Tea? (Part 2)

[marafi]

Where was our piece?

Home from a very tiring nightshift, just in time as the heavens are threatening to open and the wind is picking up too.
Ready for bed

Of course *gives you a slice* here you go. With a cuppa.

While i'm having tea i read a Simon Kernick book, with red bean cake and green tea.

I think there are two schools of thought about flooding. One is to keep water out at all costs and the other is to let the water through easily and have the house and contents more easily repairable afterwards with water proof floors and walls and raised services.

I've heard of a chap down in Bewdley who has done the latter. He lives on the riverside where floods are a regular risk so has had the electrics fitted at least 4ft above the ground and the downstairs rooms have been lined with swimming pool tiles so when the floods come it's easy to just hose out the mud and muck.

You mean the one I put on about a fortnight ago?

That reminds me, not had a new avatar for a week or so

Although I can read the messages almost immediatedly, complexities like your avatar and your sig line take a lot longer to be up-dated. Remember that there is no internet in the 1950's. The words are transmitted by telex. Pictures have to be redrawn by hand and posted through my letterbox.

What decade was it?

 

[Speicher]

Now you mention it, the last decade.

 

[potsy]

In that case it was either before my time, or in my early days on here when I was too scared to contribute to 'tea'

Chicken curry and rice was had for tea, followed by a small portion of cheesecake

 

[Speicher]

You joined in 2009, is that not the last decade? Or has your memory decade?

 

[potsy]

Only 3 years ago? Seems longer, must be all the waffle that Jo talks making it seem that way

 

[Lisa21]

Did someone mention waffles??

Tea, toast and peanut butter here - cba to cook.

One of my friends is back from a 3 week cycling tour in Norway and she brought me back part of an antler that she found on the side of the road. Apparently she also came across a reindeer skull she thought I'd like () but didn't have room for it in her panniers...
