Tea? (Part 1)

[Arch]

Congas? Do you mean bongoes? I thought a conga was a long line of drunk people dancing...

 

[tdr1nka]

That's a conga line.

This is a conga drum, or urban alarm call.

 

[Arch]

Well, you learn somethig new every day.... Cheers!

I should go home. I really should be having a clear out of the flat. My excuse is that it's good exercise walking up to campus.

 

[tdr1nka]

I'm in the middle of a big clear out too, I've gained about four square feet of floor this week.

Then I must go home and do the same. Or not. maybe I'll play Sim city all afternoon....

Have to get some shopping as I pass Morrisons, so I might succumb to a cheap sushi temptation.

 

[tdr1nka]

I had a T*sco 'yellow label' sushi lunch on Thursday!

I've got to go thru a whole crate of old music cassettes and decide what I should keep.
Why do I have so much junk?

It's not junk, it's a carefully accumulated collection of old possessions.

I've got the same. I've been mentally sorting it for months (have I read that book in three years? no. Ditch it), now I just have to do the actual getting rid. And there's reams of PhD notes that can be dumped/recycled.

Esp as I hope to have another bike in the flat in the next week or so...

 

[tdr1nka]

Aha, more garage space, I understand.

It's a little disquietening but there are only two bikes in the flat these days, the tandem and 'The Sentinel'.

 

[rikki]

Those conga (drums) don't look very portable.

 

[tdr1nka]

He only had the one drum which is sort of portable if not rather bulky to carry.

Although annoyed at having been woken in this manner I had to reflect and remind myself that this was a nicer awakening than some previous local disturbances such as domestic disputes, dog fighting, fireworks and gun shots(live rounds).

Tea?

 

[Landslide]

Landers, are you still working in That London a couple of days a week?
It's been a while, and I've got a few bikes left...

Aye, I am. Another trip to the palace of noodly delights? We should get Radius out too before he disappears to university...

 

[tdr1nka]

And I should get out more too!

Hows the house type thingies Landers?

*Makes fresh pot of tea*

 

[Landslide]

We've an offer under consideration, but the vendors are dragging their feet somewhat.

Any hot water left? I'm on the hot blackcurrant, bleurgh...

 

[tdr1nka]

*pushes kettle toward Landers using broom handle*

So the house is at the 'sit and twiddle your thumbs' stage?
I have fingers crossed for you.

Another friend of mine and his GF have just spent/got a mortgage for *gulp* £845,000!

It's a huge house and very lovely, lots of work to do yet. Can't tell if I'm seriously jealous or relieved I don't have the pressure of such a huge investment.

 

[Landslide]

Yikes! I'm treating the whole process as an exercise in made-up-money, but that's just fantasy, surely?
