Soft Southern Jessies

[poliphilo]

The power was off yesterday afternoon and evening. Wendy lent us a single ring butane gas camping stove. Cooking on it by candlelight was fun.

The power returned at 1.00am- and I got up and switched the dishwasher on.

The electricity company had a note on its website yesterday which said (in effect) "We're far too busy mending things to give you information on how we're doing."

I dreamed I was Sir Gawain (looking a bit like a young Sean Bean)- and was being questioned about myself by Sir Lancelot- who was an attractive non-binary person with long black hair. I told them I was from the north- from a place near Newcastle- and I'd come down to Arthur's court to measure my prowess against that of his knights- who I described as a bunch of "soft southern Jessies."

The weather continues wet and windy.

'Soft southern jessies' is a right Cheshire phrase or saying.

Around here it tends to be 'nellies'.

I think we called them "jessies" in Manchester.

I've no idea if it's a word the people of Newcastle use- but then I don't hold myself accountable for the accuracy of the language my avatars use in dreams. :)

Wish I could peek in and have gander at your Lancelot. XD

And I could wish I'd been able to spend longer in their company. It was a pleasant dream. There was a lot more to it, I think, but that's all I've been able to hang on to...

Shame sometimes that we must awaken.

Also a shame that we remember so little.
