The Argy back to basics.

Well done ixion that’ll make all the difference - I’m sure no one will notice a few missing panels
I’ll ditch the wetsuit and see what Madam Pom Pom has to offer ..

You lot never cease to amaze me. Well done.
ixion you are a star. Who would have thought of solar panels….brilliant. That will heat us up in no time and free leccy too. I will treat you all to a new outfit at Madam Pom Poms for all your hard work and enterprise. That’ll put lemon’s glamping shed in the shade… literally ?

Here I am getting measured for mine by Handy Harry Madame Pom Pom’s chief assistant.

Ooh, than, you doodle, but if you don't mind, I'll use my own personal outfitter.
A wizard with the old tape measure (but he's mine, all mine)❤️❤️❤️❤️

?We could sell lemon some of our surplus leccy for her pods?
??

That’s not fair ixion bringing in the professionals…..do you think he can measure me up too ?

I’m not sure that’s what I had in mind but Madam Pom Pom was very insistent ..

Dear doodle, please see my warning advisory comments in brackets.
Patrick does it for me, so to speak.

It looks like ixion will have a very posh tailored bikini. I need a rethink on mine. I do seem to be falling out of the one I bought 50 years ago. I'm sure it wasn't so small then.

? spoil sport ixion . Ok I’ll stick with Madame Pom Pom’s Handy Harry. At least he’s got warm hands.
Brook I see Madame Pom Pom has worked her magic again you look…..very green.
AGA there are two big black bin bags outside the Argy, perhaps you could use those as the basis of your new bikini.
By the way, ixion thanks to you the new pool has heated up very well and is now perfect for a bit of relaxed bathing.
How about we have a pool party on Friday night. We can bring the karaoke machine outside, string up some fairy lights and serve our very best Jet Stream poteen. All we need now is to set the scene with some fake palm trees ?

Leave it with me, doodle.
Any particular genus of palm??

I think we might have more to think about than the palm trees and bikinis soon ..

Anyone know when baby Alarma is due? She’s been huffing and puffing all day and now she’s eyeing up the pool …

Couple of pallets at the back of cellar, folks.
She's not having our bathing pool, sorry.

Ooh how exciting. Ok gang, I’ll…….. go and down a couple of pints of poteen go and look after the bar. I’m sure you and brook can manage things in the cellar ixion ?. I’ll give Vern the Vet a ring and see if he can pop over. Now where is my baby names book?

The vet says Alarma's baby is on the way and judging by all the fuss and screams I think he is right.
I have given her some poteen to calm her down. Wonder if it will be a boy or girl? Will she be a good mum? Gnasher is standing by looking brave if a little green.
A

Ooh I’m so excited. I’m knitting a little (big) blanket.

Will you knit some large bootees too please? It is s bit chilly out there today.

Sorry, stuck in Cornwall otherwise I'd be delighted to help?.
Have you thought about getting the local media interested? You could hire out the rights and make a killing (so to speak).

I will ask Gazza from the gazette to take some photos and print an article on the new baby llama (for a price).
Maybe even the nationals will be interested? Alarma would love to be a star.

Well I’ve been down in that cellar all day and I can honestly say I don’t ever want another day like today - talk about a drama queen - even Vern the Vet said she was a right little madam.
But the good news is we now have a new baby boy llama !! Awww so cute bless - Gnasher is looking very proud and Alarma is back on her feet and asking for more poteen and strawberries

What a cutie! Glad it's a boy. We wouldn't want another Alarma. Trying to brew the poteen with the bellowing going on, even though the vet had given her an epidural, was hard going.
Brook did a good job of keeping her as calm as possible but it was tiring work. Now she wants a massage and a fitness instructor so she can get her figure back as soon as possible.

Looks like a Norbert to me.

Oh ixion that’s a really good name for him.
Wow he is so cute. Brook well done you deserve a medal.
AGA good idea about the press. I think it will draw in some punters.
I think the time has come to call in reinforcements to deal with Madam Alarma. Mighty Maggie from the the wrestling club in town can take her in hand. She will soon have Alarma wishing she hadn’t asked for a fitness coach.
Gnasher is wandering around preening about Norbert, very much the proud father. The little one will certainly be a big attraction.
I have asked Farmer Giles in he could build a barn in the paddock for us so that the llamas can go inside when it’s chilly and we can…………… have a barn dance. Ye ha ?

Mindful of Muse's experiences of tourists on the A30, we decided to travel back from Cornwall overnight- and to avoid any awkward questions...
Anyway, your palm trees are now in situ round the pool, hope you like them.

You don't stay up all night with Norbert, do you, Brook??

Mighty Maggie is taking no nonsense from Alarma who is sulking. Maggie is surprisingly gentle with Norbert and has been looking after him as Alarma is hopeless.
