Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

Lambyr

I know! This is some serious finger-tingling, shaky arms, "Oh my!" stuff for me!

A friend who has some contacts in indie film/TV has been asked to do the same thing. Apparently there's a couple of spots available and he recommended me for one of them.

I must buy him a cake if I get the job!

Izadora

Lambyr, that sounds very exciting and definitely a good way to get over being tired!!!

Tea - I love Shed 7. I'm still trying to convince IzHe to let me paint a big '7' on the side of our shed

Haha, you should do it Iz! They are great - and so good live. Think I've seen them 4 or 5 times over the last 20 years and they were as good last night as when I first saw them at festivals.

Shed Seven, now there's a blast from the past! Although I don't think I could even name one of their songs tbh

That's exciting news Lambyr! :j Well done! :T

Where's the sunshine gone? I knew ordering that bench (which is coming today apparently) would bring on the rain....

Thank you! I should probably give you all a bit of a thank you! It was encouragement and support from here that got my bum in gear to do the website, which is where I put up my screenplay and a short story that convinced the right people to give me this chance!

So yeah, thank you!

And do you wanna swap places? The sun is out in force here again. I'm a mucky, sweaty mess again and I'm positive it's hotter than yesterday again. *grumble, grumble*

Yes please! I love it in our back garden when it's sunny and warm as it is a real sun trap. I could get my washing pegged out without fear it might rain again, and it could build this seat whilst enjoying the lovely weather.

V sunny and hot again here now - which I now I should be more pleased about as it's nearly the weekend, but all I can focus on is the amount of house cleaning I need to do when I get in at 6pm.

So you mainly make the coffee with hot water & add a little cold milk? What if you like a lot of milk, but still want hot coffee? It's one of those things that never occur to you, that there are so many ways of making a simple cup of instant coffee! I just presumed most people would use the microwave method these days. Oh, it's so much simpler just to make a pot of tea!
Mind you, I have heard strange rumours that some people don't use a teapot. How on earth can you make a proper cup of tea without a teapot? I am proper old school, I don't even use tea bags.

(there should be a selection of confused & winking smileys above, to show it's true but still a bit tongue in cheek!)

SJ - you sound like my parents who insist tea be made in a pot and that they can tell the difference.

People have milk steamers and you can get the home coffee machines that make lattes and such. I don't drink tea or coffee.

:rotfl: at the English people complaining about rain.

Panic over. I think it was a combination of 'Oh my god, has he been looking at my profile', panic (will he think I was looking at his profile) and rejection (he doesn't even want to acknowledge that he knows me, not that I want to be his facebook friend but who doesn't want to be picked?) . Plus, as much as I love Mr CP and would never cheat, its sometimes nice to think someone might be interested. The curse of the unpretty fat girl.

Well I personally rarely drink instant coffee (I know, lar-de-dar indeed!). My usual is ground coffee in a cafetiere. Takes a bit longer but I've yet to find an instant coffee that comes close to it in flavour!

And cos I'm doing this for the taste of the coffee, I don't add that much milk to it. No more than you'd find in the average little pot of milk you get at a cafe. I don't add sugar either.

Obviously though my mum prefers your method cos that's what she has. A mug of hot milk with coffee in it. I'm not adverse to drinking milky coffee - I like a nice cappuccino, but we've not got the equipment to make good ones in the house. Nescafe do these sachets of instant mocha and cappuccino using dried milk. I like the mocha one enough, although it's more like a bitter hot chocolate than a proper mocha. The cappuccino one is satisfactory but nothing to get too excited about.

I don't have a teapot. I'm not a tea drinker though. Mum is but she's happy enough with water from the kettle.
