In many ways, Brexit being delayed to 31 January is both an opportunity and unnerving. Autumn is the time of year when I send the Beaker Folk out to clear out the ditches. And the thought of finding Boris Johnson in one is definitely unnerving.
On the bright side, the delay means I can release the Brexit Stockpile we've been building in the cellar as a provision against No-Deal. Good news for my brother, who lives down there with his guardian, Mrs Rochester. As it means he will get back his space for running around screaming.
And also good news, as we will now be able to serve up all the low-cost, high-energy, long-life food we've been storing down there.
So the menu for each meal, every day in November, will be baked beans and rice.
And in December, rice and baked beans.
Beaker Folk will be glad to hear that we're moving all services outside until Yule.
Want to support this blog? Want a good laugh? (or to shudder at death at any rate? Then here's two ways you can keep the Archdruid in doilies...
If you want someone to share the terrors of death while making you laugh, we have "A Hint of Death in the Morning Air" - 97 poems to make you wonder, laugh or shake your head sadly. At only £1 on Kindle. Or if you want to know what the people in the pews really think, and you prefer your words printed on paper, why not try "Writes of the Church"? The letters to the Church magazine the vicar really didn't need.
At least the 200 toilet rolls I've stockpiled will keep. The new date is 31st January - but which year I wonder?
