Lang may yer lum reek! (and appreciation!)

[Guest guest]

Jo,

Lang (long) may yer (your) Lum (Chimney) reek (smell)! I think it originated

when there wasn't much fuel about so that if your chimney smelled it must be

alight and therefore you were doing okay!

I know I don't post much but it is so good to know there are others in the

same boat and that I am not the only one who has run ins with the docs! My

research into Music as a complementary analgesic continues - I read an

article yesterday that said " Pain is whatever the experiencing person says

it is, existing whenever he says it does. " (Melzack & Wall (1982) The

Challenge of Pain) Okay so why have I got a sore head from banging it on the

proverbial brick wall?

In a jovial mood today!

Love from the snowy North East where we know how to celebrate Hogmanay!
