Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

Glad you're feeling better, O Speichy one!

White merlot *glu glu glug*
A cheese straw that got left from last night
And can I interest you in some chorizo and Manchego? they go very nicely with wine. Or I have some roast lamb left if you fancy a bit? It's not got cold yet.
*pours glass of Burgundy*

 

[TheDoctor]

May I have some more sausage rolls and cheese straws please, and white Merlot. Since about 3pm this afternoon, I feel as if I am beginning to return to normal.

* Goes to cupboard to find secret supplies of cheese straws *

OOOps forgot to tidy up last night. There was an altercation in the cupboard last night involving Alecstilleyedye and myself and Mrs Alecstilleyedye. That followed a discussion about the "chocolate man".

What was all that about? Should I go off in search, or am I better off not knowing?

*nips off*
*comes back*

Didn't realise you made a habit of hiding in cupboards!
I'll check carefully before entering any.

Look on the bright side, oh no don't on second thoughts, the Moomins are used to almost total darkness at this time of the year.

Noooooo, they should be asleep with their tummies full of pine needles.

[TheDoctor]

*sends chip buttie by air mail*

You have no idea how difficult it is to acquire chips at 9 in the morning!!

 

[Keith Oates]

Thanks for the effort, I'll really enjoy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheDoctor]

I take it chips are hard to come by in Yangzhou, then?
*googles Yangzhou*
*sees wikipedia article*
*checks local highlights*
Yangzhou picles, ginkgo trees, jadeware, fried rice and not chips.
It looks nice in the pictures though.
I must go to China sometime - the closest I've got was Hong kong.

Speicher,

Would you favour your walnut bread toast thickly cut and slathered with Welsh Salty Butter - the kind that's so salty you can see the salt crystals shimmering in it and NOT repeat NOT some horrid euphamism thankyou, Doctor; and served with a delicate Ceylon?

or, if you prefer it French fashion, I could slice it melba thin and you could enjoy your toast with a selection of local cheeses and maybe a glass of Campbell's Rutherglen Muscat. Very warming this time of year....

*realises is probably fair comment. resolves to drag self out of gutter*
