Cooking up a Storm
Friday, November 11th, 2011When I am preparing food, I prefer to ask people round to sample my efforts. There’s nowt better than making dinner and devouring it with pals. The bit I like especially would be the cheeseboard.
And it’s normally the most straightforward bit! Once everything is prepared, I plate it up on my old dining room table. You are still able to buy those: they are a furniture classic.

Our dinner table in the dining-room has been mine for a long time. One of the legs is rickety, and while once it would expand to seat 15 people, these days you cannot do this since it may topple over. Nevertheless I enjoy keeping it about the abode, we have had loads of entertaining together.
I’ve had so many extended, tedious conversations until the wee hours whilst sat at that table. It has to have learned loads.
In fact, if it’s been taking it all in, it will be a specialist in political science and art by now: as well as complete balderdash.
My chair isn’t to be sat in by anyone else. It is my chair, and it’s been in my flat for a long time. It may be a bit old now, to be fair, however I think that it has a certain dignity. After I get home from the workplace I tend to get myself a mug of English Breakfast plus a selection of savoury biscuits and relax in my chair, having a listen to the radio. Usually I will snooze for 10 mins, and if I get that quick nap, I’m in smashing fettle til bedtime. As a youngster, I would work nine hours each day and stay on the ball and full of life.
But these days I need to go home for a nap to keep me going.
