upside down....
excerpts from tea time conversation last sundayGym : this rain is so depressing...I really feel like staying in bed all day
Lyn : so are you still having a birthday party at the end of the month ?
Gym : of course, I am ! and the theme is the circus....what you think ? could be funny...well I don't know.....as long as you come dressed....
me (on the computer) : why can't I burn the f... CD ?
Lyn : dressed up
me (to Gym) : so you don't eat your cake ?
Gym : I don't know....mmm...is it cooked ?
me : but of course, it's cooked ! Lyn, do you want some more tea ?
Lyn : yes, please....I think the cake is good.....may be it's because it's so white and you think it's not cooked enough
me : oh..it's because I put it upside down (tossing the cake)...look...it's actually brown and quite burnt on the top
Gym (jokingly) : ah that's better ! still it really tastes like raw eggs and raw flour....
me (laughing) : oh come on...it's just a plain génoise....! and I do it all the time but it's true, it's quite bland....
Lyn : I quite like it with some jam on it...
Tim (to me) : so do you still want me to do this podcast for you ?
me : oh yeah sure....! do it now !
......
Gym : .....I mean , doesnt' the world look upside down right now ?.....
Lyn : I know...everybody's struggling....everywhere
me: I heard the Spanish press was in a terrible state...didn't know
Gym : and who's got a job anyway ?
me : oh come on....well actually, my sister lost her job last week...Well she didn't really lose her job completely but the publishing company she works for told her : look, we can still employ you but on a freelance basis
Lyn : oh God !
Tim : Lala, how do you want this podcast to look like ?
me : funny how I can never manage to bake a good spongy génoise
.....

Lyn : eh, this is a really nice fabric you have here....me : oh this ?....it's a sheet ! I know it shouldn't be here....am a bit messy at the moment...
Tim : It seems I can't do this podcast...how weird....
me : I got this phone call last week from one of the organizers of the Workshop tradeshow in Paris. She said, look there are still some stands left for the march session if you want
Lyn : so are you going ?
me : are you crazy ? I told her I wasn't ready to commit suicide yet...
(we laugh)
me : no...I think it's more reasonable to wait for october.....
phone rings
me : I bet it's Monchéri saying he's late
Lyn : as usual
me : Holà cariño !
(Monchéri says he's arriving with some good old movies)
Tim : oh...but we've got to go now ! and tell him he can give me my Xmas present next time we meet !
.....
Oh I do love teas on sundays with my friends and a piece of semi-cooked génoise !
I've been busy on monday and a bit gloomy too so I rather felt like posting something light today.
On a frivolous note, how do you like my new handmade ring (the one with the little pearls) ? Not really marketable yet because it needs some improvement but somehow, I like it this way....

Thank you very much for your concern for Madagascar.
you bet I definitely post about it in a couple of days
Wish you a serene start of the week and certainly not upside down !
pics : my favorite tea cups and teapot which everybody laughs at because it looks more like a tureen

Gloomy Monday...mmm, yes, same here. Thanks for leaving a message on our blog. Nos dieron unas noticias bastante malas ayer y estamos intentando "digerirlas" y mantener una actitud positiva. Life is a mystery, isn't it? Saludos, Lala... y ánimo, el resto de la semana will be better!
Praying for Madagascar. Looking forward to your post.
Much love,
C
Looks like you had a lovely tea. Your tea service looks beautiful. I wish I could have seen more of the teapot. I love teapots and collect them. It's a long time since I have had friends over for tea, but it has been on my mind lately.
We are having another snowy day, so it is beautiful. Because I live on the side of a hill, I can't send out invitations until I know I'll have a clear driveway.
Love to you -
Catherine
The cake, oh well...it's nice to have anything with tea...
and your conversation is hilarious. I hope the movies Moncheri brought home were fun.
xoxo!
I like the picture..it gives another meaning to the post.
Now I am waiting for your next post as we are going Politics...I love it!
My wife is so curious and wants to know what is it?
I hope by the time you read this a few days late that things are better. Your ring is so sweet!
Praying for Madagascar and looking forward to your post..:)
