Ah, it brings a tear to the eye, look at the old place.It’s just as it was on the day we moved out, it’s a bit dusty....cough cough though.

No soop it’s Monty and you’ve gone and got yourself all entwined round him. Poor man can’t move. Those knickers of yours have got him in a headlock ?

Doodle Thu 18-Jun-20 20:25:23

Yes lemon I think I’ll have ......... one of everything to start with. ?

lemongrove Thu 18-Jun-20 21:58:44

It’s a funny thing but on checking the cellar I find we are completely out of gin! We had a delivery of two crates of the stuff last Friday, where’s it gone?
Soop and Carillion have gone too..... could the two things be connected??

lemongrove Thu 18-Jun-20 22:01:40

Coming up Doodle ????? you can certainly hold your booze.
What ‘night’ shall we have on Friday, Spanish Night, Welsh Night, Australian Night, whaddya think?

soop Thu 18-Jun-20 22:11:33

Callistemon Thu 18-Jun-20 23:06:21

Australian night!! Count me in, cobber.
I'll bring me swag ready for a sleepover and some stubbies for the barbie.

soop what are you doing up at this time of night consorting with this drunken lot of reprobates? shock

lemongrove Thu 18-Jun-20 23:17:22

We wouldn’t want to cook your ciggie stubs Call ?
But you can certainly bring a few prawns for the barbie and some amber nectar.
That’s settled then, OZ NITE on Friday night. Am off to practise my Waltzing Mathilda....

lemongrove Thu 18-Jun-20 23:18:24

Soop is the drunken reprobate.....she’s had all me gin!

lemongrove Thu 18-Jun-20 23:19:22

......and poor old Monty Don will never be the same.

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 00:20:48

A stubbie is a bottle of beer, lemon ?

Shall I bring my Auntie Edna from Melbourne, she loves a good party and has some fab frocks?

Doodle Fri 19-Jun-20 00:34:58

Oh goody Aussie night. I love a barbie. Never heard of stubbies callistemon. Oh yes please bring Auntie Edna. She’ll fit in really well with the Argy crowd ?.
I want one of those hats with all the corks on. I’ll misread have to keep opening bottles till I have enough corks ...?

Stubbies are tinnies in a glass bottle.

Doodle Fri 19-Jun-20 00:38:09

Doodle Fri 19-Jun-20 00:39:12

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 00:39:19

Ps I'll bring Moreton Bay bugs.

lemongrove Fri 19-Jun-20 09:59:42

Is that a rock group Call ??
Am in early to prepare the bar for tonight, the old Nespresso machine is on if anyone wants coffee cafe and help yourselves to a dash of rum ( but go easy, you need to pace yourselves today.)

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 10:11:13

It's food, lemongrove! We can throw them on the barbie.

Although, perhaps we do need a rock band to liven things up

The Perth Punkies?
Botany Bay Rockers?
Sydney and the Sex Symbols?

Carillion01 Fri 19-Jun-20 10:16:58

Now your talkin my lingo...Oz night!!!
How many minutes left till it starts...

I’ll bring some Summer Bay gin and a selection of critters to chuck on the barbs

Carillion01 Fri 19-Jun-20 10:25:00

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 10:28:40

Callistemon Fri 19-Jun-20 10:29:59
