Tea? (Part 1)

[longers]

Hmmm

That's what I thought.

Hurrah for best mates

I've been excommunicated for having the audacity to not be able to afford to attend a friends 30th a few years back. Shame - he was a good mate .

Oh good God that's seriously petty, sorry to hear that Longers!

My best friend and I have known each other since I was 3 and he was 5!
36 bloody years!! Our Mums have been best friends since going to Drama school in the 50's!

My problem is that I'll be in Ireland, again, with Miss tdr1nka on the day of the wedding.
It's perfectly feasible for me to fly back for the day but it is a 6 hour round trip to get me to the airport and another 6 to get me back!

I'm looking into local buses at the mo. so all might not be lost! Hurrah!!

Tea!

 

[longers]

It's his loss

We used to do some good cycling together and a hell of a lot of nattering.
He's big in the city now, with a new family so his loss might not be that great actually

Hope things work out one way or the other for you though.

*Potters in, puts on the kettle, wonders what time the electricity person will turn up to fix the meter*

*Decides kettle doesn't suit, takes it off and uses it to make tea*

 

[tdr1nka]

Right, time for tea and a late spring clean of tdr1nka towers, we are open to the public for the season and the portraits etc. need a good dusting!

 

[TheDoctor]

I just hope the admission fee isn't too steep. If it is I'm keeping my SPDs.
So there!

 

[tdr1nka]

I pay for the privilege of living at the Towers.
As long as it is open to the public for 4 weekends a year, admission is free.

The Laydeez have been out in the garden this afternoon. It's a bit blowy out there...

Not their most genteel pose

 

[TheDoctor]

It's a bit unfair of you to take their photo in such a position!
That's not very saintly of you at all.

 

[wafflycat]

I know.. but it is the usual view I have of The Laydeez when they are free-ranging in the garden!

 

[tdr1nka]

It's like a fowl version of the Can-Can.

 

[Speicher]

Tdr1nka, I am in need of your experteas in Tea making.

There will be television crew in my mother's street later this week. We are wondering what sort of tea they will prefer?

 

[marinyork]

Tescos tea was the first tescos brand product apparently. I didn't know that (reading Tescopoly). Anyone for tea?

 

[tdr1nka]

I would be surprised if they didn't arrive with their own tea making faciliteas. Do you know what they are filming and for how long?
Otherwise expect a mixed(tea)bag of needs.
Crew, techs and drivers will have anything akin to 'Builders' tea but also expect to dispense coffee.
Directors and production staff will probably prefer coffee but a regular strong tea, not too orange, will suffice.
And if there are actors, herbal, red bush, earl grey, camomile, jasmine are useful to have around.

All told you are best leaving out an urn, cups, tea ba*gs, milk and sugar
on a trestle table and letting them sort it out themselves.
