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 :>)

Swap!

Um, let me finish my burgers and ice cream first!

What a noisy morning! 06.30 we had police, ambulance and fire engings wailing past, then at 07.00 the bin men came. After that just the usual seagulls screeching.

You should move here Socs. The bin men don't come until Friday!

Which friday is that, Kim?

Every Friday. Every other week we get 2 then 3 lorries turning up between 7 and 10 am. The 10 am (food waste) lorry parks for 15 mins for a tea break!!

I've been out shopping, an expedition to far and exotic places. I've seen the sea, Russian airplanes and Belgian ships, and all from the comfort of my German auto. What a multi-cultural world we live in these days!

I hope you bought lots of French wine?!

I bought a bottle of chianti from Asda, will that do?

Well, I know a French lady who works in Asda so yes, near enough!

Oui Madam.

No, she's a wee mademoiselle! :o)

Scottish?

Well, they sell haggis in Asda so she does have a connection!

What, as in looks like one?

Erm, well she is a bit thin skinned!

Now that the tennis euphoria has died, beans are back on the menu.
Today's 'eat all you can' specials include gut busting
'Henman Hill haggis, beans and chips'
and
'Murray Mound mushrooms, sausages, chips and beans'.

(opens door)

Beans back on?

As many as you can eat K!

I'll have both please and a portion of that trifle.
