CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Morning People!
I hope Choccie is not still up on the roof garden, it's pretty damp
up there this morning. Sadly it's not brighter here today, but they say
tomorrow will be better (sounds like an election slogan! LOL)

It seems to be getting brighter in central London but still pretty dull.

Well sling it out West Spacie! LOL!!
Weather had better be dry tomorrow or I'll be on the verge of a
laundry crisis, hate using the tumble dryer but my laundry basket
is on 'auto-teenage-fill' setting and about to burst!

I'm going to get the lunch on:
Steak and kidney pie for the meaties,
Haddock and prawn potato bake for the fishies,
aubergine bake for the veggies,
Selection of broccali, carrots, mashed swede, baked onions and tomatoes
for side dishes.

Also found a selection of Ben and Jerry ice-cream in the freezer
for afters - cherry, New York chocolate and nut, bananaoffi.

aubergine bake and banoffi for me please chocky, its got duller again now ;-(

Told you we should paint this place bright yellow, then
with a few well-placed spotlights we could have all year round
mock-sunshine!
:>)
Mind you may not be a good idea after people have had a few beers
and feel a bit sicky-icky, no maybe a good idea after all.

Ok I'm going to get on with the work I have to do - Spacie
this is your chance to have a field-day LOL - bunny should be
typing away, so she's going to get on with it now.

Kitchen's are on self-service, food's all cooked just serve
yourselves and wash up please guys!
;>)

Good Gawd it's quiet in here!
Ok I'll put the kettle on and search out some comfort food!

Hello, where is everyone? Is that kettle still hot, I could do with a Belgian Bun and a cuppa.

Nice cheque from sale of OOM today, help the old bank balance, at least until I re-invest it.

Evening all.

Littlewillie, why the harsh words of wisdom my old friend, i thought you was on the traders boards. Need not matter, we all still have this place you know. The cafe on the other side will just be a little extra somethink.

Was it raining? i hadn't noticed.

just visited the dark side, all quiet

Jeffmack
You need to watch that dark side, a chap I work with said "may the force be with you" and three policemen walked through the door. They did open it first I'm happy to say.

jeffmack, It is the dark side, but hopefully the new place will add a little sunshine. :-) The new place will not be built on the old country lodge estate, it is a million miles from there!!

Socks, i love your humour, always puts a smile on me chops.

Can i just say that the new place will maybe not open until late afternoon or evening. But when it does please pop in for an official opening drinky.

Evening.

Just nipped in for a ride in the hammock and a wee slurp of the obvious. I'm getting a bit perturbed - we've got smoothie recipes being posted. Are there no good old-fashioned alkies round here any more? You've got to live a little and regret it afterwards?

Still far too chilly not to stoke the fire, though.

Been a busy bee all week so ain't doing much round here. Also got a course next week, which will not be a bundle of laffs! ;-))))

Big Al
I've got some rather inferior single malt if you are interested? When I went to buy it they only had old stock, over 25 years, obviously can't sell it. The latest they had was ten years old. There isn't much I'm afraid, they would only let me have five barrels.

This sounds sufficient for a wee soiree, Socs

;-))

The local at my previous house had 97 single malts along the top shelf and some of them were well past their sell-by date! Unfortunately I'm only ever allowed one, coz it does funny things to me! ;-0

Big Al
I'm like you, one pint of it and I'm non compus mentis, completely.

bloody soft northeners cant take a pint of whisky, you should come down south and we will show you some proper drinking ;-)

Yeah right, Spacie!

ROFLMAO!

Socs - reminds me of a Billy Connoly story - along the lines of "What does the Pope drink?" Answer - Creme de Menthe. "Fine, geez a pint of that then" ;-)))

On that snippet, I'll vacate the hammock, coz Choccy may need it shortly. At least it'll be warm! LOL
