The Argy back to basics.

The llamas have returned when they got the scent of fish and chips. A good old English meal. They are refusing to eat pizza at the moment in solidarity with their team.

Glad the Llamas home AGA, Ruby is too ?....the Ravenmaster found her fast asleep beside a half eaten pasty..not like her not to gobble the lot ?.

Knew something fishy was afoot, no not the llamas dinner tho they are pretty messy, I meant the Argy takings what got took.

Now that Rowena’s finished her secret mission (I assume she ran out of ammo before the penalties) can she do her spying to look for the takings?

Ah GSM, Rowena is confined to her perch in disgrace, turns out she got lost and dropped her load on the Palace. Heads may roll!!!!

Will dispatch Ruby as soon as she is cleared to fly. Am guessing the Manor will be a good place to start, don't think the scarecrow will worry a wise old bird like Ruby too much

Oh dear. With the hopes of the nation resting on her too. At least I guess HM would have been at Windsor so wouldn’t have been targeted. Perhaps too big a mission for a young and inexperienced lady. Hope Ruby’s back on form soon though as I recall her geography isn’t too hot is it? Can she find the Manor?

Oh no! Ruby in disgrace. I'm sure she didn't mean to drop her load on the palace - or did she? She does have a mischievous look in her eye. I wonder who she was aiming for? She seems to have had her own agenda and not interested in Wembley.

As if we don't have enough problems with the llamas.

I think it was Rowena who bombed the Palace AGA. Ruby was resting after getting lost somewhere, I forget the details but recall she made a detour to Italy on her way back. Perhaps she was trying to get the Italian team on home ground. Anyway hope she can soon go in search of the takings, possibly with satnav. .

I just hope Lord L hasn't spent all our cash. He seems to be permanently drunk, smoking expensive cigars and has a young hussy on each arm.

Sounds a tad suspicious....

As he seemed to have no money last week.

Will he be in tonight? If Brunhilde is still around perhaps she could tip him upside down and see what falls out.

Don't your ravens have to have their wings clipped, Happyme?

(Might be what Lord L needs, by the sound of it)

If lemon finds out what he is up to he will get more than his wings clipped.

Too late! Have already found out...and although Lord L is a loveable rogue he has gone too far this time. There will be repercussions I can tell you.?
A young hussy on each arm indeed, let me at him!

No, it was my novice Rowena who got lost over Italy and caused a stink at the Palace, she was covering for Ruby who'd gone AWOL , was eventually found sleeping on duty and has now failed her drug test. Keeps squawking about pasties.

ixion The Ravenmaster usually only gives the ravens a light trim these days, Ruby is currently sporting a few additional pink tail feathers courtesy of nice fan I found in the closet and a spot of glue.

Bert the Beefeater still struggling with my chastity belt lock at the moment, lots of huffing and puffing going on ......don't intend telling him I found a key that fits hanging on the back of the toilet door.

Shall send Ruby to tail Lord L when he leaves the Argy ?

Quick morning briefing from Ruby Raven..

Lord L staggered out of Argy in the early hours, relieved himself on the bush outside.......I really hope that isn't Brook ?.....he sashayed down the road in the direction of the Manor singing ? who wants to be a millionaire ? and on reaching the potting shed slid through the door after a few furtive glances round. Probably hiding from lemon

Or are the takings in the potting shed?

We need to visit the potting shed after dark as it may be where our money is. Ruby and Rowena can be lookouts and squawk loudly if Lord L appears.
I just hope he hasn't hidden his young hussies in there.
With luck lemon has grounded him at the manor and locked all the doors so he can't escape.

Ruby and Rowena on standby and practising their squawking........loudly ?.

Could swear I have just seen doodle paddling like mad up river, followed closely by someone looking suspiciously like Brunhilde in a viking longboat. The crowd on the Embankment are cheering.....they think its the Oxford v Cambridge boat race!!

Ooh, can I come, please?
Have the kit still and the stamina.
Per ardua ad potting shed

Your camouflage will work well ixion. The shed is surrounded by trees and bushes so you won't be noticed. If the hussies are in there we can tempt them out with some of that perfume you made for the Argy spa.

Do we need to rescue doodle as well?

Perhaps take the llamas to see the hussies off as it seems Brunhilde, perfect for the job, is otherwise engaged. Is she by any chance practising for the Olympics?

All hands to the potting shed it is then, need to find the Argy takings...or whats left of them ?..... before doodle gets back, she'll be soo ?. But are we sure lemon hasn't set Lord L up as a patsy (yes I did mean patsy not pasty). Hasn't she got form for swiping the Argy takings ??
per ardua ad potting shed et ultra

Blooming cheek! it was marydoll wot done it ( in the past anyway) as she used the takings for trips to Italy with one of the waiters from the Soprano Bistro down the road.

I have confiscated Lord L’s cheque book, whisky and labradors until he learns to behave himself, and the potting shed will be his only home for the next week.Don’t give him free poteen or free anything else please.I am taking his cheque book with me on a visit to Madame Pom Pom’s ( down by the gas works) tomorrow and buying myself some tasteful togs.

Looks like the potting shed caper is off as Lord L is locked in there. Lemon has the cheque book so I think we can say goodbye to our hard earned cash...sigh..
I hope it hasn't taken hours to get into your camouflage outfit ixion.
