Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Did you know.... Rachmaninov had very large hands, possibly due to a congenital condition, which makes some of his work very difficult for many pianists to play, because he could span more notes than most people.

Try as I might, I'm not sure I could be Celia Johnston. I think I'm more likely to end up as the snooty lady in the tea room, fielding saucy backchat from the porter, and keeping an eye on my buns.

 

[Speicher]

At first I thought you meant Harriet Boscombey-Smythe, or whatever her name was who stops Celia saying good bye properly to her friend, when he is going off to Africa. Do you mean the Tea Lady?

I would like to be the Station Master.

 

[Arch]

I mean the tea lady, the one who says "I'm sure I don't know to what you are referrin' " when it's quite clear she's having assignations with the porter chappie.

And isn't the dreadful friend Dottie Mainwaring or something like that?

Tea? I've just made a brew.

I have made a mental note to watch the video on the next very wet rainy afternoon.

 

[Speicher]

Did I mention btw that I now have a chocolate watch? A kit kat one, from Epay.

Ideally, tucked up in bed or on a sofa with a blanket, and huge pot of tea, and big box of chocolates...

Ideally, tucked up in bed or on a sofa with a blanket and cat, and huge pot of tea, and big box bar of chocolates...

 

[Speicher]

The above scenario raises an interesting observation. The large bar of Chocolate (Galaxy with hazelnuts) will have cost more than either the video (purchased a local Charity shop for £1 at most) or the TV (won with as a raffle prize with a ticket costing 50 pence). The almost new, fleecey blanket was also purchased at a Charity shop for about £3. The cat would be the most expensive item of all.

I do hope that the Chancellor is not expecting me to be any help whatsoever in the financial recovery, by spending less or more?

 

[Arch]

What about the sofa?

 

[Speicher]

The sofa was second-hand cos I could not find a new one that I liked. It is sort of autumnal russet with seat cushions that need replacing. Most of the rest of the furniture in the lounge is at least twenty years old, including a rocking chair given to me by an old neighbour. Are there any more details you would like me to furnish?

I need your inside leg measurement and your great grandmother's maiden name (that's all on the distaff side of course). Alternatively - where are the biskits

Well today I finalised making the elderberry syrup. I had it bubbling away nicely most of the afternoon when I was called to have some dinner. That's when it all boiled over .

Got my external hard drive delivered today. I now have a whole Terabyte to clog with more junk. So far I have transferred Photos and music. My internal hard drive is a mess- so I shall free it up some more and defrag.

Still not pedalling. But I'm on the mend. I have to shove off to Leicester (Friday) and Cambridge (Saturday) to delivery daughters to uni. So no pedalling till Sunday at the earliest 4cast for Sunday is

Oh, I bet that's a lovely mess! Back luck.

Tea, anyone?, I just boiled the kettle.

Yes indeed - Mrs 26x25 was exluded from the area until I had spooned and licked it up . She can't stand her our cooker being messy when I'm the culprit . Nevertheless it tasted VoonderBah
I now have 6 x 2lb jars with sticky gorgeousness in them . And before you all ask - NO you can't

I'm off now. Play nicely and don't let this cr&p weather get under your skin. I'll leave the kettle full and this nice pot of T under its cosy.

Have just ordered a replacement batch of Formoso Lapsang Souchong from the Algerian Coffee Store in London. There's nothing quite like the smell of a freshly opened packet. It's like a good Islay malt.
