Hello! I am seeking shelter in the CDR to recover from our holiday! You don't mind if I bring my massive mug of tea in with me do you? We just got back.

We had a wonderful time in the sun with plenty of cheese and wine in Uzès in Languesdoc Rousillon, but it's one heck of a drive back (750 miles over 2 days). We drove around 600 miles to Reims yesterday and then the rest today. Minor delays at the Channel Tunnel only which was good.

Welcome back! Hope you had a good rest!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thanks for the warm welcome

The Chaumes seems to have survived the journey without mugging me as soon as I opened the cold box. It was sealed in cling film and a plastic bag to help prevent its worst odours from forcing customs and excise to imprison both us and it. For those not familar with Chaumes cheese, it can get very smelly and runny when over-ripe. It needs to be kept very cold!

Things are heading for organised here. Car unloaded, Joe found (Since when has he started sleeping under the Japanese Maple?! He looks I fine fettle thanks to my well trained neighbours), Mums phoned and a second mug of tea consumed.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Are you recovering now?

No, no, I'm fine, that was a couple of years back, TB. Not good, but mostly recovered now.
Chaumes is a ten out of ten cheese, truly yummy, but yes, it can be used in hand to hand combat with some efficacy.
Glad Joe's happy and well.
I'm sure the neighbours did a good job, but he'll be happy to have the 'food goddess' back.

Are we taking a real flying helicopter here?

Good evening Lyn.

Nice question there, knowing....Adam.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Me too!
I don't like Olives though - nor Popeyes

Spinach ?

 

[Gillian M]

It flew, yes.

Hi Adam, what of the PAST TENSE there?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

there could be mirrors on the ceiling but we are unable to tell.

is there pink champagne on ice???

When i worked briefly as cover manager for Sainsbury's in Chelsea, we sold more bottles of pink champagne than cans of beans.
Don't think there's any in The Cold Dark Room though.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

whats pink and smells of olive???


... popeyes ( insert rest of punchline )

Popeye's pink champagne, of course!

Funny you should say that, but that's the answer to the next question about red ants in Thailand.
They pour them into an open wound and the ants secrete an acid that is antiseptic and painkilling.
I've seen this done.

That must be worth loads of points then!

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

Oh yes it was a nice long walk, which Oli did enjoy thank GOD. Oli seems to be a totally different tort when we're outside.
