*wakes up after a looooooooooong sleep, stretches, yawns*

*after a quick shower, decided to raid the kitchen for some breakfast, wrapped in towel*

*interestedly reading the name tags on the doors she passes by*

Hmmmmm... odd... these are not the names I seem to remember before I fell asleep... oh - never mind!

*puts the kettle on, starts slicing bread*

*wonders if the kettle has boiled yet*

*jumps*

Oh! Sorry, didn't hear you come in... hi Mina!

*fills pot with hot water*

Would you like a ?

I wonder if the others are still sleeping?

I didn't mean to startle you, sorry.
I was gasping for some and .
I've been around knocking on doors, to see if people are atound yet, but it's like sleeping beauty's castle.
Don't think about going swimming though, I think I saw a in there.
I've even tried to find some staff, but it's so quiet...

*pours two *

*searches cupboards for *

Yes, it is a bit odd this place being so quiet, isn't it? I mean, it used to be a quite busy place...

On the other hand, it's the vacation/holidays time of year...

*sniffs*
I can smell
I'll wait till they've gone then help myself to their biscuits

*carries on sweeping*

I think I can hear some activity starting. Maybe the staff are coming back, getting ready to open up, that sort of thing.

This is marvelous. How do you do it?

It's called 'mix of Gotland' (Sweden's largest island) and it's a mixture of black tea, bits of various dried fruits, mostly apple and apricot I believe, and then dried eatable flavours, giving the tea its lovely scent...

It's very good, I think - if you don't mind - that I'll send these ingredients to my future self at Kettlebastin, she'll love it as well.

Have you been anywhere else in Foxy Manor yet?

Sorry, but I must have been a bit tired when I tried to describe the tea - not flavours, but FLOWERS!...not sure which sorts, but they're red and blue and yellow...

No, I haven't been around yet, I think most of the conversations were started pretty recently, weren't they? I might take a walk later...

I've got blue and yellow flowers, but not red. And I thought the idea of edible flavours was a good one.

There are new conversations, there are also old ones that have been reactivated, and other old ones are returning at quite a rate across h2g2.
There should be some changes over the next few days to the main page, any requests, get them in now.

*knock, knock*

May I come in??

Smelled a wonderful ...
Is there any left, Titania??

Hi Mina, GB - how are you?

I'm fine, you should try this tea, it's to die for.

Great to see you again, Kasia!

There's always a cup for you...*pours *

Thanks, Titania!

's back

*striding out of the house, looking determined*

* and appear out of nowhere*

*floating in, looking much more her usual vague, elf-like self*

Good.
Cos that stroppy woman scared the crap out of me!

Well, that was what I intended...

*munches *
