Entry for 28th December, 2007

Welcome to the Blog of the Kindly Cuppa
40 Cups of Tea With 40 Friends
is my goal in life.
And it must be done before 10th July.
Click here to find out why.
If you would like to be my friend and earn a QCT (Qualifying Cup of Tea) then let me know.
No. of QCTs to date: 2
My friend The Adviser has joined me for a cup of tea, and here we are enjoying a refreshing cuppa in my living room. Thus he has taken me 10% of the way to the target of 40. This is a promising start, but I still need more tea-drinking friends.
The picture does not adequately convey the chaos which surrounded us. The flat-pack television unit was still strewn around the floor like a jigsaw puzzle on boxing day, and my children were alternately throwing tantrums. In fairness, this was probably nurture rather than nature – they had no doubt been observing my own behaviour as I tried to construct the hateful piece of furniture.
The Adviser and I once played in a band together, and we still get together now and again with guitars for a bit of a session. As we age, this seems to be less about the music, and more about getting together for a cup of tea and a chat. I am sure that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards will agree that there comes an age when a Blue Ribband biscuit and a nice cuppa, are preferable to lugging amps and drum kits into a decrepit rehearsal room in Whiteinch.
Anyway, I must be going. I have a self-build television unit to finish.
