T.V.'s- five menus , but high tea was different

Not quite what you might expect here,  but during the week I received my umpteenth letter from the TV licensing people, so for the fifth time I called them back to get the matter resolved.  Bad mistake,  into the 1st phone menu, press button 3 etc., 2nd menu, similar, and so on and eventually took option 4 on menu 5 to speak to a charming young Welsh !!! lady who reassured me that I would here no more (till the next time).  You certainly cannot hide from the detector vans, nearly as bad as the fleet of Google Earth motors mapping our world for all to see.

Just looking at this computer keyboard and thinking of supper time last night - when I was apparently feeding it with crackers and cheese - will need to get out the vacuum and give the keys a bit of a hoover before they get clogged up.

BUT  , BUT then again there was afternoon High Tea at the Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh, feast your eyes, nice neat little sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, and top deck of fresh cakes,  too much to eat in one session , however the staff were on hand with the wee cake box to take the leftovers home for a midnight feast.  The Caley is being refurbished and will be rebranded the Waldorf Caledonian, very nice venue for a quiet afternoons munch - AND  the breakfast is also very good.
