Tea? (Part 2)

[accountantpete]

But I did once go out with a girl that worked at Yorkshire tea, but that is the nearest I got to partaking of it

Was she full-bodied?

She was fantastic at her 80 times table....

I hope your day today is an improvement on yesterday. I'm now in the Yorkshire Dales for a few days.

anyone?

Yesterday I was adding more books to the Library Database at the Pump House. Most of the books (about 800) that I have added to the database have been interesting ones, or have had nice easy titles, names of authors and names of publishers.

The books I was trying to add were all on the subject of education, Key Stage 312 of Design Technology Art Drawing, with ever so long titles and even longer names of publishers.

I then tried to help my colleague work out how to make giant pom poms as part of an art project. It is to be noted that she decided not to try and break the world record of making a pom pom fourteen feet across. The drawback to it being that size, was that we could not calculate the weight of the finished pom pom.

The day was rounded off nicely on my journey home. I nearly became a sandwich between a twenty tonne, or it could have fifty ton lorry, when I was in a backed-up queue of traffic. My life flashed before me accompanied by the sound of the squealling brakes applied to all 24 of his tyres.

I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that today has been calmer.

Someone came to work today, by arrangement to buy one of my bags. I had two for her to choose from.

She bought both!

Hurrah for ladies with bag habits!

I'm having takeaway tonight.

But first,

Is Archie any good at names of Exam boards? Like the National Society for Education in Arts and Sciences?
The Qualification and Matriculation Board of Siddlesbury College?

I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that today has been calmer.

Good!

I would say that today has been wetter.

100g of wool has x yards in it.

A pom pom 14 feet across would have um di dum di (guesses) 5000 lengths of wool in it.
5000 divided by x times 100 equals the weight of the pom pom. Is my maths correct so far?

 

[Arch]

Think so...

What are you going to cut the cardboard donuts out of? If they need to be 14 feet across, that's a very very big cardboard box!

(I know you said you weren't going to do it, but I'm going to nag you until you give in....)

 

[Speicher]

Rocky, you are just a knit wit.

She had some sheets of cardboard about six feet by six feet!

You need more sheep... a 14' diameter pompom??

 

[Speicher]

That should be plain to see.

 

[Night Train]

I am in Bolton to see a man about an ebay item. He said he would be in after 6pm.
I guess 7.30-8.00 does count as after 6!

Anyway, did a good deed today. I drove across Manchester to 'rescue' an old client of mine after she locked herself out. Fortunately I still had her spare keys.

 

[Arch]

And lucky you can just drive!

 

[Night Train]

I hope so too. It is boring and a little bit unnerving sitting in the car down an alley on a council estate with no idea if it is a safe or dodgy one.
