Why am I picturing Lucille Ball in the mud, rolling around with an
alpaca? Of course this is just a fantasy and I'd never be able to do
it unless mister Mark would go along with it and he is more a girly
man who does not like dirt, or fixing things, nor has he ever ridden a
horse!

I don't know you'd be rolling in the mud, rather ducking their spit
balls !

Maybe not Lucille Ball, maybe Green Acres or something.
Go read "The Egg and I". That will cure you of longing for "the simple
life".

Gabor!


Now there's an image. I can just picture him and the feather boa...

I didn't know my neighbour, Splatt ('cause one day he's going to be a big,
wet....), had made it to your street.

Yep - they're even scarier on the highway cutting in and out traffic,
especially tandems, at 90 miles an hour.

As I recall, the deeper cups are for coffee and the shallower ones are for
tea.

And then, I think, there are also "breakfast cups"......

And demitasses and espresso cups and I think there might be a few others

In this household, it's all served in mugs.

My Dad was apparently waaaay ahead of his time---drank his morning coffee
from a bowl before anyone in Saskatchewan had heard of latte.

My grandfather used slurp it from the saucer. Drove my grandmother nuts, he
was teaching me bad habits.

Same here, mugs are the preferred item. My pint mug of tea is a talking
point with visitors...
A pint - as in a the size beer is served in??? Or does the mug hold a
different amber beverage????

My pint (pottery) mug holds a pint of hot, strong, sweet tea.
My pint (glass) mug holds a pint of (home brewed) beer.

I love the bit where the old chap couldn't understand why his water
tower collapsed when he cut "just a small piece" from one of the main
supports. But they bred them tough in those days!

This is somewhat interesting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Egg_and_I

A bit like Lilian Beckwith (1916 - 2004) who wrote a series of amusing
semi-autobiographical books (eg "The hills is lonely") based upon her
experiences after she moved to Skye in the 1940s. The locals were upset
because they claimed that they could be clearly identified in her books,
no court cases though.

And there is never something else in the pottery mug?


I've love to have a decent mug that size.

Great book though.



Just finished Peyton Place - another golden oldie, but the story still rings
true today.
