Podgy Poyntz
Quote of the moment:
"Sorry guys, the boiler won't light and I can't get a plumber til Monday." - Pete the bodger (handyman).
All washing up today had to be done with cold water (though the dishwashers did manage to heat their own water). It was great, really. Lots and lots of scrubbing of anything remotely sticky. At least lunch was a slight recompense: rack of lamb with yorkshire puddings, potato dauphinoise and leeks, plus some roast spuds just because they're awesome. When I returned home I had pot-roast beef with mashed potato, carrots and parsnips. What a handy coincidence that my belly is ample enough to accomodate both!
Amazon has bought a small-batch book publishing firm, so people can send their books as a document to be published and sent to them. Handy for Podgy's first novel or poetry anthology.
Having googled Poyntz to see if I came up anywhere prominent (I didn't) I discovered the following:
The Poyntz Arms - My pub, which I'll have to visit some time.
Poyntz Pass - My Irish estate, complete with my ruined castle.
Sydenham Poyntz - My mercenary ancestor.
Family history - of interest to Podgy (and probably only Podgy) again.
