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 :>)

Quite right. Barley and hops!

One of the best things on earth, the other one well erhhhh.

"Where there is tea there is hope."
Where there is beer there is a hop.

Sometime a skip and a jump as well; but usually a fall!

Well I'll drink to that. In fact I'll raise more than my glass!

I'm here.
The teas here.
Where's the doughnuts?

Up there, behind the bar!

I was sitting in Leaf Tea Shop last week staring at a sign saying "Where there's tea there's hope" wondering where I had heard that before!

Ah, that looks familiar!

Time for tea!

lol

I'm just lolling about, drinking my tea and waiting for the market to settle down. Could get through a lot of lolling and drink a lot of tea before that happens, I think.

Lol!
:o)

After today I need something stronger than tea. :o(
Things could improve tomorrow. :o)
Or not. :o(

Oh, what happened to cause that, Kim?

Not a good day on the old stockmarket Socs. Whilst I don't have my shirt on it I do have a fairly decent pair of underpants involved! :o)
Today is a better day thus far. I expect George Orsborne to put a stop to my temporary euphoria!

I see Kim. I've stopped having 'days' on the market, just held onto 6 stocks, all of which are in deficit. Very slowly coming back up but things are just too volatile for me to consider trading yet. Got one just teetering on the edge of profitability, just needs a nudge to put it into profit. At least I get a dividend or two so not feeling too bad about it.

I'll put the kettle on since sun is just over the yard-arm.

I hope I haven't got shares in the one that is "just teetering on the edge of profitability" Socs, if I have it is guaranteed to teeter on the edge of a cliff, then fall off!

Tea for me please, no sugar. Guinness after the Budget. :o)
