Tea? (Part 1)

[tdr1nka]

Just got back and settled after taking our youth group ice skating at the Linolium Dome. Cycled there & back plus the skating, my legs are alll sore and fidgety now.
Where is everyone?
Tea up!

[tdr1nka]

How the weather with you BJB? Any more snow?
And what breed is your lovely dog?

 

[Blue]

Ta very much.

Just been out power walking with Mrs Blue and needed a cuppa

 

[Speicher]

Where did you find that Avatar tdr1nka? I had to look very closely to see the curtains. Are there any matching cups?

 

[tdr1nka]

We are a busy and active lot ain't we!

More tea in pot.

 

[Speicher]

I am trying to be busy and active. Lots of tea helps tho'.
and biskits.

 

[tdr1nka]

Avatar was got from a website selling teapots, I shall try and dig it out for you.
As far as I know there wasn't a full service to match this pot, sadly.
Hows the back today? I was thinking of you yesterday, with it being Muvva's day and how you've been feeling toward 'family' lately. Are things any better?

Well, it was not a good day yesterday. I had hoped that "family" issues would improve, now I realise that it is not possible. Just wish I had realised that some time ago, and not tried so hard, and wasted so much energy and time.

In the early days of this thread, I managed to find (by accident ) a teapot in the shape of a Cycling Shop. I told LOTP about it, and I think he would have liked one, but they were discontinued, but still shown on the web-site.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Spiecher, but please do give yourself enourmous credit for having tried.
If you hadn't you would only feel less secure in your thinking which IMHO is by far the more unsettling. Try not to dwell on it.
My eldest daughter has similar problems with her Mother(my longtime and very distanced ex)and I am having to get her thru the whole, 'sometimes parents will never be the people we'd like them to be' scenario and trying to coach her on avoiding putting herself in positions where she almost asks to be dissapointed.

It's sh*te sometimes, have more tea and some jammie dodgers!
I'm orf 't bed as I have to be up @ 7 to get Ms tdr1nka to school.
I hope everything feels better soon,

TTFN Tx

It snowed off and on for the best part of the day tdr1nka. Now there is a freeze on. The dog (Kati) is a Finnish Spitz. I took her a walk around the local golf course earlier this evening. It is covered in a thick layer of snow and you could see where you are going despite the dark.

Nice avatar BTW. Very appropriate

Why thank you BJB!
A beautiful hound Sir, what a cutie. Have you trained her to poo in any one
of the 18 holes provided?

Go easy on the roads if you're out there in the morning BJB!!!!

Hi Speicher *hugs*, I've only just seen this. You can't know ahead of time that things won't work out, and I think it's always worth making the effort. But there does come a time when you have to cut your losses and move on. It's been about 18 years or so since I saw my mum, and I can honestly say I'd be happy if I never saw her (or her new partner) again. Equally, I didn't see my dad at all from about 12 or so till I was 18, and now we see each other quite often, or as often as you can when you live about 250 miles apart. It's difficult. You choose your friends, but you're stuck with family. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about this quietly.

Ahem. You've mentioned a cycle show of some sort in Edinburgh. Do you have a link, or some dates? It would make a long, but feasible day out for me, and it would be nice to meet up if possible. Bringing the mother of all teapots could be tricky, but a major percentage of the world biskit population should be doable.

Kettle's on!

 

[trustysteed]

Kettle's on!

about bloody time, i've been here 45 mins!

You're a big boy, I'm sure you know how to work a kettle!
