More Tea Vicar

Week 10: 25/06/2012 - 01/07/2012

The big news this week was the amazing house warming gift my colleague Becky gave me. A fire engine red TEAPOT (with built in strainer obviously!). To celebrate the occasion I invited Becky and some friends round for Sunday afternoon tea.

Before that though, I had to negotiate a largely uneventful week, followed by two parties. Firstly Dylan's house party on Friday evening, which was accompanied by some fine home cooked party food. It was one of those events where I only knew the host, and he was obviously busy, so I was forced into accosting other people.... the culmination of which was a highly entertaining conversation between an Englishman, a Frenchman, a Nigerian, a Pole and a German, all talking some version of English and getting very confused if we were talking about Nasi Kang Kang or the Nazi Can Can...... very different topics, but both probably equally taboo in polite society.

Saturday was Lydia's leaving party. After some steamboat dinner, I was dragged kicking a screaming to two hours of karaoke.... TWO HOURS. It was quite frankly absolute torture. But the great news is the pain I was put through means that I will not miss the little blonde Berliner one little bit. Thanks Lydia!!

Campest tea pouring EVER (but I'm blaming the photographer on this one), with Lucy.

So Sunday rolled around and what a joyous afternoon it was. Mita brought her delicious home made scones, Corporal Lucy came with boxes of tasty baked good and Becky "The Teapot Provider" arrived with a brand new hair cut. I provided the finest Cameron Highlands tea, and we spent a sunny afternoon on my balcony being ever so sophisticated.

Ooooh, new hair do for the tea party. Nice one Becky.

Steady hand Becky strikes again... Mita in tea drinking mode.
