The Argy back to basics.

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

? 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 ?

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.

Doodle

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

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

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

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

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

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)❤️❤️❤️❤️

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

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 ?

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 ..

Well, we worked jolly hard against the clock, as you can see and I am sure that just a teensy number of panels won't be missed.
I thought we could put them up over the lake, à la carport, as 'twere, and voila - free heat?

And if Steven the Spark can do his stuff, we could get free leccy as well?‍♀️

Brilliant ixion. Just what we need. I will cancel the thermal bikini now.

Pssstt - anyone around?
Had this amazing idea over night to get the lake acceptably warm.
I had a word with my contacts and the solution is here on the back of the lorry tractor which helped us take the freezer? to the harbour.
What do you reckon?

Hey, no time for all this social chit chat, excusez-moi.
I have been to PR Alley - yes, Tanya and Sherree can do beaks:
henna or temporary tats. Luckily, he has formed an alliance with Alarma and they were both seen waddling wandering off in that direction looking very excited.
The local kiddies were thrilled to see them passing at Playtime. They reckon its Pingu?

Surely Nanouk needs his hirsuteness where he comes from?
And brook, what's all this about feeling the cold?
I thought you were from well north of Watford and, by definition, closer to the Arctic Circle?

I think May Hem has been watching too much Olympic coverage. She had just told me she has ambitions now to be a champion weight lifter. Think she's almost there - have you seen her raising those barrels in the cellar heavenward?
Scary.

brook like you, I don’t like the cold. Oh whatever can we do? ?. Who do we know who can find a heater for our pool? …….
Anyone seen ixion recently ?

Ooooh sounds lovely but does the budget run to having the pool heated or are we going to shiver in there ?

Good idea AGA . I must go into Madame Pom Pom’s and see if I can get a new swimsuit too. My last one isn’t wearable any more since I caught the knitted hem on a nail and it unraveled all the way up to my navel

Has Nanouk got a hairy back?
It feels a bit chilly for the pond lake today but it hasn't stopped the llamas from running in and splashing each other.

We need a rota. No llamas, penguins or other creatures including the Admiral in the water when we are bathing.

I have bought a frilly swimming cap in cerise to go with my bikini which must have shrunk. It is really hard to get on.

Great idea ixion and AGA. Er ixion Nanouk wants to know if Sherree and Tanya do personal waxing ?

Do Sheree and Tanya do beaks? Get Percy out the way while we relax.

Don't worry, folks.
I took the liberty of negotiating a six-month platinum pass with Sherree and Tanya at Pampered Pooches in exchange for a few jugs of free poteen on Friday nights at the Argy.
That means our madam can see out the rest of her confinement having her nails done ad naus and leave us in peace to enjoy the pool.

I have acquired (?) a range of pool lilos and floats for our pool when it’s finished. I can see us all now after a hard day in the Argy, floating in the pool, a nice iced poteen in hand, relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. Lovely picture but will it be like that with Madam and her servant llamas ?

Well done ixion. There will be a lot of happy splashers now. If Percy allows anyone else in his pool that is. What is it with these temperamental animals?

Wot! ? little madam. Well we may pamper her a bit till baby llama comes along but them she will have to change her ways.
ixion you didn’t ?. Oh yes you did. Well done. Brilliant pool lining……?
