Tea Time?

Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 70.
The associations here are obscure - Cheshire Cat, the character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, directs Alice to the 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party'. The tea party is perpetual because the Hatter has fallen out with Time and it is always tea time, 6 o'clock. Also, the White Rabbit in that story carries a pocket watch. All this is really just for my own amusement!
The pocket watch was assayed in Birmingham in 1907.
