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.

lemongrove Sun 21-Jun-20 19:18:25

Oooh goody gumdrops, Spanish Nite.Shall we put out a sign saying bordello, or is it bodega??
The big clean up on Monday ( Doodle and Lins are first on the rota!) and thinking caps on ( sombreros) about what we can ask Soop to cook and bake for us.Ole!

Lins1066 Sun 21-Jun-20 20:06:51

Blimey first on the rota again*lemon*?
I've dug out my dusters and some brasso, digging out Doodle may be a bit more problematic.
Will have a conflab about what to ask soop to burncook.

Doodle Sun 21-Jun-20 20:23:20

Oh not cleaning again lins. Is the brasso you’re talking about me by any chance ?. I’ll have you know I’m a reformed character. I don’t do that any more ?

Lins1066 Sun 21-Jun-20 21:15:45

No not you Doodle, I know brasso cos it's in a stripey tin.
You're a hussey which rhymes with brassy.
You bring whatever cleaning materials you have, we have to get the place spick and span for the flamenco practice tomorrow night or soop will get her knickers in a twist again.

Doodle Sun 21-Jun-20 22:06:22

On with my marigolds again. Why am I always on cleaning duty. I am not doing the toilets ?

Lins1066 Sun 21-Jun-20 23:08:02

Why is is always us doing the scrubbing Doodle? Where's everyone else?
? Come to think of it, you never do the toilets......

Doodle Sun 21-Jun-20 23:28:17

? sorry lins we you talking to me. I didn’t hear what you said . I’ll clean the bar then shall I ??

Lins1066 Mon 22-Jun-20 01:39:28

Well let's face it that's the only way you'll be called to the bar Doodle ?

Doodle Mon 22-Jun-20 10:46:29

lins so true grin. Bar clean and tidy now. What would you like?

soop Mon 22-Jun-20 13:45:28

Make mine a pint of poteen with a cherry and a wee umbrella thingy. Classy, that's me.

Lins1066 Mon 22-Jun-20 14:18:25

I'll have what soop's having please Doodle. That reminds me of that film When Harry Met Sally was it? ?
And we'll have two cow pies please.

soop Mon 22-Jun-20 17:02:44

Lins I want my cow pie with the horns attached. Remember Desperate Dan? Or are you far too young? wink

Carillion01 Mon 22-Jun-20 19:45:41

Yum scrum!!! Any cow pie left soop?
Desperate Dan...ahhh! the memories. Do you think Doodle aka Beryl the Peril will remember...Oh but that tale is for another day...

Okey dokey, who is getting the soirée started? I’VE CLEANED THE WATER CLOSETS since Doodle and me old mucker Lins have been on a go slow.

I’ll have a gin and something please bartender, as long as it comes in a pint glass and has that posh feverfew sparkly with it, and I want a straw and a slice of one of those prickly pear shaped things that fell out of the Admiral’s trouser pockets.

A Barcelona Mule as a chaser too please, trying to pace myself for Friday’s Hacienda Night, anyone want the name of a good shoemaker for Friday’s dance off... ???????
(I lurve my stilettos)

Doodle Mon 22-Jun-20 19:59:50

Slow down all of you I’ve only one pair of hands.
I’m running the kitchen and bar on my own at the moment. No idea where lemon is.
I need to go into town to get my glasses fixed. Can’t see a thing without them.
Now who ordered the cow pats, that’s soop, lins and carillion. So three cow pats one with horns. Do all of you want chips with that ?

Carillion01 Mon 22-Jun-20 20:09:19

I’ll get behind the bar to help you Doodle (she says so she doesn’t have to eat one of Doodles famous cowpats).

Lemon is apparently having a fitting for her flamenco dress, the one with the alligator tail...she’s keeping the colour a secret...????

Doodle Mon 22-Jun-20 22:12:17

Thanks carillion I could do with a hand.
I wonder if soop has got the clappers yet?

Lins1066 Mon 22-Jun-20 22:43:15

I remember Desperate Dan and his cow pie soop I'm not as young as I look sadly. That's the only way to eat cow pie, second helpings please, any left? Deffo with chips Doodle, with salt and lashings of vinegar. Did you get your glasses fixed? The Admiral left a monocle somewhere.........??

Early night tonight I'm bushed after all that deep cleaning.

Carillion01 Mon 22-Jun-20 22:54:19

Don't worry Lins, get some zzzzzzzzz... I've been designing a few frocks lately...(got the push) moved on from being a celeb photographer.

I'll rustle up something for you for Friday night's Soirée Espagniole. Nearly finished lemon and Doodles, ...*soop*s already made her own....any colour you desire...?

lemongrove Mon 22-Jun-20 23:20:51

My flamenco dress fitting ( as usual, with Madame Pom Pom down by the gasworks) was a secret Carillion angry you sure have a big mouth when you’ve had a few!
Since everybody now knows about it, the colour is tangerine.
I look amazing, and may even flash my castanets on Friday.

Lins1066 Mon 22-Jun-20 23:20:57

I'm having a purple patch Carillion ?

Doodle Mon 22-Jun-20 23:28:15

lemon are you sure it’s wise to have a dress made the same colour as your skin?
lins here’s your cow pat and chips. Couldn’t find the vinegar so I put some brown ale on it instead. No salt either so I sprinkled some vim over it all. Should be quite tasty ?
carillion I hope my frock will be tasteful and demure just like my personality. ?

lemongrove Mon 22-Jun-20 23:41:47

I didn’t want it to clash Doodle and I am having my hair dyed to match! ?

Doodle Tue 23-Jun-20 18:41:54

Goodness lemon you’ll look like a carrot. Perhaps you should save your outfit for ‘Dress like a vegetable week’ ?

Doodle Wed 24-Jun-20 19:56:09

My flamenco dress is red and white. If I spin round quickly I look like a barbers pole ?. I have lovely stompy shoes and castanets that make quite a racket so it won’t be a quiet night Friday. Looking forward to it. How about you carrot ??

lemongrove Wed 24-Jun-20 20:37:36

You’ve had a good idea ( for once)? Doodle.....I shall dye my hair green instead of tangerine.....A carrot flamenco dancer, a new trend!
The bar looks amazingly clean btw so well done to you and Lins, have a creme de menthe on the house.
Kev and Thor look ravishing this evening, working bare chested because of the heat ( don’t let Soop near ‘em.)
I just caught a flash of fur zip by and into the cellar, we have either got rats or the ferrets are still here!
