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 :>)

Groan.

Ribbit

Meaow

gibber.

No thats not gibby. :-))))))))))))))

Funny, but her-indoors has suddenly gone off the idea of cruise holidays, I've no idea why!

My mother-in-law indoors had resisted cruises all her life until last year when she suddenly decided she would try a short one to the Norwegian fjords as a surprise for her husband; she enjoyed it so much that they went for a Christmas cruise to the Canaries. Despite encountering the roughest seas the crew had ever experienced my m-i-l thoroughly enjoyed that one too and had started planning the next one. I haven't spoken to her since Friday to see how the planning is going!

A tragic accident that should never have happened. Like all tragic accidents of course.

Why don't people go swimming when it is raining?

too many ducks

Well, you can't swim when holding an umbrella. I thought that was pretty obvious really. :o)

Sorry, it's too wet for swimming: Health and safety close outdoor pool because of rain 'risk'

What happens when the sun shines? Do they close the pool then as well in case the lifeguards get dazzled?!

The pool could over fill and you fall out, with all the rain. They did not say how much.
There could of been a foot that day. I bet you did not think of of that. :-)

Or it could make the bottom of the pool slippery .

What's this? The moan thread?

Get the teas on, SHOP!

Or could the swimmers get to wet. Can you get to wet?

Well the tea might be too wet; any volunteers to try it before I pour it all?

Oh, hang on, where's my umbrella?

Sorry - too
