The Argy back to basics.

Please can we go to The Kitchen tomorrow if we promise to behave?
Any tips for us? Wouldn't like to let the side down?

Baby Norbert is so cuddly. I have taken over while brook has a well earned rest. Alarma is quite happy to let others be nursemaids while she has her nails done and lies around eating tasty pastries.

Gosh I’d forgotten too. Norbert is our baby llama lemon as you well know. Just because I put in a few pounds in lockdown.?.
Well the peace and quiet didn’t last long. Lord Lemon spotted Saucy Sally from the sausage counter in the market and is taking her off to his harem. She doesn’t seem to mind but old dodders is a bit put out at being expected to gallop off with both of them on his back. ?
Never mind Lemon I’m sure he’ll be back later. AGA’s not around but I can mix you her latest cocktail. I think she says it’s called Molotov. Cheers ?

Blummin heck lemon I didn’t know that was tonight ….I was hoping for a quiet night under the palm trees
Don’t let dudders the camel anywhere near the llamas- we’ve only just got them settled

Lord L and I have dropped in for the Midnight At The Oasis Nite, where’s the cocktails?
Lord L has dressed as a handsome desert Arab ( more like a dessert Arab tbh) and I am in yashmak and seven veils, and in flirty mode, we’ve brought old Dudders the butler with us, he’s the one dressed as a camel.

Who the hell’s Norbert? Has somebody just given birth? It wasn’t Doodle was it? I did notice a few extra pounds going on her but assumed it was Covid weight!

AGA I’d like a water slide too. …….er ixion any ideas?
muse bring extra pasties please. I want to sit in with Norbert too. He’s very sweet.
Brook your wouldn’t ?. Not sell little Norbert. You don’t know what might happen to him. You’re his adopted mummy. Look how he adores you. Those long eyelashes, that soft fur.
Poor Norbert. Im starting a save Norbert protest ?

ixion those palms are fantastic . You’d think they were real trees that had been growing somewhere nice and warm……like Cornwall.. I will ask no more ?
I thought Mighty Maggie would sort Alarma out. She can be useful in more ways than one as she could run a keep fit class for those staying in the igloos.

Ooh yes please muse I could do with some spicy undertoned pasties
Love the palm trees ixion just what’s needed. I’m going to sit under one of them this evening with baby Norbert as he’s been a bit clingy today. But he won’t be getting used to it - do you know how much you can get for a baby llama !!

Perfect name ixion. I'll watch out for you passing tonight. It sounds much quieter out there now. My 40 mins return home up the A30 yesterday turned into 90 mins. Give me a toot as you pass Cornwall Services (Victoria).

I'll take turns with Norbert Brook or come and keep you company with a couple of pasties. Norbert can have a few crumbs. Not too many though. This latest lot have spicy undertones.

Can we have one of those water slides, chutes, for the lake? They are great fun.

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.

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??

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 ?

Looks like a Norbert to me.

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.

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

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.

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).

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

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

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 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?

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

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 …
