Afternoon tea? Crumpets and chat? Pop in and have a bit of whatwhat. It's pleasant and refreshing, I swear.
Check this out. Sunday I came home from getting breakfast (two eggs on a roll, coffee, the NYT), and the lady who lives in the basement apartment asked me whether I had received any mail.
"It's Sunday," I said.
"Yes, but, okay. Do you have problems getting your mail?"
I told her I had, indeed, had problems, ever since I moved in a few months ago. I'm not sure, but I think the postman throws away mail out of laziness or spite.
"Oh, I don't care. I'm not living here anymore," she interrupted.
Now, I'm not used to folks asking questions and then interrupting me to tell me they don't care about my answers, so I said, "In that case, never mind," and walked upstairs.
and to that i have to say:
to bra or not to bra? that is the question
this it nobler to bod to bear the slings and darts of man made technology
or wear some odd contraption of my own as i wonder whether to be presentable to the meatworld at large
