Tea? (Part 1)

[Arch]

Afternoon all!

Hows about we take Waffles the Swarfega, clingfilm and celery as 3 gifts like the wise Maji? I reckon that'd go down well at the Big Shrew Bar-B-Que™

For goodness' sake, if you take that lot to Waffles, don't have an accident on the way:

"Police attending the scene found the man's pannier contained Swarfega, clingfilm and celery and admit to being baffled. A spokesman said "We're baffled, and no mistake". Investigations are continuing."

Glad you found the camera Doc, kitchen drawers are always worth a look in, as they tend to contain all sorts of odds and ends. Balls of string, old cake frills, and a potato masher which *always* ends up getting jammed under the frame of the drawer so you can't open it.

Congratulations on the spuds Waffles. When I was little, we tried to grow carrots and produced a result so small the guinea pig turned her nose up and would only eat the green tops... But you have been Earth Mother for ages, what with all the eggs, surely?

 

[Amanda P]

Phew. Thank goodness someone broke that embarassing silence after the pussy business...

Welcome back, Arch. Tea?

Did you find the mudguard widget? The envelope got a bit damp. You might have heard that there was some moistness in York over the weekend.

Oh! Er, no, I didn't find it, I guessed maybe you hadn't found it, or hadn't had time to pop by. I'll have a look around when I get home, maybe it got knocked off the post table onto the floor or something...

I assumed it might have been moist - it was moist in Winchester and in London on Saturday. Tye London moistness was reserved for the exact portion of time I spent walking between Euston and Kings Cross, conveniently! It's been moist for most of today here too... At this rate, the Ouse'll be all over the place!

Are we going to have a summer this year or has it been cancelled due to the credit crunch or something?

 

[TheDoctor]

My part of the world has had a tendency towards the damp of late. Got soaked on the way to work...

 

[Arch]

I know, at this rate the whole country wil go mouldy! "This green and furry land", it'll be..

 

[TheDoctor]

Huzza for the horse spittal fixing the broken bits of Mr Waffles!

 

[Landslide]

Evening all.

Distinctly damp here this morning, but it's dried up nicely for now.
I'm currently basking in the happy glow of new bike ownership - I got one of those folders from Morrisons! Hope it turns out alright, I think I may add a few upgrades from my spares box...

My tame farmers are all frantically spraying their potatoes to stop them going green and furry. (That's the potatoes being stopped from going green and furry... not the farmers).

That's when it stops raining for long enough for them to get out, and when the fields are dry enough to actually drive a tractor on. The usual jokes about growing rice are being run out again.

Stand by for pricier chips this year.

 

[Amanda P]

A Morrison's folder. What's it like? And which one of the more reasons was it?

 

[Landslide]

Dunno yet. Comes with a bag, alloy rims and v-brakes.
Reason? I'll be spending 3 days a week working in London (hawk, spit) and don't want to be reliant on the tube. I reckon 12 days not taking the tube'll be roughly equal to the purchase price.

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmm. I could maybe do with a folder...

 

[Amanda P]

We've got one. It doesn't get all that much use, but there are times when nothing else will do.

I particularly like to take it when I'm travelling to conferences. Being able to get away from all the talk and air-conditioned carpeted spaces for an hour or two, and go where you like without having to work out bus routes, languages or taxis is marvellous.

It's always fun to unpack a Brompton in a hotel lobby and ride it away. Raises eyebrows no end.

 

[Landslide]

I didn't think I could go that far wrong for £60. Hopefully I'll not be proved wrong.

 

[Amanda P]

£60?

That's raised my eyebrows no end.

What does it weigh?

 

[Dayvo]

I didn't think I could go that far wrong for £60. Hopefully I'll not be proved wrong.

Sounds like a good bye to £60!
