Hi there everyone
Been a bit busy this week with this and that but now it’s Friday I’m ready for my shift in the Argy, a singalong fot jet and a pint of poteen ...
Can I help with the fine dining at all ? I can be quite posh if I try - but obviously not as posh as Lemon so can do the silver service waitressing etc and mingle with the clientele..

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 20:02:40

Anyone fancy a duet tonight for the singalong ? I thought maybe Islands in the Stream , I’ll do the Kenny Rogers bit if someone can do Dolly ?

Doodle Fri 28-May-21 20:14:43

Oh brook you’ll never guess who wants to be Dolly. Gnasher has always wanted to go onstage. He’s got a blonde wig and is longing to partner you. Will you cope?
If you can help Fronc in the dining room that would be great and I’ll keep an eye on the bar.
Who’s in the hot tub tonight?

Doodle Fri 28-May-21 20:17:31

You can’t turn him down brook look how excited he is,

ixion Fri 28-May-21 20:22:56

It's closed for Essential Maintenance. I need a bigger sieve tonight unfortunately?.
Have spent ages trying to explain that to May, who is disappointed not to have a bevy of oglingadmiring chaps offering to scrub her back.

Thanks for doing the Walks tomorrow doodle.
Good job it's not brook. Not so much a Walk as a Yomp, as I'm lead to believe.

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 20:37:31

Oh Gnasher of course you can duet with me - it’s perfect, I’ll just get you the words ready ..
I think the llamas might enjoy a yomp ixion after doodle has taken them for a walk of course

muse Fri 28-May-21 20:54:38

I've got the wander lust at the mo Doodle so I'll join you for a walk tomorrow. Can't resist those Llama lashes.

Pity about the tub. I was fancying a dip as the bath at Muse Mess Hut is being re-enamelled. MrM won't own up to what he's been using it for.

Might pop in for a song tonight though. Ain't no mountain high enough' might appeal to Brook.

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 21:18:46

Yes muse you’re right, that’s one of my all time favourites!
That one and River Deep Mountain High which brings out the Tina Turner in me ..

Doodle Fri 28-May-21 21:25:18

Ooh I could do a Tina Turner Simply the best.
Yes muse I would enjoy your company on the llama walks. They don’t have much to say usually.
Anyone seen AGA. She’s not brewing with Thor is she. .....or whatever she calls it these days? ?
I think the fine dining went ok so Fronc should be pleased. Some of the fine diners are coming down for the karaoke so let’s have a good sing song for Jet. Make it loud so she can hear us.
Off you go brook and Gnasher, belt it out.
ixion have you got a number ready for tonight?

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 21:33:14

C’mon Gnasher don’t be shy ...
?. Islands in the stream , that is what we are ...
Sail away with me to another world .... ?

Has anyone seen the Admiral and Mary Rose recently ?

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 21:35:47

Ready Doodle off you go..

what are you singing tonight muse?

ixion Fri 28-May-21 21:43:16

Yup.
Loud and clear for our jet ?
?Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells

Like the bit about 'coming out of the kitchen'.
Gets my vote?

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 21:46:13

Gnasher’s started singing.. I want to break free ...

ixion Fri 28-May-21 21:49:24

??‍♀️
Oh no.
Is Gnasher really so unhappy with us? ?

brook2704 Fri 28-May-21 21:59:01

Think he’s only kidding ixion - he’s such a drama llama

Doodle Fri 28-May-21 22:40:50

No ixion he’s just a really big fan of the Queen. He doesn’t realise she’s not in the band.
I think I’ve put my back out doing Tina. Hope jet can hear us.
Wonderful duet brook I think you and Gnasher can give us another tune next week.
I’m looking at Mabel and Maud with new eyes now. Who would have guessed that two ladies in their 80s could rock the audience with Gangham style

ixion Fri 28-May-21 22:53:02

Rest that back doodle. You're on llama walkies tomorrow, don't forget.
Mabel and Maud were amazing, weren't they?
Thank goodness the Admiral was miles away.
He has taken Mary Rose on a Saga Round Britain cruise to show off his sea legs.

muse Fri 28-May-21 23:33:35

It's got to be 'Hit the road Jack' brook. Bit too much poteen tonight. I need my bed. MrM's sent the open top car 'os and cart for me.

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
?I had a little drink
About an hour ago
And it's gone straight
To my head hic

ixion Sat 29-May-21 16:54:55

Thanks for making the effort doodle.
I'm sure the Walks are going down a storm.

The Tea Rooms are buzzing. If's not just the seating arrangements which are spaced out...

brook2704 Sat 29-May-21 18:50:10

Oh Doodle you look so ..... colourful hope you weren’t too hot today and the llamas behaved in the heat

Doodle Sat 29-May-21 19:26:18

brook thank you. Yes I do try and dress the part. I find the hat keeps the sun off. Nice to have your company Muse.
ixion good to hear the tea room is doing well. How are my cakes going or does that account for the buzzing.
Leo has booked in a Steps tribute band for next Friday so we should have a great time at the karaoke for jet.
They are visiting the area so want a nice tea in the tea room and then will join us in the Argy later. Leo is proving to be quite an asset he is very charming .
How is Fronc getting on? His fine dining menu seemed to go down well with the couples.

P.S. I hope the Admiral isn’t on the same one as I am hopefully going on in a few weeks time ?? ?

brook2704 Sat 29-May-21 19:45:02

Very well done Leo - I love Steps especially their Tragedy number .. we can dance along to that one as well as belting it out
Your cakes went down a treat doodle what did you put in them again??

Doodle Sat 29-May-21 19:55:40

Er...nothing brook just an old family recipe blush
Yes I think we should join in too.

muse Sat 29-May-21 22:24:03

Must remember to bring my waders next time Doodle. It cooled me and the llamas down a treat though.

I used to be a dab hand at the 5 6 7 8 moves. Bit rusty these days. Plenty of time to have a refresher course before next Friday. Can Leo help out?

Doodle Sat 29-May-21 23:22:36

Yes it was fun muse the llamas seem to like you which is lucky as they are known to be a bit snappy at times.
I’m sure Leo can help with the dancing. As long as I don’t have to get my leg up I’m ok. I still haven’t recovered from the can can. blush
