Delivery day (2 Viewers)

[NZGary]

Hi Treefrogers

Yesterday at about midday I stepped out of study, where I was home working, to grab a cup of coffee. As I put the kettle on the reassuring sight of a FedEx delivery van pulled up in my driveway.

I had chance this morning to check the contents but will take a closer look at the weekend and add to my toy soldier inventory.

Another big order superbly handled by Clive at Grey Goose.

Happy days

Gary

WOW Gary! That's quite the delivery. My order of March releases (GGMI-10, GG99-04, and GGZ-10) pales in comparison. Congratulations on that haul.

Sounds nice, I am watching footy (soccer) in bed. Didn't like Vegemite when living in Tassie. I have Marmite on toast as one of my breakfast options.

Soccer, a Womens sport Why am I hearing Tom Baker's voice when I say that

I've never tried Marmite but assumed it would taste much the same as Vegemite.

FYI in 'my family' we pronounced Scone as rhyming with 'Gone' not the drawn out 'Cone', and of course the Cream must be put on Top of the Jam

Quite right We are not keen on the Cornish style of cream tea.

Absolutely, we use fresh whipped cream inlieu of clotted cream, and prefer no butter on the scones and no milk in the tea. I can still enjoy Cream teas locally as I live in a traditional dairy region that subsequently embraced the tourist industry, but I have to say the place is getting very busy lately.
