The Conference Table

This rickety table is set on a patio just outside the crewroom.

In good weather it is an important table, around which rumours are started, banter exchanged, advice given, jobs discussed, decisions made, funny anecdotes told, meals eaten, partially drunk tea cups abandoned, kit piled while waiting or going, confessions taken, confidences tested, suspect plants left ....

After a hot muggy morning, it rained this afternoon and for a while it was nice to sit at the table and experience the wonderful cooling showers and scents that passed over.
