Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

Very unusually for me, I ended up with a large plastic milk bottle. The first thing I thought of was "how do I make an elephant out of this?"

Was it Rhythm Thief that made some? Or can you post a picture of your elephant please?

It was RT who started it, but I have a pic of mine somewhere, just a minute...

Here they are:



And in circus formation:



Daddy Tusker is a 6 pinter, Mummy is a 4 and ickle baby Babar is a 2 pint, I think. 1 pinters are a bit small.

Daddy has plastic ears on tabs, the others' ears are drawn on.

Yes, excellent Arch. On the large elephant, the top could be used as a basis for the "chair" Humdah is it?

Howdah, I think.

Yes, with a big of effort and some nice craft paper and sparkly paint, one could decorate them quite nicely.

It was all a bit last minute making them. I'm not offically helping tomorrow, but if I go I suspect I'll get roped in to help....

The hard part was sneaking into the kitchenette (a room straight off the hall with open doors) just before the interval to get ready and then realising how much noise it would make filling the metal teapot from the urn. We had to wait for a crescendo.

I've got the giggles from reading that!

 

[Speicher]

Oh yes, Howdah, close tho, wasn't it?

Would you like some Tea Baggy?

 

[Baggy]

It's a little bit late...but oooh, go on then, thanks!

 

[Speicher]

Err.. that was meant to be funny as in Tea Baggy?

A bit like when I ask "would you like some Tea Potsy?"

Yes, I need to get out more.

 

[Baggy]

Ah, I didn't spot the lack of comma!

Morning all. Kettle's on. Off towith my new we-like-cycling-but-don't-necessarily-go-too-fast club this morning. It's

today, which is a relief.

 

[potsy]

Ah, I didn't spot the lack of comma!

Too busy massaging your miles on MCL dodgy knee to notice a little thing like that

Tea? I have just finished a gruelling 6 hour shift and am relaxing with a Hob Nob Cream or 2

 

[Baggy]

I'm ready for Tea number 2, alas, no Hob Nob creams here
Am pondering if I'll get out on the bike today...am feeling very lazy and also need to tackle the mess in the outhouse.
Hope coffeejo made the most of the sunshine before the showers hit!

 

[coffeejo]

No room for biscuits here - had pie and chips and then a big bowl of ice cream upon my return. Well, I say "bowl". I really ate it straight from the tub with a spoon.

Didn't quite make it home before the rain but it stopped again as soon as I put my jacket on.

Did you get out in the end, Baggy?

 

[Baggy]

That's exactly what rain jackets were invented for!
Didn't manage to get out but am contemplating whether to go for a ride after dark - probably should do as you motivated me to buy ice-cream
The outhouse is much tidier though, which is a very good thing indeed.
