Tea? (Part 2)

[phil_hg_uk]

Due to it being 'insurance' I had to go like for like. I was hoping that they no longer had the Arc and would upgrade me a little but no luck. Still, it gives me a sellable phone for when I get a better one.

I am ok though. It was just one of those moments when my head doesn't know where my feet are and I stumble while looking for balance that isn't there.

I have had to loose my calendar but I managed to save everything else and then I reset the phone. I am back with my old faithful Sony W995 Walkman, except there is no music on it and it takes a different memory card. I did find my old ring tone though, the sound of a Cummins 6BT diesel engine starting up! I must remember to copy that to the replacement phone when it arrives.

Is it an android phone NT ?

On the subject of tea, this was quite an interesting (skim)read (ok, ok, looking at the photos ) ... until the final video.

As our 30th anniversary present to us, we're either buying a completely new set, or going to New England for an Autumn holiday.

Mrs A_T would love the Autumn colours... costs a fortune though!

I'd go for the holiday, myself.

No, I'd never have thought of doing that Rocky. All those holidays I've had, never once tried anything like that- mind you a friend who emigrated to Australia in 1983 claimed a visit home as research into Building Methods... I was really irritated by the nerve of it!

I had one of those moments in the kitchen about a month ago. I toppled sideways and as I was falling I just had time to think of the potentially dire consequences if I injured myself while on Warfarin. I bashed the side of my head and my right arm against metal handles on some of the kitchen units which caused me a lot of pain but somehow I didn't even get bruised.

A friend of mine apparently has urgent business meetings to attend in the French alps every winter ...

I'm going to find some lunch and then, where was I? Oh yes, heading towards the workshop to do some more woodwork.

You say 'find' like you don't know where your lunch will be...

We've been invaded by some local kids, and I'm about to do murder.

Ummmm, errrrrr,

Nearly all my plates are from Royal Doulton, Florinda I think. Some of the plates started to look very faded. I could not find a new design that I liked anywhere as much, and I was lucky to find lots on BayE (brand new and unused). I was also lucky that they all arrived safely without breakages. The other design I like very much is Denby's Boston blue, but I only have sugar bowls, and milk jugs etc in that design.

I think this is my great grandfather twice removed teaching.

Where did he remove the teaching from, and why did he remove it twice?

Or was he twice removed from teaching for eyeing up the birds?

 

[Speicher]

He was a very distant relation. I was confusing him with Ossie, my second cousin twice removed.

Now you're being silly!
