The Argy back to basics.

Lots of shouting and chants of Englerand...Engerland....Engerland here last night. Are we at war or has there been a revolution?? I am so isolated here in the Tower ?.
Hope I haven't missed any news...Ruby my Raven has gone missing, the Ravenmaster will be so cross. Please can you look for her, she has shiny black feathers, beady black eyes and a rather viscious beak (has been known to peck off the odd maid's nose), she is plump and juicy and taken to hanging round kitchens for a tasty morsel. Maybe muse has seen her?? Will send her daughter Rowena as a temp replacement.

Looks like Bosoms Brunhilde to me.
Been round the block a bit, used to sing at the Met (Opera House, not London Underground)

Well done for getting a covert snap of her Doodle. Wouldn’t want to meet her down a dark Pigstrotter Alley. Is she still there? Perhaps she could get take Thor’s mind off things as it were. Or are his preferences still in question? I should think by the looks of her she’d make any man question his preferences unless they’d had a good few poteens. I hope Thor recovers sufficiently to assist with the brewing, glad to hear there are endless supplies.
Btw any news of Muse’s eta so plans can be made? I should think you might stuff one of AB’s gowns in the boat Happy, they’re rather voluminous aren’t they? Plus the bling of course.???

Always poteen at the Argy gsdsmum. AGA keeps the brew going all the time. Even with the Danes drinking all they can we are still ok. Plenty here.

Er ….has anyone spotted that rather large woman in the corner with breastplate and long blond plaits. She keeps saying she’s come for the Admiral. Apparently they met on one of his seafaring trips and she thinks they’re betrothed. ?

Is there any poteen left?!

He is, apparently, comatose - or maybe prostrate with grief.
Bless. It's only a game.
Poor May Hem has wandered off, disconsolate.
She's very much second fiddle tonight. The chaps are all hugging and snogging each other instead.

Ooh the Danes have lost. Are you ok there? Hope things haven’t turned nasty. Can you pacify them with pasties? How’s Thor? Will he be able to carry on? Will he need counselling?

You’re right ixion I found this in The Argy family album

I hope Thor doesn't have torn loyalties.
Isn't he supposed to be descended from the Danish Royal House? ?

Oooh hope there’s not going to be a bust up later ixion where’s Thor tonight, he’ll soon sort it ..
I think Alarma finished off the last of the pastries earlier - just a few crumbs left

Hey- there's a lot of football types in tonight?‍♀️
There's a group too in the corner with helmets asking for Danish pastries?
Any out the back?

Everything ready for you here Happyme change of clothes, new bloomers, hair dye and complete makeover from Sheree. No one will recognise you when she’s finished with you. You won’t recognise yourself either ?

I have my bags packed ready. Is there a luggage allowance on the speedboat?? I rather like these lovely ballgowns I found in the closet, they'll be a great addition to the Argy dressing up box. Wonder who AB is, hope she doesn't miss them....finders keepers ?.
The nice baubles I picked up are a bit heavy but nice and shiny, Alarma will look lovely wearing the ?

Quick work Muse, you don’t hang around. Careful in those heels on the cobbles.
Yes ixion that could be it. Don’t know the name of the driver - my contact wouldn’t divulge. He is probably a wanted man. Certainly won’t be squeaky clean with these connections. Perhaps leave those bloomers off Happy, he might be quite eligible. Can’t be this Admiral chap if he only has one leg, unless of course the boat has been converted somehow. Might be better to leave the bloomers on then from what I’ve heard about the Admiral, just in case.

Looks like your speedboat is en route, gang...

Setting off for the tower now. Once Bert's eaten his doctored pasty and passed out I'll make may way down to the dungeons.
Listen out for me coming Happyme. Got my heels on. Good luck with the lock pick in the pasty and I reckon you've got about 3 hours before Bert wakes up.

Look out for the speedboat Germanshepherdsmum sorted out.

Porridge and poteen lemon, what a treat, thank you ?

Oh no, I only have one pair....could you put in an order for a multi pack from Madame Fru Fru please Doodle. XXXL should just about cover it ?. Is the Admiral the expert driver GSM....I seem to recall he told me he was a Navy Seal ?.
Ooh I do love a pasty muse hope you have made one for me ?.

PS Please don’t take offence Happy but if we do use the speedboat I would need two pairs of bloomers, don’t know about you!

Thanks Muse. Will the ‘doctored’ pasty be fairly quick to act? The river transport that can be arranged by someone here (no names, no pack drill), would be a speedboat with expert ‘driver’ - remember in a high profile job near the Thames a few years ago?

Two pasties ready GSM. Got my heels on and I've squeezed into my 2nd best frilly blouse. MrMs got the best one on. I'm off to put Plan B into action?? Must remember which pasty ? is which.

Doodle. I spotted the Admiral by the nursery. He looked happy but was struggling to walk.

Not available earlier, been asking around re •Happy • then it was film night, Bridges of Madison County, sad, rotten ending. I’d have gone with Clint. Anyway, quick update before lights out. River transport could be arranged. Had a thought for Plan B, pasties for late roll, sorry stroll with Bert, Mickey Finn in his?

It was his wooden leg Doodle he said he had brought it in for some polishing and that you were the expert.He did have a twinkle in the eye though, so watch yourself.

Oh lemon what a relief. I must admit to feeling a little guilty. I assumed Lord Lemongrove was having it off in the woods with Flibbety and all the time it was an innocent trip to the library. Sorry I was out the back with the llamas and Thor is in the cellar with AGA. Did you see the Admiral on your way in, he said he had something huge for me. I wonder what it could be??

I have helped myself to a large brandy ( for my nerves) from the bar, as nobody seems to be about ? what a day!
Holidays courtesy of Her Maj are quite usual around here, almost a badge of honour you might say....we will have some porridge on the go when you get out so that you feel at home.
