All quiet …
It has been all quiet on the Pie Front of late however this does not mean that the Pie Fund is in neglect. In fact the pie fund is quite healthy as can be seen. (NB pie fund is in sterling not USD coz that wouldn’t be very much money at all!)
Furthermore, news reaches me from the West that Sharon is primed and ready for pie making, with pinny * on, spatchula in hand, bowl under arm. Actually, Sharon will be using a special automated pie making, mixing gadget.
I did undertake some pie investigations while in the other Washington, the non-West one, but there was not a single slice to be found. However, if you wanted a raspberry, cheese croissant … well that was a different matter (I kid you not!)
* cultural note: pinny = apron.

Hi Sandy! Nice to have found you again! I’ve been cycling to Liberton Hospital recently. The first time I tried to get my bike up Kirk Brae, I got off when someone passed me walking on the pavement! Hope all’s well with you and the chef. Tell him I was asking after him. Hotboy

Dear Hotboy
Hellloooo. Liberton is v steep. When I cycle there I usually cry and kick and scream at the side of the road.
Chef-ie is on good form.
I am going to see the Dalai Lama when in America. I am v excited. What shall I ask him?

Sandy: I couldn’t find this before because it’s a www thing and not a blogspot or livejournal. Hmmm? You could ask the Dally for a mantra to protect you from yon big Jeepers Creepers thing that appears in the middle of the road in America, or what direction to take when your deid, after many decades of course. I’d ask him to be my guru in my next life, but I’m not that cheeky! Ask him if he can go instantly breathless. Ask him if he’s ever floated and would weightlessness be compatible with cycling, or is it cheating? I’m going to cycle up yon bloody hill today. I wouldn’t mind floating up it! Hope the rain stays off! Hotboy

In Washington, District of Columbia, there was recently a good bakery just east of the Dupont Circle Metro Stop. Sharon and I cannot remember if they have pie, but we have bought loaves of bread from them.
The Dali Lama was just in Seattle but none of my pals had tickets. We got to hear his comments on the radio however.
