Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

Use a teaspoon to scoop out a bit and then blow on it to cool before tasting. If there is no sugar then enjoy the taste of the tea and vow never to have sugar in it again.

Repeat the process with the milk and you will soon be having tea without milk or sugar and not only save calories but money and time too.

Opps!

Maybe Arch should have collected it for recycling, might have been worth a few bob in shrapnal!

Perhaps for use in the Tang Hall play area?

Boringly, we were pretty much unaware. When we went out on the afternoon round, at about 1.30, there was a copper directing traffic at the top of Bull Lane, who waved us out to turn right (away from the bombsite), and I guess he must have been stopping traffic heading toward the site and turning it back. But there was also a bus, apparently broken down, just at the top of Bull Lane, so we thought he was directing traffic round that.

By the time we got back, it was all over, I guess.

 

[Arch]

Well no one bloody told me.. tsk

I'm still pleased anyway!

Talk about an anti-climax!

Well thats a relief Jo because the opposite of that is strictly against forum policy allegedly

We only found out when a friend of my colleague, who lives in Chesterfield, texted him to say she'd seen the story....

God knows what a bomb was doing there. York didn't get a huge amount of bombing (the railway was hit though). I wonder if they could have been after the brickworks that was, that is now St Nicks! Either that or it was just a stray.

I have resigned from the theatre, officially on the grounds of my health. I need my energy for getting well and that is more important then fretting about the director's attitude and losing two evenings, and whole nights to insomnia, from the rehearsals.
I decided against burning bridges and may still pop in from time to time, just briefly to see the people I will miss and to see the show when it is presented. I also need to get my book back.
No more or set building for the foreseeable future as I put my energies towards getting work fit, earning some income and renovating my home.

 

[coffeejo]

That sounds really positive, NT

Thanks, Jo.
I will, at some point when I am stronger, have a proper word with the director. It would probably have a greater effect then if it were to look like I flounced over 'something petty'.

 

[coffeejo]

all round to celebrate?

Think I'm going to have an early night, today's 12 miles with the dog and trailer has left me very sleepy indeed

 

[Night Train]

Cheers!

I am going to stay up to watch Horizon at 9 on BBC2, gotta be more interesting then BBC3's offering! Currently watching India's little hill railway engines on BBC4. They have just dynamited a boulder off the track while a train was still approaching. No disruption to the service!

 

[Arch]

Yes, that sounds like a wise move NT. If your energies need to be used sparingly, then better to use them on stuff that benefits you long term, rather than the theatre...

I did my first shift as a cleaner today! I've taken on a couple of hours a week at St Nicks, after they dumped their contract cleaners for being rubbish. So I swept and wiped and mopped, and resisted the urge to say "Can I do you now Sir?" everytime I went into the office, on the grounds that it's a line from an ancient BBC radio comedy, and no one else would have a clue what I was talking about...

I have gained some more wols today. A Mummy wol and three ickle wols and a group of three wols.
They had been residing in the Cats Protection League charity shop, along with a Meerkat. Also chose some new speckles at the opticians. So engrossed were we, that is me and the assistants in the opticians, that they forgot to charge me for the eye test. I will have to phone tomorrow with my apologies. Also found a good kettle.
