Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Having tried a good few 'bents, I think I like them. Except for the Windcheetah. I feckin' love that thing. I rode one of the new compact ones last summer and became visibly excited.

I thought that was the steering joystick...

*snigger*
*fnarr, fnarr*

 

[wafflycat]

Oh yes, I know what you mean. I have a couple of 1930's housewife's manuals and they have some dreadful designs in them - knitted swimsuits and the like. (They also have some wonderfully coy yet detailed descriptions of the, um... acts of marriage....) But the simplest things never fail to work (I'm talking about the knitting here, not the, um... acts of marriage. Although...).

I think the one age that never fails to make me cringe though, in knitting and fashion terms, is the 80's.

I've just found, lurking, in all the sewing stuff, a little black satin cocktail dress I made back in the early 80s. Thankfully, my sense of style wasn't utterly abhorrant back then. Mind you I look at the dress and think "Was I really that skinny?" as I distinctly remember feeling fat back then, yet I look at it now and I was slim..

 

[TheDoctor]

I'm sure you looked stunning in it, Waffles.
Give it a few months and you'd probably look stunning in it again.

 

[tdr1nka]

Oh yes! Lets cycle to Waffles for cocktails!

We need to pick a really wet weekend.

 

[TheDoctor]

Since Trdr1nka doesn't do alcohol, I'll drink his share.
It's a sacrifice I'm happy to make

Does Waffles really want to see us in wet lycra?

 

[tdr1nka]

With Waffles in a cocktail dress I think it only fair we arrive in tuxedos.

Morning btw.

*slides mug of steaming EG to the Doc'.*

 

[TheDoctor]

*sips delicately from the Noble Earl*

Morning! and thanks.
I don't fancy riding 80 miles in a tuxedo. Anyway, I'd have to get one first.
"We tried to make it work
Waffs in a cocktail skirt
and us in a tux"
Well, it just isn't me...

Actually looks OK out there, blue sky and that.

 

[tdr1nka]

Says hello, waves goodbye.

School run.

 

[wafflycat]

Men in wet, tight-fitting Lycra, you say? Oh yes! Especially where they are going to strip those off & then don tuxedoes!

Mornings..

The new sewing machine is scheduled to arrive today!

 

[TheDoctor]

So nothing could give you the needle then?

[Speicher]

TheDoctor, you have the mind of a sewer.

 

[wafflycat]

Gah! The machine is supposed to arrive... it's not heere yet. According to the Parcelforce tracking data it's out for delivery...

*chews fingernails*

 

[TheDoctor]

TheDoctor, you have the mind of a sewer.

That's a bit harsh. I've tried to keep it clean for ages.

 

[Speicher]

It would seem stress has made it dirty again.
