An international afternoon...

[meriad]

sitting here in my lounge (in the UK) on my sofa that was made in Asia somewhere, sipping a glass of German red wine, nibbling on some crisps from South Africa, watching a programme about Australia.... Only thing I need now is something from either North or South America and I've covered the five continents...

[saundra]

some grapes from south america or kye lime pie perhapes
ho yummy
as an after thought think

i will have cheese on t oast (red leicester)english
and a bailys (irish) while watching the midwives on tv

[tonicha]

I'm sat here drinking German beer, wearing an English fleece, Portuguese socks and slippers, Chinese jeans so I'm not helping much

[Kaz]

I have no idea where my sofa was made - we bought it from Cheltenham though

The telly and my netbook are Japanese and our dog is German!

[tonicha]

And Grumpy is a quarter French, even with our surname which is very German

Right, I'm off to try this oven, will report back later.

Oh, and I'm not sure where the oven is from, the lemons are from our garden, the chicken is from our neighbours garden ( thank you muchly xx) the garlic is from Spain and the veg are local ish.

[meriad]

LOL Kaz, the only reason I know my sofa was made in Asia somewhere was because when I tried to cancel the order I was told in no uncertain terms I couldn't cancel as the sofa had already been made and was on a ship from Asia to the UK....

[Kaz]

Becks is 1/8th German on her Dad's side I'm mostly English with a smattering of Irish and Mick is half Gloucester, half Essex

Good luck with the new oven

Ah I see Ria - are you pleased with it now it's here though?

[JoM]

No idea where my sofa is from but I'm using an iPad from China whilst watching weather from the Arctic through the window, drinking coffee from Colombia and listening to John chat on the phone to the mother in law from hell

[Kaz]

Jo you win! It doesn't get much more international than that!

[meriad]

Jo, that is definitely VERY international

Kaz, yes - the sofa arrived the first week in January and it is very very comfy. A lot lot smaller than what I had so it's taking getting used to but I'm loving the reclining function; but have to be careful the cats don't hide under the sofa when the footrest is up
