............to create a quiet corner.

Ah! 8 o'clock part 2 of "Servants: the true story of life below stairs" but it is a repeat. Or Top Gear - no don't fancy that.

Might watch Strictly but will finish my hot choc and eclair first. Cheers!

Hi yous lot, any tea or hot choc left? I've brought some Baggy Biscuits – they go well with anything. [barrel of biscuits]

The eclairs are good. Real Jersey cream.

Just watching last night's Miranda, then Dad's Army, then Montalbano.......nothing like a bit of variety !

Sounds good to me [slurp]

um, I meant the cream sounded good!

Crossed posts, marelli.

Any choc. eclairs left? The REAL cream ones....? Can't get proper ones in France. [hopeful emoticon]

Don't touch this hot toddy, whilst I just go and find those stem ginger cookies I put down somewhere

Sorry when - I thought it was tea - delicious. Any more.........? I'm not used to da' booze - but that was goooood!

I knew it! Have to nail everything down. Here you are Butty - whiskey, hot lemon, honey and just a little hot water x

There's brandy concealed behind the teapot, butternut It is surprisingly good in hot choc.

No TV in this room - BLISS. Everyone else watching it?? Well, I just scoff the lot and stretch out and relax.....

Cheers when - I like this...... um...... tea! Fancy elegran's special hot choc, too. Wow - it's all making me flush - very yummy - and woozy! [wobbly]

Marelli, I can't get into the swing of when Montalbano is on. I've only ever seen it once by accident, late at night, and loved it. Is it on every Saturday?

Someone put Butty in a chair with high sides, will you? She's sliding over .... Whoops!

Zzzzzz - isloverlyhere....Zzzzzzz - nite nite friends. x

Sigh....! Hope you can pour yourself into bed without mishap Butty

Anyone like the same? Hot toddy or hot choc with a nip of brandy - take your pick

Can I inhale some of those brandy fumes? Cold has settled in my sinuses! I'm sure those eclairs are medicinal too. Yum.

Thought mishap was already indisposed? She won't be pleased if she has to get up to put butternut to bed.

Elegran

when can I have a hot toddy, just got back from the house, fell into a hot shower but I am still freezing, it was a bit chilly up there today and I spent all day in the shade loading the cement mixer which warmed me when I was doing it then I was nithered within 5 minutes.

Thank (fill in your choice of deity) for hot showers glass

Hope you did not splash any cement in your eye while shovelling. I did and got a couple of little ulcers as a reward. Very painful and could not read or use the computer for a while.

elegran I am quite well practised now with filling the mixer, seem to have been doing it for an eternity sounds very painful.

"nithered" is a new word for me. I love it .
