Phew that was a night to remember ! ?? ?
I’ve had such a lovely time and thank you to everyone for your company
Lovely to see you Blossoming I thought it was you sat near the stage!
Hopefully no harm done muse and you’re back on your feet again ..
I’ll pop back in the morning to do the dishes and tidy up the kitchen

Doodle Sun 08-Aug-21 23:04:54

Get home safely grandmafrench (love the card ?)
Hope you’re not too worn out from the can can.
grandmabatty’s offered Sir Tom home a lift home……will we ever see him again?
Hope you’ve had a wonderful birthday soop. You are a very special lady. ?
I’m off back to the Argy to check on the llamas. Night night all and thank you for a lovely time ?

Nannytopsy Sun 08-Aug-21 23:03:22

Ok girls - Conga time! Da da da da da dada etc

Blossoming Sun 08-Aug-21 23:01:41

I have been watching from the sidelines as not really up to partying just now. Looks like a good time wax had by all! Goodnight lovely Kitcheners ❤️

ixion Sun 08-Aug-21 22:48:03

Me too, I think, Grandmafrench.
Even 'Soop*'s birthday flower has had enough.

(Talking of which, how's Tom getting on? Is he past it too?)

Thank you Soop for a lovely evening, please pass on my thanks to the neighbours for their tolerance...

Night night grandmafrench safe journey home

muse Sun 08-Aug-21 22:42:21

Night Grandmafrench. Don't forget your party bag. I popped the last haggis pasty in it for your supper.

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:38:02

No. I've decided that maybe the Kurse of The Kitchen (British Telecom!) has struck. Again. I'm unable to post anything to you all without a struggle and am getting no updates. I shall finish the bottle and toddle off home. Please make a careful note, ladies, that it has to be so much less risky to consider the Argy for Soop's 90th. Whatever dire events can happen in the Argy, Soop is very familiar with it and it has to have far better internet service than where you all are at present.

Before I go, and I am so thrilled I was invited , I want to try to send a card to our favourite Kitchen lady. She just got the poem and no card, which is unforgivable. So here goes......

Bless you all for your fun and frolics, good humour and good company. Keep safe and nighty night. x

Doodle Sun 08-Aug-21 22:35:51

Excuse me nice Mr Fireman would you be able to assist my friend up from the floor…….no she didn’t trip over a blanket that’s just her tartan knickers falling off. blush

muse Sun 08-Aug-21 22:29:41

Glad I've got plenty of room in my tartan bloomers for the splits.
Hey - How am I going to get back up again?

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:27:59

Could I be in the room NEXT to all the action, Ixion.? Just sayin'. I'll try to listen for the Conga but have to admit I could be in a parallel universe. Maybe it's the drink.......

muse Sun 08-Aug-21 22:25:47

I bet Tom's got a few pairs in his back pocket Doodle. Hope the music not too fast. I downed that last poteen in one ?Need to catch up with the rest of you.

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:25:46

La la la la la lala lala, la la la la lala, lala lah !
Shake those frillies girls, legs higher.
First one to do the splits at the end, gets the Ambulance.
Don't say - puff - you weren't warned.............

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:23:59

Whilst you were gone I was able to browse Mumsnet's 10 Best Steam Irons and Make Up Tips for the Over 50's (optimistic, moi?). What on earth is the matter with this thread? There's no one here except me - and now you. I blame Brexit!!!!!!!!!

So, knickers on. Hope Sir Tom and Calli haven't left in a huff. He's possibly used to a bit less chat and more action ? Are we rolling with the Happy Birthday or has everyone gone to bed?
Answers, maybe on a postcard. x

ixion Sun 08-Aug-21 22:23:30

There's so many of us here!
Perhaps we should consider a Conga to follow?

brook2704 Sun 08-Aug-21 22:23:14

Super duper everyone
So on the count of three
grandmafrench can you get us started please …
One Two Three ….

Doodle Sun 08-Aug-21 22:19:11

Phew! It’s ok grandmafrench I’ve got my knickers back and I’m ready now.
How’s this for a little oh la la. ?

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:11:38

Hej! brook - I'm told that's Swedish! I don't know if I'm here or not. My computer is behaving like it's steam-driven and it's putting posts just anywhere - or not. Unbloody believable on such a special occasion. No wonder I never get let into the Argy, I'd be about 3 chapters behind on each page!

I Can Can do the Can Can but was hoping that Doodle would put some knickers on beforehand. I suppose I could put my mask over my eyes - ring the changes a bit! Count us in, maybe?

brook2704 Sun 08-Aug-21 22:07:12

Yay you’re here grandmafrench perfect timing to join in with the singing and lead the Can Can

Doodle Sun 08-Aug-21 22:04:02

Hang on grandmafrench I’ll nip back to the Argy for my undies, thanks brook
Keep Tom on stage for a bit will you. How about Kiss, he’s good at that…..ask Callistemon ?

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 22:03:21

Oh, I seem to finally have arrived. Evening gals! The original delay was caused by my picking up some nice French Pompiers - I was worried that all those candles (!!!!!!) on Madame's cake might cause a conflagration. This is no time to end a perfect day with fires raging across Kintyre.

Anyway French fireman will be happy to support Doodle in her belly dancing demo. Just watch out for their big boots near your sparkly sandals, Doodle. I've probably missed the singing now. I shall just open a bottle and catch up before some dancing - since I now have working ankles again! Weeeeee!

ixion Sun 08-Aug-21 22:01:11

That picture makes him look like a chimney sweep.

brook2704 Sun 08-Aug-21 21:59:43

Nip back to the Argy Doodle Alarmas got them on her head …

Grandmafrench Sun 08-Aug-21 21:59:18

Hells Bells, chaps! I keep posting but I'm talking to myself. My posts have gorn orf! This is no time to send me into exile you rotten dance troupe, you. I too am honoured but can't consider doing the CanCan with anyone Nickerless! Ooooh the shame! Keep searching and I'll dig out a spare pair.

Jaxjacky Sun 08-Aug-21 21:58:21

Husband assembled, forgot his degree in pyrotechnics ?
