Tea? (Part 2)

[TheDoctor]

This evening I shall be mainly wearing waterproofs.
Or dressing gowns.

 

[Amanda P]

Hasn't reached York-ish yet.

Yet....

And it's shopping night tonight, so I will be hauling home a 15 kg bag of dog food (and some food for me, maybe) on a trailer all the way from York this evening...

Needless to say the rain meter is looking like showers in 'The Smoke' for the evening.

For those who haven't a clue what I'm on about, I'm sorry, I have a code.

Is that a code in the node? A tissue?

 

[tdr1nka]

Y'know, the very moment I logged on to read this thread, the rain started.

I'll be needing a tea.

Nose is free of code.

I've been to the zoo today! We saw tigers and pimpims (guess), and giraffes and a leopard, and when asked his favourite, Oli said "Tractor!" (It pulls a road train round the zoo)

Then, this afternoon, he helped me carry a mop home from the shop in town.

 

[Speicher]

Pimpims - sounds like penguin.

Did you know that Peppa Pig's Dentist is an elephant?

 

[wafflycat]

Pimpim - sounds like a vulture or possibly a marmoset.

...the process by which a normally dressed man is made to look like a minder for a prostitute....

 

[Speicher]

* ponders why nobody thinks it odd that I know about Peppa Pig's dentist *

 

[Archie_tect]

....Speicher? I've been pondering, please could you tell me how it is that you know about Peppa Pig's dentist?

 

[tdr1nka]

I know someone who animates Pepper Pig.

Quite some 'small worldage' innit?

Just returned dry and sated from a lovely evening with the Doc'.
The bill for the evening included two set meals and five cups of tea!!!

To set the record straight, neither of us were in our dressing gowns but I was wearing tights my bib longs.

 

[Speicher]

Tdr1nka, glad you had a lovely evening.

Archie_tect, I saw the dentist on the cover of the book.

Yes, small world. I may have mentionned this before, but I was asking someone once if he knew the real name of "Mr Pastry". It was at a dinner somewhere, and I thought he would be the right age to remember that sort of detail.

He seemed unusually upset that I should be asking him that question. So I had to back pedal diplomaticaly, as like wot I do. Anyway that did not placate him at all. Turned out he used to work for Mr Pastry's agent, and he was trying to work out how I knew that.

Moff to bed now.

Leaves clean mug and plate of biskits for late comers.

 

[tdr1nka]

Night, night Spiecher!

May your dreams be full of pastry.

 

[TheDoctor]

Evenings!
Well, that was delightful. 3 courses and a small lake of Tea for about 13 of your Earth pounds, and a gentle ride past Doggersea Bats Home and its associated power station. No inflatable pigs though...
Trinka was indeed in his tights, whereas I was wearing shorts and my finest Aldi long-sleeve jersey. We must have looked a sight.
And it certainly made a change not to have any bikes stolen.

 

[Archie_tect]

....as you went on the bus.
