The Tea Book

Decided to get the book from the library. Can't think of the proper name for it at the mo, you know, Tea Roses for Warm Climates I think. I did give the library the right name though, and its ISBN too, but you know what?? I have to wait until four other people have had it! I am the fifth person to order it!
Now come on you lot! hand it back quickly. Don't leave it lying around the house and forget to return it because if you all have it for your full allotted three weeks each, it will be three months before I can have a peep at it.

Wanna borrow mine instead?

That is really nice of you Simon, you are really very kind but the cost of the postage both ways could be a good deposit on a book of my own which I am not ready for just yet so I will just grumble and wait my turn.
As long as you all know I am suffering.

Ah! Poor Dee, just ring me and I will read it over the 'phone to you. If you have a birthday coming up you could put it on your wish list. But You should have put in the request for Mothers Day. Good luck with your wish list. I want a Greenhouse. Carole

Dee, I will pay the postage on Simon's book or I will send you mine, no problem.

You are all more than kind and you have given me a good idea Carole. Actually it is Bill's birthday tomorrow. I could buy it for him.
On second thoughts I have already bought him the Fawlty Towers dvd so he can't have two presents.
Your kindness overwhelms me Roseman but it is not that I can't put my hand on $20, it is Meanness that is my guiding star.
And I like to moan too.

Dee, I really think you should rush out tomorrow and buy him the Tea book for his birthday. Then just before your birthday or Christmas which ever comes first Keep reminding him how geneROSE you were on his birthday .Just hope doesn't remember who really wanted the book Good luck Carole

Ha, ha! I could try.

Dee, give me your address and will send mine, unless Simon beats me and my offer stands.

Dee, Wish Bill a Very Happy Birthday From us. (Carole and Roseman)

Wish Bill a very happy birthday from abbi and Mr A too

Bill says Thankyou. We went to a double birthday tea tonight where the other celebrator is 9 but their birthdays are on the same day. We ate roll-ups and fruit cake with whipped cream and drank sparkling grape juice.

Then came home to 6 happy birthday phone messages. I think he feels very loved.
Bill says to tell you the two numbers of his age add up to 9 like his little friend.

Hey Bill.. happy birthday from us too ... I didn't know he was 45?

Or is it 18?

He must be 27 Simon....to add up to 9

Could it be a number between 53 & 55

I hope I am not letting the cat out of bag!. I am sure Bill is 36 Glad everyone had a great day. Carole.

You are all so right. He is getting younger all the time.
He is showing all the signs of second childhood.
