Fred Astaire would have beaten Nijinsky in the Parade Ring – just for starters. Had the pleasure of seeing him face to face in 1973 he was wearing a red carnation I was wearing a 10 dollar bill. Well outclassed I’m afraid – never got out of the stalls.
Yes Tippi – Millie was something else. Everybody loved her a bit like Hattie Jacques !
A bit of an emergency this morning I ran out of milk. Popped out begrudgingly to M&S and bought some – in fact 2×2 pints, as I ran out 2 days ago. I hate going out in the morning when working types are filling the streets. When I got back realised I had run out of PG but luckily had bought some loose tea in error a few weeks back.
I couldn’t find a tea strainer so used a garlic presser to strain. That worked ok but the loose tea wasn’t great – you can’t beat a pyramid bag as apparently they select the young shoots. I dont know about that, but the loose tea tasted – well a bit loose.
The photo wasn’t sent in a PM. It was a discussion on a thread and VTC must surely remember trying to make it my avatar even though it was some time ago.
