Holidays and being five

[triskellian]

We had a lovely week in Cornwall - we cycled places, ate seafood, pasties* and ice cream, swam in the sea estuary (that one was just me, although smiorgan did paddle), went to the Eden Project (twice) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (in the rain). Being home and at work is much less fun than being on holiday and in Cornwall

Ouch - you and me both. I wrenched my knee in the driveway yesterday, slipping on rain. (Well, I couldn't see anything specific that I stood on, it was all just wet.) I'm laid-up on the sofa as a result, feeling very annoyed.

But yay for Cornish pasties!

[triskellian]

I'd love to be laid up on the sofa instead of at work ;-) Yours sounds much worse than mine - poor you!

(One of my Cornish pasties was filled with crab and leek and I will refuse to listen to anyone who tries to tell me that Rick Stein doesn't personally hand make every pasty his shop sells. It was very yummy indeed.)

He doesn't personally toast his toasted teacakes in his café though, unless he is prone to burning them and then scraping them after somebody complains!

Not that I'm bitter or anything...

For owies.

So why might I have thought that pasties had anything to do with strippers? or should I not ask? Or should I wait til I'm older to ask?

[triskellian]

In American pasties are the things that strippers use to cover their nipples.

[chrisvenus]

That conjures up wonderful mental images. :)

Oh.

Um.

I've just got the entire original series of The Tomorrow People. So far (two stories in), there's an awful lot of unclothed men! (Which, I suppose makes a change from the underdressed women so traditional in space).

Including David "Darth" Prowse as Coppin the Android. With a white loin cloth (complete with giant red target on his crotch). And silver pasties.

I can't find any images on line! See? Even the internet has taste!

Personally, I thought they were milk bottle tops...

Did you see the story about the guy who swam at the North Pole the other day in -2C water? Made me think of you and your strange swimmage habits.

[triskellian]

I did see the story; I'm not that strange! (His water did look lovely and clear, though...)

[onyxblue1]

He said it was like a big black hole, very frightening to dive into it.

Sounds fun. Glad the weather didn't mess it up for you.

[lathany]

And hope you feel better soon.

[triskellian]

Thanks! I'm fine, just being a wuss ;-)
