Tea? (Part 1)

[spandex]

you do know that if you leave them they will go on there own.

 

[Sittingduck]

Yes but you dont know where they'll go or lurk!
Anyway this thread is about tea I think - kettle's on

 

[Speicher]

Tea, yes and a custard cream please.

 

[Sittingduck]

here c[_] and *hands Speicher a new pack of custard creams* I'm off to have nightmares about arachnids!

 

[Speicher]

I was having nightmares this afternoon (tired cos of my cold) about not being able to find the right box of chocolates. I was given a free sample of Lily O'Briens chocs, and they are very very scrummy . BTW tdr1nka, they are from Ireland.

Tescos currently have them on special offer, but I could not find them, nor could the staff, in my nightmare.

Good night, moff to bed shortly.

Can't help it when it comes to our 8 legged friends.

I feel your pain my friend. I know no shame when it comes to fear of...them.

Baggy deals with ours. If I lived alone I'd need a shotgun.

 

[Night Train]

I just heard tonight that a friend and client of mine died yesterday. She was a really lovely woman. She had been fighting cancer for a while and seemed to be on the mend. She collapsed after she went out shopping and didn't recover.

Condolences, Night Train.

Righty-ho. The humans are fed & watered. Felines fed & watered. Hens fed, watered, henhouse cleaned of overnight 'deposits' and two big eggs collected (one from each hen). In the local pet supplies store, where I get the hen food, straw & wood chips, there's an old guy working who always asks how the hens are getting on. He used to keep hens years ago and tells me tales of those days. As I needed to top up supplies yesterday, I took him along some of The Laydeez's finest offerings. He wasn't there, but will be in today - the eggs are in the shop fridge for him. I hope he enjoys them!

Girls do this! (turning up the heating I mean) May I suggest wooly socks or an extra layer instead of caning fossil fuels via your Gas consumption

Oi! Not this girl. This girl gets into bed after she's had her dinner, and stays there to keep warm. During the day when she has to sit at the table to work, she wears 4 long sleeved layers and thick socks, and has a little fan heater under the table on a low setting to occasionally blast her feet with hot air.

Chuffy, have you considerd the damage you'd do, trying to fire a shotgun as a spider?

If I feel I have to get rid of one, I use the old glass and a postcard trick, and chuck it out of the window (The spider, not the postcard or the glass)

Tea anyone? I'm waiting for a friend to come in so we can set up some teaching stuff for Friday, then I'm off to work to do some final proof reading on Issue 32. I don't know who's on the cover this time, not me I'm sure. Although the boss did take me outside last week and take some close up photos of my chest.

(I was modelling a courier bag, and he wanted a shot of the strap fixing... I hasten to add, I had three layers and my coat on)

Sorry to hear your bad news NT.

The dotty old British in India had small shotguns they used for shooting dragonflies, about pistol size .22 smoothbore. Would one of those deal with a spider?

 

[spandex]

Sorry to hear that Night train

Our dog eats spiders.

I don't like big spiders much, but I like the thought of eating them even less.

Anyway (changing the subject rapidly), tea, anyone?

 

[Night Train]

Thank you, I have a funeral to go to on Monday now and I am tired out.

Sitting in College with my brew.

 

[Sittingduck]

I'll take a cuppa if there's one going spare.

I also promise to be nice to our 8 legged cousins... maybe

Well played Arch on the multiple layers thing!
