The Argy back to basics.

Percy is very excited about a new pool as are the llamas. Alarma wants a lilo with Gnasher pushing her around in the water. She has asked for a new bikini and some expensive sunglasses.

Well, I'm back but I have to say it was a bug**r to get on to the District Line.
It came from no 18 court, where I hope its absence won't be noticed for a while.
Nice colour, needs to be laid upside down to hide the logo....

Digby has made an enormous hole in the paddock for our pool. All we need now is to see what ixion comes up with.
I heard some strange noises tonight coming from one of lemon’s glamping sheds pods. A sort of snorting snuffling sound. I had a quick look and inside was Lord Lemon serenading ……..Polly the pig farmers wife who was in there with several piglets. The vat of poteen was empty. Don’t tell Lemon, she and Polly have a bit of a history ?

OK, thanks for the dimensions.
Just off to negotiate the London Underground- will report back on mission success idc

There is a vat of poteen missing and several bottles of vodka. I think Lord L has gone with them. We may not see them for some time.
I will freeze some bowls of water while we wait for the Admiral and co to return.

Ice sorted AGA. I have dispatched the Admiral and his rusty trusty side kick, the Captain to the Arctic to capture a passing ice flow. They should be back by tomorrow ?

Big enough for one aggressive Penguin, several ladies (!) lounging, four llamas paddling, one Lord a leaping and a Great Dane. ?

?

ixion we may need some ice for the pond. Mini bergs sort of?
I wish May Hem wouldn't keep popping up and leading the men astray.

Spoken to my contact doodle about Percy's pond.
He wants to know how big your hole is?

ixion you’re our chief it fell off the back of a lorry guv, honestly procurer. Where can we get the basics of the swimming pool from?

Wot, me Guv?
Honest as the day is long, me.

Leave it with me...

Percy does look a bit miffed. He could be more of a guard dog than the llamas.
Yes I regret getting rid of the hot tub so……. Digby and his digger (the mechanical one) are arriving tomorrow to dig a huge hole in the paddock. We will need to line it and fill it with water to make our own swimming pool. Percy can have a flap about in it. The llamas can paddle and we can relax after a shift floating on one of those lilo thingies.

brook I am a bit peckish. Have you caught anything yet?
AGA I have heard a rumour that some of the silver from Lemongrove Manor is missing …..along with Mellors. I did wonder what attracted May Hem to run off with him.

He has a great hairdo though.

Are you sure AGA? He doesn't look the brightest (either of them actually)

Percy has taken a fancy to Lord L and won't let anyone into the igloo. He has got a sharp beak.
Fish fingers sound good. I am am a bit peckish (so is Percy)

brook I'll get the Great Dane to bring some chips back if you like, when she's finished her shift?

Shouldn't have flogged off the hot tub doodle. .Percy Penguin would love that.
Polystyrene ice floes, he'd be away.

Who's Lord Lemon got in that pod now, for Heaven's sake?
We need a Visitors' Book at Reception (er - have we got a Reception?) Do you want me in my shrub camouflage gear to park up outside?

Anyone fancy fish finger sandwiches for tea? I’ll drop a line down through the ice and see if I can catch something

That could be the end of Mellors. He is getting on a bit and you know what May Hem is like.

A penguin ?? My word, where did that come from? We must make a little pool for it. A new attraction I think
Brook be careful with those snow shoes you’re getting cotton wool snow stuck in the holes.
Poteen ice lollies AGA brilliant suggestion for the summer…..perhaps not for the children. ?
lemon can’t you entice Lord Lemongrove back to the manor with the promise of some of your …..delicious baked goods? Pingu is so cute we must keep him safe from predators especially the ones who want to cover him in chocolate.
If your glamping pods are full you can send the overflow here to the igloos.
Oh, by the way, you’ll never guess who I saw in town today getting on a coach with Mellors……..none other than May Hem!

Lord L will eat anything as a snack when he’s hungry, I fear the penguin is in mortal danger!
I have had to have words with his Lordship about hanging about The Argy, it’s my watering hole not his?and I don’t want him clocking what goes on there or chasing after any passing floozies.
The glamping pods are doing well and the cash is rolling in.
I’ll be able to pay young Mellors with real money in future instead of ...ahem! Other ways. In any case I was getting fed up with all that baking , paying the gardener in scones and flapjack really takes it out of a person.

The penguin is snuggled up with Lord L in the igloo. He is blotto. I mentioned to lemon about the penguin and she said his lordship does like his chocolate biscuits.

Have as many as you like brookI made loads.

Oooh chuck us over a lolly please AGA after the day I’ve had I could do with one ?

I have ordered a load of cotton wool to use as snow from Butts the Chemist. Some poteen lolly ices are in the freezer.
A penguin has arrived? and is making itself at home in one of the igloos.
