glass don't want to step on your toes, but though it might be a good idea to have a thread for this.

I've got the chariot to get ready, and the horses to sort, after all. Got to be prepared! grin

I'm airborne at last! The steering is tricky, as he wants to go back home, I think. Still it's not all that far. By the way I am carrying a lantern - don't want to collide with any broomsticks.....
And I just discovered that my cat is on board too, they must have made friends .....

By the way I think the booze will be there ahead of me. Don't drink it all - it's a very large and very special barrel, with a magic spell courtesy of my wizard neighbour, so that whatever you want to drink, that's it!

Damn frisbee has been a bit temperamental. I was hovering over the stones ready to land when it whizzed off again. Coming back in now.

PS There's a small crowd of ladies with pursed lips and folded arms gathering on the main road that goes past the stones. They're not with us. Shall I offer them a drugged spiced fairy cake?

Ok Annobel ready (whats asps?) I'm too old for them thingys.

glassortwo Sat 10-Mar-12 19:52:54

nanachrissy Sat 10-Mar-12 19:54:23

Oh hell heck Notso are those old grannies here as well? Just got rid of one lot!

Carol Sat 10-Mar-12 19:56:12

Coooo---eeeeHHH! Here I am....just got back from dinner out and had to force myself to eat tiramisu, knowing I would be late for my lift. Can someone whizz by, please? I've got a crate of WKds and a doggy bag full of spaghetti carbonara, although I can't see it standing the speed of a flight down to Stone Henge grin

Oxon70 Sat 10-Mar-12 19:57:20

Re the other thread (why are we on two? most confusing) I'm not there yet!

JessM Sat 10-Mar-12 19:57:54

Ok i scored some nice hippy gear in Ely market, joss sticks and a cool embroidered waistcoat and a maxi dress. The Bishop was 6ft 5 and his address was about Gok Wan's How to Look Good Naked. I am not making this up!!!! It was!!!
Great cake and fizzy wine. Cathedral was five star venue if one has to get confirmed... All very respectable and English. Just watched Wales playing so getting all woaded up. Looking forward to the hash cakes, I'm just packing my drums.

Annobel Sat 10-Mar-12 19:59:22

Coming, Carol. Since I oiled it, this broomstick goes at the speed of light. Jump on - if you can with all that ballast on board!

Notsogrand Sat 10-Mar-12 19:59:49

Decided not to share our stash fairy cakes with them. Don't want the rozzers getting involved.

Well, hey, the stones are looking good! Fab moonlight tonight as well.

jeni Sat 10-Mar-12 20:00:46

Have you just got confirmed?

glassortwo Sat 10-Mar-12 20:01:34

Wow trendy Bishop jess if you have fizz already we may have to carry you home wink

glassortwo Sat 10-Mar-12 20:02:47

Hey these Doc M's are a bit big for me, hope I dont have to run away shock

Carol Sat 10-Mar-12 20:02:51

Hi Annobel please excuse the tomato sauce down my dress - I didn't have time to get changed. Thanks for the lift. Shall I put this carbonara on, or just leave it on top of next door's car??

Oxon70 Sat 10-Mar-12 20:03:22

I am taking a break to see the moon rise. I just want to sit and watch it.

(There's also, tonight - best on Tuesday apparently - the sight of Venus very bright in the west with Jupiter above and left. And, in the east where the moon will be in a minute when it gets above the houses - Mars looking very reddish.)

....all very irrelevant but I will carry on flying when the moon is visible. I wanted to see it rise over Stonehenge, dammit.

glassortwo Sat 10-Mar-12 20:06:08

Think we will all be seeing stars with notso fairy cakes wink

Notsogrand Sat 10-Mar-12 20:10:09

Just had one glass. Feeling nice and floaty. Help yourselves everyone.

Butternut Sat 10-Mar-12 20:11:26

I can see the mooooon - no two! Damn darn, it's those fairy cakes notso .

Anyone want to share my puff candles to wave around? Yep - that's me running in and out of the stones - some copper's after me - help carol, work a decoy!! grin

Carol Sat 10-Mar-12 20:11:39

Yummmmm...these are lovely - what's the secret ingredient? Think I'll have another! grin

Annobel Sat 10-Mar-12 20:11:40

Here's Carol, wearing some carbonara already. Start as you mean to go on, I say. (swigging Drambuie from bottle).

Butternut Sat 10-Mar-12 20:13:27

Where's jeni - over at the other lot?
Freezing here without the dome...

glassortwo Sat 10-Mar-12 20:14:01

Wheres chrissy when you need her wink

Notsogrand Sat 10-Mar-12 20:14:14

I'm on my second glass of peach wine. Bit of a kick to it.

Carol Sat 10-Mar-12 20:14:30

Where's all our new Gransnetters - have we got many here yet? (spits on hand)...who wants to shake????

Butternut Sat 10-Mar-12 20:15:09

Ahh - a carbonara decoy - the fuzz will go for that.......
