don’t be telling me no, young lady. That isn’t very smart.
Rike is an hour later than the English girls, but that makes little odds unless you’re giving someone a bedtime, which I assume you are not.
You know what they say when you assume.
Sure you were, Kaki. And I do know what ‘they’ say, but in most cases ‘they’ are wrong anyhow.
It looks like Dev has plenty of beer, and you know how I feel about that particular beverage anyway, so I’ll just leave a nice mug of
instead.
Oh, and Dev? Getting drunk on beer first thing in the morning is simply not done. Especially not on a work day. Is that clear?
^Kaki, I didn’t say “no” so that’s OK, right?
^
I agree with Scarlet, having a rough idea is better than none.
Beer for breakfast is ick, unless of course you are living in medieval times when it was the norm. Tea is far more civilised. So Dev, I am glad you didn’t pour beer on your cereal. I have known it to happen but only with teenage boys.
Of course, having the GMT time back would allow me to time bedtimes to perfection, but I do have a kitchen clock which is radio linked to Greenwich and thus have no excuse (it is fab, when the clocks change and it resets itself, of course I am never there to seee it!).
Maybe some beer batter french toast? Never tried it, and I’m not sure I want to.
Scarlet, beer batter French toast!! Double ick!Although beer batter is very goood for fish, but not at breakfast, yuk!
Scarlet, apparently someone thought it sounded like a good idea, but I still don’t find it very appetizing.
These beer batter crepes got good reviews, though.
Hmm, I tried posting a link to a photo of beer battered french toast, but the blite is moderating it.
Are there swear words in it, Em? First you take the ###@**&^ bottle of beer and pour it in the %$#&I bowl with some **&@! eggs…
Well, well, well, Em. Not even November and you’re already skating on thin ice. And if that message isn’t clear, it is NOT okay to order me around either, missy. :waits:
I can’t imagine beer on cereal either, dd, but I was thinking of the line in the Kris Kristofferson song – The beer I had for breakfast tasted good, So I had another for dessert.
Beer battered cod is good, and I’ll go release the beer battered french toast from holding in a moment – but that was pretty funny, Scarlet.
Assuming it’s not true, that is.
Okay, we have the french toast now. But did they pour beer FOAM on it? And what’s that blue and yellow glop next to it? And WHY are enormous square plates all of a sudden de rigeur?
Dev, don’t you think Scarlet’s comment would be funnier if we substiture the ###@**&^ symbols and use real swear words.
How about beer can chicken on the grill?
Dev, the foam is maple foam and blueberry ice cream is the blue and white glop. Who has ice cream with french toast?
The beer can WHAT on the grill? I always thought of beer as a very brave beverage, myself.
And NO, in answer to your first question, young lady. :waits:
Yeah? And in which months of the year do maple trees foam, pray tell?
But yanno, that did look like ice cream when I first saw it, but then I said, Nah! Who has ice cream with french toast? Especially BEER french toast? Are there too many cooking shows on TV?
Here ya go, Dev, beer can chicken. I’ve heard it is very good, the beer makes it moist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6R2IzDI10
Yes, I know beer can do lots of things, especially add its moisture hither and yon, but saying that it can chicken is quite unseemly.
And I couldn’t see the video. I was told to come back later. Maybe the beer is working up more courage.
With enough beer I bet you can do the chicken dance.
I know it is late before you say it first.
Goodnight, Dev.
I have made the beer can chicken on the grill. You take a whole chicken, and you insert a can of beer into its nether regions, and then you stand it up on the grill and let it cook away. The beer starts to boil and it’s kind of like a beer enema for the chicken, I’m afraid,
but it’s a very flavorful chicken when it’s done.
I think it’s more of a fun cooking trick to entertain friends at your barbecue though–I can make better roasted chicken inside in the oven.
^ I just by a roast chicken
at BJ’s Wholesale or the supermarket, they are yummy and I don’t have to wash a greasy pan. 
WHAT? Well, that isn’t the silliest thing I ever heard of, but it’s in the top 10.
Thanks for telling us, Scarlet, and Kaki, stop picking on Scarlet when she really is trying to be helpful. :waits:
Dev, Kaki may have a point. I may have used either of those terms, but probably not associated with a chicken. Which tells me that your influence may be expanding.
Perhaps we need a new cooking show on the Food Network. It can be sponsored by TNP (of course), and instead of the judges voting a contestant off the show for serving an entree underdone, or with the wrong spices, the chef will get a spanking from the judging panel.
I think it may be a *hit*.
Well I have just watched the beer can chicken and it is the funniest thing ever. It’s like a cross between a butt plug and enema for chickens. Poor chicken
Mind you a barbeque that took two hours over here would be a bit dicey, it would probably have started raining by then.
Alice, butt plug chicken!
Two hours to bake a chicken? I’m with Kaki. I’ll just buy the roast chicken from Coles Supermarket. Cheap, delicious and no mess.
Alice,
. 
In that case, it’s gratifying to know my efforts are not wasted, and that I do have an impact on people, Scarlet. As far as your cooking show, I would watch – maybe even buy commercial time.
As to butt plug chicken, I don’t have an outdoor grill, and I also prefer the ones you get at the grocery anyhow.
It is very quiet here. Where is everyone?
Oh, hi, Dev! Just missed you there. But I have to get to work now.
Yep, and in fact I was away overnight. Back now and there’s a post scheduled to go on in a couple of hours, and that might liven things up around here.
Dev, a couple of hours from when? Sheesh, am I missing the time stamps, even if they did indicate bedtime was encroaching.
If Scarlet’s poor butt plugged and enema-ed (?) chicken is going out live, it would have to be on a spanking channel where Dev’s commercial breaks would be perfectly respectable.
Scarlet, are you and I the only ones who roast chickens from scratch around here? I try to do a roast meal about once a week, in colder weather, because BBH appreciates it, the children love it and I enjoy preparing it from scratch and the whole house filling up with the gradual smell of a good meal.
Me too, dd. I don’t do it quite as often now, and not on a barbeque, but yes a roast dinner is definitely a family favourite.
Sorry, girls. The post will in fact go up after your bedtime, but you’ll be the first in England to see it in the morning.
I don’t roast much except veggies and the occasional leg o’ lamb, but I agree that the aroma is definitely a high point of the process.
