Tea? (Part 2)

[Dayvo]

My brother gave me some onion marmelade when I was back in England last time.

I protested and said it wasn't marmelade, but chutney. We had a friendly disagreement, but neither of us would budge.

Is it a marmelade, or is it just a new, poncey, sales-gimmicky name for chutney?

 

[Arch]

I have got some Onion Marmelade, as the lady in the delicatessen suggested it for making the gravy with the turkey crown. Not got the mature cheddar tho'.

The sore throat is much better, but now I have poorly dose, and still feel very tired. Never before have I had a cold that has lasted this long, more than two weeks now. sniff

I think it's a year for lingering colds. I'd had a sort of sore throat for two weeks, only realised today it's gone...

You're better off than me, then. I've had a head cold for six weeks with no sign of it abating. I'm on the verge of completely losing my voice for the second time, accompanied by my third cough, and second blocked nose. Hopefully the headaches and sore throat won't come back just yet!

6 weeks? That is enough to drive anyone mad. Had a lovely snooze in the armchair after another 'shot' of Beechams (hic) turning into an alcoholic

Consumption of tea and hot chocolate is non existent, am surviving on Lucozade,hot lemon and pepsi Max.

Last night/this morning it was 4am at least before I fell asleep.

Pots, are you still not managing to eat chips and pies etc?

Time for me to say good night - busy day tomorrow, cards to write and parcels to wrap.

 

[Aperitif]

Ooo. I pop in and everyone is coughing and spluttering. (Normal for potsy I know). I have Lavazza-a-plenty here...already had 2 x gunpowder and mint tea though, earlier today. Don't try and sleep Speicher - post more here!

Got some gingerbread men biscuits. The coffee shop next door are selling them... who want's one with a cuppa then?

Bleedin' very cold commute this morning..but the tyres make a great sound rolling over the frost.

Over here with the gingerbread men Ian . I'll put the kettle on. Best fumigate the cups first though with all the germs around this place.

Santa arrived this morning. New chainset and bottom brackets x2 for mine and Spandex's Ultra Galaxies. Only ordered them from Spa Cycles yesterday . Very impressive service from Royal Mail.

 

[Speicher]

Yes, please, I would like more than one a Gingerbread man, thank you. Even tho, I have only just had breakfast.

Slept well last night, and all this morning.

 

[Ravenbait]

I haven't had a gingerbread man in years!

Best not, though. I just had a packet of crisps and I'm about to have my lunch. I find this Formosa Lapsang Souchong goes quite nicely with curry.

Ravenbait, have you given your cuddley Royal Canadian Mountie Moose a name?

Benton is not joining me for lunch today, he takes Wednesdays off. Hope he is not swinging a live otter.

I have not. Frood has just emailed me to say that the Giant Stitch with happy ears has arrived, and I think it's best that I get him settled in before introducing any more peculiar animals to the household.

However, I think the Moose looks like a Montogomery.

What do you mean by peculiar animal?

The cuddley moose in his red jacket and smart hat looks quite normal to me.

He's a little on the short side for a member of the RCMP.

All the better for climbing drainpipes.
