The Cheese Board
November 11th, 2011When I am preparing food, I like to invite folk around to sample my attempts.
There is nowt more fun than preparing dinner and sharing it with friends. The part I like particularly is the cheese board. Plus it is even the most straightforward part! After all the stuff is prepared, I plate it up on my beloved dining-room table.
You’re still able to buy them: they are a furniture icon.
Get tables at dining-sets.org.
The dinner table in the kitchen has been mine for decades.
One leg is wobbly, and whilst it used to expand to seat ten diners, nowadays you cannot do that because it might collapse.
None the less I like having it around the flat, we have experienced lots of laughs together.
I’ve had tons of lengthy, boring conversations until the wee hours while sat at the dinner table. It must have learned loads. Actually, if it’s been taking it all in, it’ll be an expert in political science and cultural studies over the years: plus total rubbish.
The chair is not to be utilised by anyone except me. It’s mine, and it’s been with me for years. It looks a touch old now, in all honesty, but I believe that it retains a certain style. Once I get home from work I love to get myself a cup of coffee and a few oat-cakes and sit in my armchair, having a listen to the wireless.
Usually I shall fall asleep for twenty minutes, and as long as I have that brief nap, I am in smashing fettle til bedtime. In my youth, I’d work 9 hrs a day and stay wide awake and full of life. But these days I need to go back to the flat for a snooze to keep me going.
