tea room 36 - Teh Alpine Chalet

[UniS]

Welcome to the Tea rooms newest incarnation. A cozy log cabin with a roaring log fire, comfy chintz sofas and a dedicated man about the house, our Butler, Mellors. Out of the windows you can see sparkling white snow gently drifted up under the green Christmas trees and bright blue skies. Children can all be packed off to play healthy outdoor stuff while we stay snug n warm in here with our mulled wine, tea,artisan hot chocolate and other beverages served in mugs, glasses or buckets.

The usual rules apply - no fisticuffs. And no messing with the aspidistra.

Actually, Donki, let me at MrDonki -- I'm so grumpy I'd probably shred him to pieces with little effort.

MrDonki is trying to make amends by taking us out for Saturday lunch...

I felt much better after telling him how I felt.

I said I was surprised how angry I felt - and pause and said that on reflection the words 'surprised how angry' should be replaced by 'absolutely fucking livid'. All said in a quiet and calm tone of voice!

'Twas more effective because I rarely swear and I never use the F word.

Even though I didn't shout, it has helped me to deal with my feelings.

but I still want to shake him until his brains rattle - and kill the OW

So MC and SB are welcome to come and stomp him in heavy and spikey footwear

• and I have been eyeing up cross country mud studs to put in my donkey horse shoes before I unloose a few double barreled kicks aimed at just below waist height.

And if you still feel like shredding him, I could tell you where he works..

It's beautifully sunny this morning - I hope that you can go for a stomp in the countryside and get some frustration out!

Going out for a (cautious) stomp with a friend and their dog :)

I am beastly today. MrDonki might not survive!

Trying not to be too grumpy with the YD thia evening.

I survived the YD's friend coming round and both of them Minecrafting obsessively, and getting the YD to bed without losing it, but am definitely rather umm irritable this evening.

Perhaps getting more than 4 hours sleep a night would help? I just can't seem to stay asleep at the moment.

Maybe Mellors could give me a good withers and ear rub to relax me.

?Drags in a bale of lavender straw to see if it helps me to sleep?

Yes, lack of sleep is bound to aggravate the situation . You have my sympathies.

Can Donkis climb onto massage tables?

::Mellors packs a huge bag with folding massage table, soothing oils and fluffy white towels::

?Lays self down with a contended sigh?

At least I'll get some of the knots out and smell nice, even if I don't sleep...

It doesn't help that MrDonki is "out" again.

If he is not careful in his existential swithering he will have made the decision by default, assisted by Donki's hooves at a little below waist height.

Argh. That's not good (by which I mean the swithering and the going out. The hooves to the groin may not be good in the strictly legal sense but no jury of your peers would convict you).

Good Morning!

?Blearily puts out breakfast buffet with a huge vat of strong tea (decaff for those who need it)?

?Sweeps fragrant lavender straw back into a neat pile?

It smells nice, but it's a bit scratchy compared to a nice soft pile of meadow hay.

Donki try these - might take a day or two to kick in but they definitely help with stress - a big Boots would have them or a health food shop possibly.

Does H realise that he is actioning his way out of options? In his present state of mind it might need spelling out for him (preferably with a frying pan, but that probably isn't legal). With all this 'woe is me' attitude he probably hasn't thought about what you might be feeling.

Oooh and there's a fantastic acupuncturist in C.A. so not too far.

C.A.?

I will look for your other suggestion when I go shopping later.

Justa suggested Melatonin.

Thank you Mistle -and everyone else too. The Mobile Le Creuset rapid reaction force is much appreciated, and brings a smile to my face when I picture you all, frying pans at the ready

And frankly, the NMBs are just terrifying!

good news from dh. he has had an all clear on the test results. no idea what the problem was but he's not worried any more. hurrah.

Oh, wonderful!
So pleased for you.

That's great news, UniS.

?Puts out special weekend breakfast buffet with full English as well as fruit, croissants, cereals, porridge with cream, and anthing else which might be wanted.?

What have the NMBs been upto now? They are all crashed on the sofa with their mini frying pans and smell suspiciously of whisky...

They also appear to be covered in war paint.

it seems the nmbs have been on maneuvers. Donki , do plants in you garden look a bit battered at ankle height?

I think the NMBs have been practicing their formation frying pan swinging.

::tucks into buffet::

Yum.

UniS
Now that you come to mention it...

I had been blaming rampaging squirrels
