Tea? (Part 1)

[Arch]

Well, Chuffy's having a barbie next weekend, and asked me to help with the supplies.

*winces under fierce glare*

Seriously, it's a surprise for you. Close your eyes, and reach in the bag here. Let me guide your hand there. Can you feel its' little trunk?

Bloody agency still haven't heard back about my interview. *looks put out*
Not that I'm climbing the walls or anything.
*deploys grappling hooks, cargo nets jetpac etc*

Sorry to hear about your laptop there. How did you break it, or would I rather not know?

Tell you, I've got all sorts of unusual aches from building work. Anyone like to offer me a massage?

Would you like a massage? (not that I have any skill in that area, but I have got a half bottle of olive oil in the cupboard...)

Sorry, where do I put my hand? In here?

Oh! That's not how I thought a baby elephant's trunk would feel at all! Much too stiff. And so small...

Dunno what happened to the laptop, I was doing some photo editing and it started to go really slow, then wouldn't shut down, and now won't start up again. My mate says it might be a bios problem, whatever that is, and has recommended a shop to take it too for proper diagnosis. Bummer, I really don't have the money for a replacement just now, but he reckons it should be fixable, so fingers crossed.

BTW, I discovered the best way to eat a coffee truffle, over the weekend. You...

Actually, you might want to get the cold shower running now, ready...

You bite the chocolate coating off one side, and then, if you have cool fingers, you can take advantage of the fact that truffle filling melts a degree or so lower than the chocolate, and lick it out gradually, if your tongue is dextrous enough (can a tongue be dextrous? That's fingers really...). Anyway, eventually, you're left with an empty shell of chocolate, which is on the verge of melting the moment you put it in your mouth...

Well, I did warn you about having the shower running!

*arrives with small parcel for Arch*

I give you a clue, it is brown, elephant shaped, and tastes lovely.

oooh! A slice of mammoth-on-toast? How kind!

 

[Speicher]

oooh! A slice of mammoth-on-toast? How kind!

No, actually its Cote d'Or dark chocolate. Each square of choc has a picture of an elephant on it.

 

[Arch]

Forget the Cyclechat meetup, I think we ought to have a Tea? meet up. We need a location with comfy chairs, a really big teapot and lots of mugs, and access to a cold shower.

And our own subset of the Cyclechat jersey.

oh, yes, of course! mmmm, lovely. Thank you!

*subsides into happy heap in corner*

 

[tdr1nka]

Tea? meet sounds nice and civilised.
I shall of course be waving to The Doctor and Arch as I pass thru both St. Evenage and York on the train on my way to Durham on Wed.

*Passes hot tea to Waffles*

Waffles! Great to see you. New avatar?
*gazes admiringly*
*dribbles slightly*

Come over by the fire, and have some nice hot crumpets.
*puts warming arm around Waffles. The one that's not already around Arch*

It's good to see you both. *grins*

OOOh, that's nice & warming! Your hot crumpets are oozing nicely Doctor!

 

[TheDoctor]

*dribbles*
yes yes yes oh god yes
*gets grip*

I assure you, my tongue is highly dextrous, and capable of causing all sorts of things to melt. But. dear oh lord, that description. You should write a novel. Or porn. Maybe both.
*books one way ticket to York and orders 1000 coffee truffles*

*Eagerly accepts massage with olive oil. Or chain oil. Or lard.*

 

[TheDoctor]

*places home made flapjack on coffee table*

thought i ought to bring something to the party.

Hello and welcome. Have some tea.

I'm up for that. Definately has to be done.

 

[tdr1nka]

Welcome back to this dimension Doctor.
May I remind you that this is the 'Tea' thread and not necessarily for big smoothies

[TheDoctor]

OOOh, that's nice & warming! Your hot crumpets are oozing nicely Doctor!

They're not the only things.

*gazes adoringly at assembled throng*

 

[TheDoctor]

And hello to you too! I've got some smoothie in the fridge if anyone would like some? Mango and passionfruit, it is. 'Snice, and very good for you. Full of vitamins and, erm, things.

Thankyou. I thought my description of the problem with my laptop was quite concise and accurate, yes...

Sadly, if I wrote a novel in which I described my heroine's eating habits in that sort of detail, I'd get carried away and I suspect my heroine would have to be a 50 stone lardbucket to account for it all, and that might just take the edge off her attractiveness?

Right, I'll just get the Olive oil.

*gets olive oil out of cupboard*

*notices tin of tuna, tomatoes, olives, spaghetti*

*realises is peckish*

*gets sidetracked cooking supper*

*serves up and takes to table*

Doctor! Why are you lying on the table with a towel over your bottom?

Oh!

*remembers*

Sorry..... Um. Would you like some of my tuna and olive spaghetti?

 

[TheDoctor]

Smells lovely Arch. Just let me have a little nibble, if you would.
