Getting Ready For Tea At 3

[albaqwerty]

made some sandwiches, cheese and ham, salmon, cheese and tomato.
(bought a kilo of cheese, it's got to go somewhere)
as well as cheese scones.

Was in the mood for something crunchy, so there's a huge pile of rice crispy cakes (other brands are available) also there's shortbread.

Too early in the year to make mince pies and mincemeat pies though.

Grab a paper plate and tuck in.

(Liquid refreshments are in the usual places)

[albaqwerty]

blooming heck! that's a lot of jobs on the go.

If I wasn't scared of you I'd say 'so that's what the smell is' but as I'm frit, I won't :-D

hahaha!

Don't worry, we have access to a kitchen and bathroom in the cottage next door! So no more smelly than usual.

mum and dad moved house when I was 10 (they took me with them) we lived in a caravan for 9 months til the renovated cottage was rebuilt with a kitchen and athroom.
Trudging across the courtyard to the nieghbours bathroom was fun in the depths of winter.

You win!

We've only had this for about a fortnight, and hopefully the house will be back to normal (if that's possible) in another 2 weeks or so.

Not great when you need a wee at 2am...

[albaqwerty]

Sloopy, have a shortbread to get rid ob the crispy choccy bits and a slug of tea xx :-)

A house back to normal?! Yep, my sprogs are now over 18 and house still isn't normal, well, it's normal for us so that's fine x

[mccfluff]

[Tilly2]

Good afternoon, Alba. I've just had a cheese toastie but I can probably find room for a salmon sandwich. I can't remember when I last had a salmon sandwich. Have you cut the crusts off?

I'll make some more tea if necessary.

[albaqwerty]

Tilly, I think we need an intravenous drip for sloop :-D

Crust off? of course!!

[mccfluff]

[EcclesCake]

Is there anything left for me?

I'm ravenous!

[Tilly2]

I hope you have the heating on, Alba. It's a bit parky today.

[albaqwerty]

Eccles, the usual and all grub has been under cloches to keep 'em fresh:-)

(oooh, cloche, I think I'm being posh for a mo, usually the grub is under clean tea-towels)

[albaqwerty]

Heating's on Tilly :-)
