Tea? (Part 1)

[tdr1nka]

Hey the training is cool tdr1nka, how long until you get let loose are fully qualified?

It was arch that was asking about the n-1 thing.

Well, the n1 is the road that connects Belfast & Dublin and, fingers crossed, I'll be accredited by the end of the year.

Huzza!
I'll sit down and build a small kettle to be powered by a Sturmey-Archer dynahub, so you'll always have tea at the workplace.

 

[TheDoctor]

Mornings!
Tea over there *points*

 

[wafflycat]

Ta! Am in need of a cuppa. I have been keeping MrW plied with cuppas this morning. Am now in need of one myself. WMnr is starting the process of moving back out of home and into his new un iversity abode today. Guess who is chauffeur... again!

 

[TheDoctor]

At least you're not driving half-way accross the country, I suppose.

 

[wafflycat]

At least you're not driving half-way accross the country, I suppose.

True. Small mercies and all that. But tomorrow is likely to be a couple of hundred miles. Sigh.

Edit: Look, at the mere mention of more driving my 4r$3 has expanded another three inches!

Or he could carry a storm kettle bolted to his rack - that way, he'd resemble a steam powered cyclist! Just needs a few twigs to fuel it...

Morning all! Doing my other job today. Well, ok, not right at this minute, obviously...

 

[TheDoctor]

Morning Arch!
Steam powered bike - I like it. I don't know if steam engines have a hot water take-off to make tea with, but I kind of think they should...

I've certainly seen a steam yacht that did, in the Windermere Boat museum. there was a little brass tap off the boiler...

I suspect any hot water take off on a steam loco might have to be a secondary system, heated by the boiler perhaps but not directly connected. Pressure off the main boiler might be a bit high to easily direct a mugful of water into a small drinking vessel...

 

[TheDoctor]

Maybe boiling water at a few hundred psi would be a bit too exciting to contemplate. Be like the mother of all jetwashes...

 

[abchandler]

I've not been keeping in touch, but has the 100,000 views milestone been marked? If not, I'll raise a cup

 

[TheDoctor]

100 000 views?
Flippin' heck! I'll drink to that!
*raises mug*

 

[Night Train]

Evening! I am stuck on the side of a slate mountain in Wales with no mobile signal and M is in hospital for an op. All I can do is drink tea and wait til the morning before finding a signal to phone her folks to see how she is. Phoned earlier but they were out.

 

[Milo]

They have the internet on mountains in wales now?

 

[Speicher]

I think I would like a very hot cup of tea, and some ginger biskits. The correct size for dunking. It feels as if I should be putting the heating on, and an extra jumper.

I joined a Pirates Pilates course last week, on the suggestion of my Physiotherapist. Managed quite a bit, (explained very briefly the problem to the Tutor), it should help with core strength, and stretching etc. Will it make me a bit taller?
