h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, my poor niece has been working too hard. I'm giving her a break. She hasn't met many people yet. What kind of tea do you fancy, Kasia? Also, I have a nice lemon pound cake if you'd like a slice?

Coelacanth, would you like some sandwiches? Or cake? Traveling gives one such an appetite.

Hi there, It's been a long time since I've been here and I thought that I just dropped by for the fun of old memories, that and the smell of all those nice tea's is quite inresisteble.

~grin~ Hi Arutha! Come on in and pull up a chair. What would you like? Coffee? Espresso? Black tea, green tea, herbal tea? We have lots to choose from.

Mhmm, a lemon cake! Yes, of course I would like a piece, but a big one, as I'm just starving! And maybe a cup of blackberry tea.

Hi Arutha, didn't see you for ages! How are you?

*Brings out the and the tea.*

Arutha has a tendency to go silent for long periods of time. We can use him for a towel rack after a while.

Kasia, are you shopping for the holidays yet?

Greetings!
*bows low*
It has been raining whole week in my lands but yesterday sun came up! Brilliant, I guess I will start believing miracles!
Could I have my usual magenta tea, please?
*sits to table*

M'Lord.

*Sets down his magenta , and a plate of ,,and *

Were you startled by the bright light in the sky?

*this much food*
There are too many bright lights in my dreams but I think the happy thoughts started my day in the good way.
*eats donut and takes a bit of cake*
Mmm... This is very good.
Winter is coming, I can sense it. Darkness, darkness everywhere but there is this strange atmosphere in it which makes it so lovely period in the year. I wish it would snow...

It has snowed and melted here. I too hope it will snow again.

It is dark now but when it snows, the snow will reflect light somehow and bring light to this cold world. Ever been in forest in Winter when your only company is full moon? The whole place is colored by pale blue glow...

Mhmm, so many good things on that table! Yummy!

Hi Lord Falk LeGrey (I still do love this nick of yours )

Mari-Rae, what holidays do you mean? The X-mas?

May I have another blackberry tea, please?

Lord Falk, that forest sounds so lovely. No I have never experienced that.

Yes, Kasia, I did mean Christmas. Have more cake, both of you!

I never say no to a cake, Mari-Rae !

To be honest, I managed to buy only one X-mas gift. No time at all till now . And of course, it's always difficult for me to find something nice for men, you know. We have one maxim: it's not 'allowed' to give something 'practical' like socks or cosmeticas (well: a good perfume is something else, though )...

May I have a green tea, please?

*Pours Kasia's tea*

In our family we try and make the gifts for one another, rather than buying them.

X-Mas? Again?
I must think some gifts to my friends... And I'm always bad in these kind of things. I always buy something stupid.
Books are good idea!
Last year it was snowing this time of a year... *sigh* Now, it's only complete darkness from 4 p.m to 7 a.m... And the days are grey as it can get. But! Let's not get depressed how depressed I am without the snow!
*finishes magenta tea*
Could I have some more please?

Of course you may. *Pours more magenta tea for his Lordship.*

Books are a wonderful gift, indeed. That is a good thought.

Thanks, Mari-Rae.

Hmm, you're right, of course, but primo: I'm not good in manual things and secundo: lack of time is a big problem for me

Books and CD's are my favourites! The only difficult thing is, that you must know exactly, which book and/or CD your familymember/friend do not have !

His Lordship seems to reside more North than me - Suomi, perhaps?

Suomi indeed.
Just thinking that I have to make a list from gifts... Sounds horrible but it is the only way. You see, my memory is very bad and it is unpleasent situation to forget someone's gift.
CD's hmmm... That would be good idea, or I can make magical wands!! Get the idea when I was walking through the forest... There are magic everywhere.
But sometimes it is fun to buy a book that no one has any interest... But beware! Usually your friend will has his/her/its revenge by buying something more stupid.
*drinks more magenta tea*
*eats cake*
Delicious!
But it is kinda fun that everyone start to look presents at this time of a year... X-Mas, what a perfect timing. But most of us are humans, right?

*comes just in the threshold and looks around*
The inside is even prettier than the outside!

Is there a table free?

Hello, Lil! Yes, please sit down. What can I get you?
