The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 02: A Comma (is a Restful Pause)

[_Lynn_]

Totally sasified, uh, satisfied.

Slip the black corset on. That always gets the writing juices flowing.

Ah yes, your favorite.

 

[Handley_Page]

Ah yes, your favorite.

The audience loves it.

We got gentle wet round here at present.
And it's +6C according to my gadget.
With the "Trout" quintet bellowing from the speakers, I think a nice coffee will go down real well.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Up really early. Coffee, toast, my laptop and me and a full day of writing ahead. Yaaaaaay. Doing my internet burst now and then it's close everything down and get to it.... so have a wonderful day everyone.

Good to know your recovery is going well, Lynn. Getting into writing mode? I can offer no useful suggestions, all I do is start my fingers moving and if I'm totally stuck write some garbage lines and that gets me going.

Morning, all!

Shortbread for those who like it. Fresh last night.

 

[TxRad]

Shortbread never seems long enough to get to my lips.

Morning all, Fresh coffee is brewing.

A warmer day again today but overcast and rainy later. I think waffles would be good this morning.

Thank you. I'm pleased with how it's going.

So are we!

I'm due in the out-patients next Wednesday, to have a 'polyp-ectomy'.
If anyone has any knowledge of 'Picolax' they'll know of my anxieties.
And tubes going where the sun doesn't shine does not fill my mind with peace.

Can I have a nice big coffee please ?
And a few clues how to fix the remote thingy on my TV. . . . .

I have a friend who had several, you'll be fine.

Coffee with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I have a relatively modern [small] TV which receives both the modern digital UHF stuff (Freeview) and the old analogue bands. It's a posh-looking thing with smooth edges and so forth. No mains on/off, you understand (what was that about energy efficiency?), but a complicated remote control with about a million buttons.

The snag is that the Remote controller - doesn't. I've had to switch off the set at the mains socket ! (and yes, I've ordered a replacement - again!).

Is there any tea in the pot, please ? It's late and I think I should retire.

Tea? Teeeaaaa? We're going to have to really work to convert you to the true faith, HP.

Yes, me dear, TEA. As I approach old age, I find coffee last thing at night does me few favours in sleeping.
However, my breakfast coffee is, I'm pleased to report, a very valid wake-up call.
But my Thanks for the thought.

PS. I gotta get me some Black Rifle stuff. . .

There is a tiny sliver of a moon hanging in a deep indigo sky outside my office window. It may make it into a story some day.

 

[TxRad]

I got mugged at breakfast by a returning Housemate and Houseguest. After that....

The evening coffee is ready and a fresh kettle.

Strange, I made mug cake tonight. I wonder which was the more enjoyable "mugging?"

Luna is out? [/me peers out] Must be hiding behind the cedars. I look forward to Luna liberating itself from Terrestrial domination. Free all moons! Can we monetize that?

Wrong time for coffee. Return later. With biscotti.

Did I hear 'biscuits' ?
Should go well with my breakfast coffee (pay attention please, Chloe);
or maybe my mid-morning coffee. . .

The TV decided to work this morning (I switched it off at the plug last night), so perhaps I don't need to go buy a replacement.

We got Dry, gloomy +9C this morning !

This season's third day of winter has arrived. Hail covers our meadow. Dwarves can skate on our frozen birdbath. A chill breeze descends the kitchen's stove-top vent. Grumbling crows stomp on our roof tiles wearing earmuffs. The thermo-gauge atop the propane tank has stopped reporting. Coffee refuses to steam. It's getting dire...

You gotta watch out for those crows. A disgruntled gang of crows could just take over your house and start plucking at the uke's.

Where oh where did I put that "Cows with Guns" video?

A late good evening from me.

I spent a lot of the day in the shop painting garden boats and trailers. A little sanding and touching up was required before i got started. As the paint dried I built two more boats and three trailers. Those will need a second coat tomorrow.

Yard sale on garden boats this coming weekend.

Fresh coffee and kettle for the night crew.

 

[_Lynn_]

Good evening.

Do you mean this one?

Inspiring (and funny as hell), except that they've forgotten that cows are all girls, and they constantly refer to them as 'he.'

So are we!

If they can get the polyps out the 'easy' way, do it. If they have to go in the hard way, tell them you want it done robotically. That's what I had and I'm recovering at an astonishing rate.

Can't say anything about Picolax but whatever they've used on me recently beats Hell out of what I had to use about 15+ years ago.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

We got snow last night. Not much, I'll admit but it's delaying the Hell out of my spring planting.

That's one of my greatest fears. I leave an old broken Sears 'Stradivarius' violin out as a decoy. (It cost US$7.50 at the junk store.) Luckily, woodpeckers stay in the forest, not on the back steps attacking decor.

One fucking thirty in the morning here in sub-freezing-burg. We turned the heater up a notch just in case mains power quits. No, we don't have a backup generator. Next season, if the med bills drop a bit... Till then, many candles. Hmm, I wonder if, in an emergency, one can burn fatty dry Chinese sausages as torches?

Coffee when appropriate. Oh no, not now. I'd be even more ruined tomorrow.

 

[Hypoxia]

Obviously we got the guy cows and the gal cows. Guy cows got dongs and gal cows don't. Sort of like literature, with fiction novels and non-fiction novels. That usage derived from graphic novels and wordless novels. Does it look sort of like a novel or a cow? Good enough. And my partner as a kid thought the singular of 'horse' was 'whore'. "Look at the whore, Mommy!"
