Wow, just about to go and make myself a nice hot and fresh coffee and the phone rings.
Answered the phone and it is the news I have been waiting for, from Home Care is ringing to tell me that on Friday the Garden Maintaining Crew will be arriving at my house to rid me of the overgrown lawn by mowing it down to a suitable height as well as removing all the accumulated weeds, etc, etc.
Just as I had returned into the house after battling my way across the weedy expanse that resembled, somewhat, a jungle to smaller birds, etc -, to hang out a couple of baskets of laundry.

And, from what I've been told by his other not so satisfied 'customers' for his new venture, aka, Matt's Lawn and Gardens where he does an hours work and then wanders off home for a few hours rest, , these guys will be doing a thorough job and will appreciate it when I call " Smokoh time" and deliver to them fresh made and HOT tea or coffee as well.

@Triphid Good service deserves appreciation and I know you will do them right. As for Evangeloon...his bridges will be burnt soon enough.
What is the origin of the word "Smokoh"? 🙂

@Betty "Smokoh," an Aussie term used by most old time manual workers such as underground miners, etc, etc, that simply means "Tea or Coffee break time."

@Triphid I keep learning something new from you. Only problem is I won't have occasions to use the new information. 🙂

@Betty May I suggest that you just "drop" such terms, etc, in to a conversation here and there and then sit back and watch for the reactions.

@Triphid I haven't been socializing lately so the opportunities are not there.

@Betty That I can truly understand, but I hold out hopes that things will change for you for the better as time goes on.

@Triphid Thank you. I appreciate your understanding and consideration. 🙂

@Betty Hey, NO need to thank me because we ARE friends are we not and that is precisely what friends are for and do for each other.

@Triphid I don't want to ever take you for granted. A true friend is to be treasured and appreciated. 🙂

@Betty As my Dad always used to tell me as a child, " True friends are like precious diamond, rich but very rare, false friends are like dead leaves, found everywhere."
You, to my mind, fit neatly in to the first category.

@Triphid I could give you a hug right now....
Your Dad and my Mom would have been great friends. They had similar values. May be that's why it is so easy to talk with you. 🙂
