Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

I'm here, never posted in tea before but as I have a mug full in my left hand as I lurk I thought it appropriate.

Yes, I am more used to seeing you with a beer in your hand, and a chisel in the other!

Stay Arch. I've just made a brew.

Busy with exam study at the mo. Exams on the 24/25/26/31 May then I have to start on the honours project.

Reading papers on organocontaminants that accompany Salmon Farming.

That sounds like a bad idea, and I do speak from experience

 

[Arch]

Stay Arch. I've just made a brew.

I'll try, but I'm getting a headache...

Reading papers on organocontaminants that accompany Salmon Farming.

Fascinating!

I'm on Three Men in a Boat at the moment...

Morning to the denizens, old & new, of the Tea? thread!

Still looks 'orribly gray and cold outside this morning.

*shiver*

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Am I the only person who quite frankly couldn't give a flying fart about the weather and can barely remember what it was like yesterday, never mind actually be controlled by it??

Weather is weather and moaning about is quite the most ridiculously pointless of any activity!

The day I get SAD is the day Hell Freezes over, and I'll probably then curl there too anyway!

Actually, that's a lie, I DO have SAD, but for all the wrong reasons!

Weather - YAWN!

 

[wafflycat]

The weather is important to me as it affects my attempts at growing veggies! To that extent, the weather controls what I do. If you find that to be somehow sad or worthy of ridicule, I think that reflects more on you.. and if you want to go further along that sort of vein, perhaps you might want to start a thread over in P&L?

Mornings!!!

Just downing the last of a brew before I head off to work.
First day back after a long weekend is always a bit of a slow start...

 

[Landslide]

Morning all!

A slow start and a quick finish for me. I'm on a one day working week!

Afternoons all.

Last evening I joined a new pedalling group. Very enjoyable meeting new folks. Saw the world from a different direction as we rode from a new start place (for me) and that meant doing roads in a completely different direction and even the odd new bit too.

Lunch time popping along shortly, I'll put the kettle on.

Been digging out in the garden. The hens have been 'helping' me with the weeding and pest control. Gabe was put on the naughty-step though, as she decided that the new leaf buds on the gooseberry bushes were delicious. The other hens had ignored the gooseberry bushes until Gabe communicated how good they were. So Gabe was evicted and put back in the run. She was *not* a happy hen about this. Dolce had a whale of a time though running about the garden with a fat, juicy worm dangling from her beak, being chased by Anode & Campag..

 

[TheDoctor]

It's all go round your place, Waffles. How *do* you stand the excitement?

I know, I know... I could barely restrain myself from letting go of a little bit of wee

Mind you, a few miles up the road in King's Lynn, it's a hotbed of political in-fighting. Cor!

Well, working outdoors, it's the difference between short sleeves and sunnies, or wet feet and cold fingers... Yeah, it's just weather, but it can make you feel quite miserable for specific moments. And it helps to know whether to set out on a round in your thick coat, or not.

Today has been lovely!

Only one fly in the ointment. We put the stuff we collect, sorted, into big skips. The waste merchants collect them when full, and deliver a new one. Today, they delivered a new empty one, for cardboard (we start collecting it soon), and took the coloured glass one, and then the lorry was going to come back with a new glass one for us.

For the last 6 weeks or so, we've had a coloured glass skip that had previously had a load of waste coleslaw in it, so it reeked of rotting onion. Today, they collected it, full of glass, and we waited with baited breath for the new one to be delivered.

It's the same one! It had just been emptied and returned....

Hose it down before more glass goes in. I assume there are drain holes.......
