Good evening (Tuesday) Kes, welcome to the cafe. Nice music.

IIEM, green tea please

Didn't see you over there. Sorry if I woke you. Thanks. I play to keep cool, calm and to prevent unRaveling. Good afternoon (Aussie WST)
*slurps tea through straw*

I guess I shouldn't mention the rugby

Very wise. At the moment I'm claiming to be a cricket follower ... but it was a damn good game.

An excellent game. Can't wait for the rematch in Wellington on Saturday week. Hopefully the Aussies will beat SA this weekend.

Talking about cricket, I see Warne and Waugh have been dragged back into the match-fixing shambles.

Just isn't cricket, is it? I have some sympathy for Waugh, but little for Warne, but no doubt I'll be watching them play - almost anything is better and more comprehensible than "Aussie Rules" (hope the Aus, thought police aren't tuned in!)

I have been on this site for just over a year and most Aussies I have met come from NSW, Queensland and South Australia. I haven't run into any recently at the Aroma Cafe so you should be OK

Kes, I have a bit of real life business to attend to (eating) so will catch you later.

No worries (as we are reputed to say) see you later.
*resumes Raveling at the piano, occasionally wondering what to do with 18.5L of cold tea and the matching tea cup on trolley ...*

thanks, Witty Moniker

mmm, that's nice, not so good as IW/WI's handmade ones, but still nice

Excuse me - I must just pop out for a while. 'Bye.
*saunters casually towards exit, trying not to look as if he's pushing a huge teacup on a dessert trolley, and spilling tea on the floor*

*Washes all the spilt tea up*

IIEM, cup of tea please

thank you

*clicks ~this~ button,
clicks ~that~ little red LED,
clicks the ~other~ button*

Cool.

*click, click, click, click*

*I'm so easily amused*

IIEM: Kona, black, please.

*Wanders in, having spent the weekend at the top of a Giant Sequoia in the Forrest*
Hi Witty

That's better!

How's the tree house, eatsmice?

I'm really liking the improvements around here, so far.

*click, click*

One really hot tea please, IIEM.
