Tea? (Part 1)

[tdr1nka]

I haven't put the kettle on.

It doesn't suit me.

You can be so silly Speicher, the kettle looks lovely on.
Get a handle on yourself and don't spout such nonsense.

TEA UP!!

*feels desert-like wind and it hit in the face by a stray tumbleweed*

I'm sure I heard someone say, "Tea-up"

Yes, it's terribly quiet, isn't it? I blame TheDoctor for going away.

I spent a nice couple of hours on the allotment on Saturday, did a bit of digging over, some pruning of brambles and pond plants and planted out some cotoneaster seedlings my Mum brought up a couple of years ago and which had survived neglected in small pots.

I also watched some great tits.

There was a gang of about 5 of them, flitting from tree to tree, chirping at each other. Lovely they were, all in their fresh spring plumage, looking very smart.

Then I went to my friends' house to deliver a 'congratulations on your engagement' card, and a knitted gnome, and they supplied me with a cup of tea so big I could have swum in it!

 

[mr Mag00]

green tea here, any takers?
the pot's on the table with purple cosy on !!

 

[tdr1nka]

TY mr Mag00,

We've run out of milk here at the towers, green tea will make a pleasant diversion from the norm.

BTW has anyone seen Norm recently?

*boggles at cup of tea so big one could swim in it!
Imagines tea? posters doing a synchronised display a la Esther Williams*

 

[mr Mag00]

a cup that big?
do you think they could get the pg monkies to do it, the 'knitted one' would shrink would it not?

 

[tdr1nka]

Cue neoprene PG monkies!!

I may exaggerate slightly. But it was huge, I had to use two hands to lift it! Capacity of two mugs, I reckon.

But I like the synchronised swimming idea!

I wish I had thought to take a photo of the teacups at the Tea shop in Upton on Severn. They were at least 10 inches across. I will enquire about the teapot from the same set. (if I go there again).

I am going swimming this afternoon, but not in a tea cup.

Can someone wave a magic wand this afternoon. I have tried to contact seven people today about various things to do with getting the renovations of this house finished. Please wave a magic wand so that they all return their call (I left messages) either today or tomorrow.
That would be wonderful. Then you can wave a magic wand so that they turn up when they say they will. even if it is just to say yes they can do the job and it will cost x pounds and they can do it in May.

 

[Arch]

*doesn't have a wand*

*ponders*

*waves biro about like mad instead*

Hope that helps...

 

[mr Mag00]

surely with a magic wand u would just get the job done without need of said tradesmen?

 

[Speicher]

Well yes, why didn't I think of that.

Back now from swimming. Tonights dinner is in the oven, braised steak etc. So it is time for a cup of tea. I was swimming for half an hour this time, a few weeks ago, I could not do that much, so I must be improving.
Only one person has returned their call! one down, six to go.
I would do the work myself, but one job is to prune a very large, very tall tree, and the other one is to fix a staircase. Neither are jobs for "beginners" etc.

 

[Arch]

If you were clever, you could fell the tree into place and walk up the trunk instead of stairs? It would have to be an external staircase, I guess...
