OK temporary accomodation for us ex-pats of Spacie's coffee house that is sadly now boarded up and in memory of Goldie's old pad the tearooms.

No fancy stuff, as this is temporary until we find a nice new place but it's warm down here with the fire and aga and I've organised a daily guinness, lager and wine delivery. There is a small kitchen in the corner and a few comfy cosy armchairs.

So feel free to take refuge when you need a break - self-service generally I'm afraid but when I can I'll rustle up a meal :>)

Yea, well, what I meant was, it's too late for early champers and too early for late champers! ;o)

Oh, and none of your flogging cheap pens in here mate!!!!

Morning chaps, sorry wasn't about yesterday had a lot to deal with in the warren and it' going to be like that for some time to come, so I'll have to get in when I can and hope you guys can keep the place going - and preferably still in one piece and standing (!) until the current pressures die down a bit this end.

Anyway I've got lunch sorted for you, it's steak pie with veggies, just heat at lunchtime if I'm not about and feel free to sort the washing up.

By the way when did this odd looking water tank arrive? Oh well I suppose it will be useful if the washing machine breaks down! ;>)

Morning Bunny, is there anyone in that water tank?

Well it there is they ain't moving........ohhh it's too scary for me! :>S

What's that smell - a mix of alcohol and putrifying fruit? - I hope the veggies include swede!

Morning all, just popping in for a Flat White (that Australian for a latte with very little foam).

Just got back to Sydney after 10 days up the coast, 35C here today aned 38C forecast for tomoroow and 41C for Thursday with storms. 25C on Friday when we fly home, hope its warm in the uk?

Hope it's warm in the UK he says!!!

Is he having a Steffi?

I'll be in the home made jacuzzi if I'm wanted. Last nights Spag bowl I think.

I note that there is no health and safety warning on the jacuzzi door. It should read "Drowning danger! contains water more than 2.54cm. deep."

Well if Tesco can label their milk cartons giving people the allergy advice that they contain milk and their assorted nuts with the allergy advice that they contain nuts and Cadbury similarly now have labelled Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, which has a picture of milk being poured into it with the allergy advice that it contains milk then it is important to take health and safety seriously!!!!! There also should be a warning on the front door to the effect that alcoholic beverages are consumed here and that respirators should be used as the atmosphere may contain ethanol from the alcoholic beverages.

I think when Keaydian is in there the danger is more likely to be from methane :-)

(blurpy blurpy blurp blurp)

Eh? sorry was in the middle of an interesting article in today's FT.

(puff puff puff)

Shorts? Why do I need shorts for? No one else using the jacuzzi.

Can I have a case of the black stuff? Need a top up.

'Ere you go gov., a case of the black stuff. We'll be round to lay it on your drive tomorrow, special price to you, 10,000. Er, notes only please.

Oh yes, KEAYDIAN, shorts are ok but no longs in the jacuzzi if you don't mind!

Right you are Kim.

(puff puff puff)

(cough, cough, hack)

Kim. I print the notes now. Pounds or dollars?

Rupees. :o)

No, erm Yen. :o)

Oh, er, no....Euros. :o)
