Abbie. What an inspired choice of name for a gelding

Abbie's a male name too...as in the kid in my lit class...and as in Abbie Hoffman...and as in said gelding...

Steal This...never mind...

I was thinking more of cloistered nuns and priests

*fishes out bottle of Lemon Curd from sofa cushion*

Have you ever had lemon curd tea? Wonderous stuff... Almost clogged two arteries last time I had some

No need to apoligise for the absinthe, Marv Plenty to go around.

Morning all! It's too early!

Coffee please, Matina, and yes, I'll take a scone, but what are they, please?

Good work Odra!

Thank you for the fire Lil (it is about that warm/cold here.) Trust me, when you don't have hot water . . .

Kathy

It's not too early, I just guess it depends on what time you think it is

6:20 AM! I'm going to go see if there's any hot water yet.

RL: heads to shower
VR: heads to back rooms for same purpose

That's only because you're in EST land!

*Tries desperately to think of somethng cheery and frivolous to mention*



Ah, I would appear to have become a costume prosthetics salesman, along with failed academic, trainee roady, long distance entertainments convener and lazy IT guy. At least this explains why I never seem to have spare time.

*Shuffles off to have a scone, feeling he may have confused again*

*scribbles note on back for C*


scone (skn, skn)
n.

1. A small, rich, biscuitlike pastry or quick bread, sometimes baked on a griddle.

Scones are also very good with jam and maybe some cream if you like that sort of thing.

Serve with clotted cream and fresh strawberries to cull the population of geriatric tourists infesting Stratford-on-Avon.

Good morning everybody.

Got a pretty amazing fire here, CChick -- Irv gave me the logs when I first moved in here (this was only a 3 room garrett, way back then). They're magic. They never finish burning. We put the fire out by snuffing the logs, then stuff a few fat sticks in next time we want to light it.

Matina has made more cinnamon buns! *pours herself tea from the pot*

*perk*

Cinnamon buns?
Oo, can l have one? Please o please?

Also some lemon curd tea as mentioned by Sporky...just out of curiosity. Who needs arteries?

l'm off to school in a bit, but l'll be back later. Hopefully traffic will have settled a bit by then -- it's been next to impossible accessing this site this morning, for me anyway.

*stirs tea and peers curiously*

It's been hard getting onto H2G2 from here as well!

Generally slow all round then.

And still slow three hours later, alas...grrrrr.

lnformation superhighway, indeed. lt's more like an information footpath today...

I know what you mean argh
