Lol. Good to know.
Nooo. Not those elves, the ones like the shoemaker had.
Sure. Heres one with cream and marshmallows.I have “only” 60 posts to go but could I have a cup too? Pretty please?
LOL. In the US supermarkets are big. But I’m thinking Mid-West; California might be different.
By the way, Carol. I had to google it the other day:

At work again. Work work work.
Thank you. Looks amazing. Mmmm
Beautiful.
Never tried that.
Oh what a relief.
Good afternoon all. Today I have been in the city of Westminster.
What you all call London is lots of places merged together. In the centre, on the north bank of the River Thames, are the cities of Westminster and London (Westminster being to the west of London)
We started at 55 Broadway, headquarters of what is now Transport for London (TfL). It was built in 1929 as HQ of Underground Group... it’s privately owned predecessor that brought the separate underground railway companies together.
It is billed as London’s first skyscraper, built with a steel frame in Art Deco style influenced by NYC architecture of the period. The external sculptures are by famous people like Henry Moore and Epstein who carved them in situ!

The best bit was the fabulous views from the roof - 14 floors up. This photo has most of the major landmarks.
I have identified
1. The London Eye big wheel with the “City of London” business district behind it.
2. The Shard - the current tallest building in London
3. The twin towers of Westminster Abbey
4. The tower at the House of Lords end of the Palace of Westminster - otherwise known as The Houses of Parliament. The House of Commons end has Big Ben on it, but that’s swathed in scaffolding right now (to the left of The Shard)
