Tea Room the Nineteenth

All in need of a restful break and a chat are more than welcome to the nineteenth Tea Room.

We find ourselves in the South of France, where the warm sunshine is just the thing for those who are missing the summer. The tea room has its aga and its distressed chintz sofa...and its potted plants. The usual fictional tea room inhabitants are here, as ever: Mellors, the gardener/handyperson with the handy ways with massage; the collection of tea room animals including the horses, camel, bison, guineapigs and sundry others; the Bishops and other faith leaders who joined us a while back and potter in for the occasional cuppa. It may not make sense, but that's not important. What matters is the lovely people here and the chance to just relax.

I think I will pass on the food. Definitely not a hungry Donki (most unusual!). I have a sack of carrots here that will go mouldy if no-one else wants them....

JM Glad to hear that you are making an excellent recovery, and that you surgeaon is a skilled seamstress!

Unis lobs a circle.

Oh dear. Have just scorched Wriggle's beautiful Boden fairy pyjamas while warming them on the wood burner. Quite blackened and useless. She is not happy and blames Daddy (who won't even get home from work until 10pm) Hmm Looked on the Boden website to see if I could find replacements - £23!!!!! Shock Will need to have a creative idea or find a second part time employment. Was wondering if I could applique something ... In about seven years when I finish my current list of fantasies projects.

Oh dear, Serpent. Any chance of finding duplicates on Ebay?

UnSerpentQuiCourt · 17/11/2010 20:22

No. Have been trying for the last half hour. Only bright point was when scrolling past a picture of a size 0 blonde supermodel in a babydoll nightdress and Wriggle said, 'Oh, look, Mummy, it's you.' And of course the fact that she blames her father. Grin

Unis heaves a dodecahedron on to the floor, it bounces. nmbs scatter in fear of their lives.

enneadecagon rolls onto the floor . 19 nmbs tip it over and use it as a table.

I missed a huge opportunity when I was an undergrad - my final project was to use an amazing molecule-constructing computer (back in the 80s) to see how the glucose molecule fit into water structure. At the time, we believed that water structured itself rather like graphite (goodness knows why) and it was a real strain on the bonds to make it fit, so I knew it wasn't quite right - but didn't have the imagination flash of brilliance to work out the correct structure for water. But one of my lecturers was one of the people who had something to do with realising that water followed the fullerene structure (aka buckyball) a few years later, which made faaaaar more sense!

Fortunately for the Tea Room habituees, the tea room can handily accomodate the apeirogon, being of k+1 dimensions
