Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

Time for me to go to bed, good night.

Evening all!

I'm shattered. Dunno why, maybe the half pint I had after work... But I was tired before that.

Need tea. Lots of tea.

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

There's a fresh pot just here Arch. Pass that mug over and I'll pour you a large one.

I been a bit cream crackered today too. Don't know why. Could be it's a bit cold I suppose. Never mind I shall have a rest. I've got stuff I need to do tho'.

Cheers, I needed that!

We had an interesting afternoon. A chap rang up last week to ask if we could collect 20 boxes of paper from his self storage unit - it was technically business waste (the entire archive of a local electrical retailer as far as we could tell), which we don't do, but my boss negociated a donation for St Nicks if we did it (plus we get to sell the paper of course). So we took Beryl round there to meet the guy at 2pm.

Of course his unit was on the first floor, so we had to carry the boxes down. All 45 of them. And it wasn't just paper, it was paper in folders and ringbinders. So we spent the rest of the afternoon sorting the damn stuff out.

Emptying the ringbinders was one thing. Undoing the countless rubber bands and paperclips holding the little wodges of receipts together was another.

And he didn't give us the donation like he said he would, he said he'd arrange it with our boss. He'll be in for a bit of a price hike, now the boss knows how much work was involved.

It would have cost him a fortune to get the council to take it.

Still, we amused ourselves by reading out the more salacious bits of the company records, including the saga of the incompetent electrician (who electrocuted a vicar's wife), and the bitter memos from various staff made redundant or not getting pay rises over the years. We get the impression the company were bastards to work for.

I was quite headachey by the time we finished, and after a half in the pub really just wanted to get home....

Evening

I'm skipping the tea and going straight for the litre bottle of Magners that's been in the fridge since Christmas, should be chilled enough by now

First time this year I have done all 5 days on the bike, and I'm shattered, think a little drinky pooh and a bar of choccy as a treat are in order

 

[Night Train]

I looked at the left over Christmas bottle of Magners too.
Decided on the Scotch though.

Might need a tea soon though.

 

[Speicher]

Have you finished early today Pots?

As it is Friday, yes, good idea, to have a little drinky pooh and a smallish bar of chocolate.

I have just had a Snickers bar, and even keep inside today's points allowance. Lunch was lots of salad, and some dark rye ryvita.

This evening I have been sewing my shorts. They should be finished next week, in plenty of time for summer.

 

[potsy]

Yes early finish Friday also known in the factory as TFIF

Snickers? You mean Marathon? I have had a Chunky Kit-Kat and have almost finished my cider, going out for a meal tomorrow (mums 60th) so could be a bad weekend diet wise

How exactly do you knit yourself a pair of Lycra shorts?

 

[Speicher]

They are not lycra shorts, and they are not knitted, but apart from that.....

They are cotton shorts for sitting out in the garden in the sunshine*, on the sunbed. Even if I lose another stone before the summer I can adjust them by taking in the side seams.

* It is to be noted that I will also be wearing a t-shirt.

 

[potsy]

I have half a wardrobe full of 'when I lose some weight' clothes,some still have the tags on as I bought them in a fit of optimism, hopefully this is the year I get some use out of them

Watching 'Outcasts' on the I-player, episode 6? and I'm still not sure if it's any good

 

[Speicher]

Yes, I think I have half a wardrobe of slightly too small clothes. I do not need to buy any new clothes. Shorts, however, are slightly different, as I prefer shorts of a longer, rather than shorter length, if you know what I mean. I do like to maintain a modicum of decorum.

I've always preferred short shorts if you know what I mean

[Speicher]

Crumbs, look at the time.

Good night Potsy and Night Train.
