Thomas and friends visit Bilbao. EXCLUSIVE!!!

Regular readers of this blog (both of you) will remember that one of the problems I have had is finding decent egg cups in Bilbao. This problem, while not at quite the same level as banishing world hunger, has been a quite significant one for me.

Fortunately I have some very good friends.

Dodie went to some lengths to get me a genuine Thomas the Tank Engine egg cup, he is the one in the middle of the photograph.

And unknown to me Mike went to great lengths to get me two white egg cups as well! They are the ones on either side of Thomas.

So now I have three egg cups!

This sudden plethora of egg cups means that any morning when I decide to have boiled eggs for breakfast I have to make some hard decisions. Is it a Thomas day when one egg will do? Or is it the sort of day when I need two eggs? Or am I feeling very hungry and think i need three? And depending on how many eggs I decide to have which egg cups should I use?

Sometimes in life it is nice to have to make decisions. Many thanks to Dodie and Mike for going to a lot of trouble. But then that is the sort of friends I tend to have.

Dodie, I'm gutted! Thomas the Tank Engine, now that was plain unfair! No way was I going to top that!

Now I'm searching for a 1972 'Uncle Bulgaria' Christmas Special egg cup on Ebay......

Are we going to start a blog battle for the most obscure items to send to Mark? The gauntlet has been well and truly laid...

I'll take that challenge only I hope you're going to play fair, with no 'Thomas' type cheating in the future?
