A Very Argy Christmas

Will this do for my elf outfit?

AGA tell Thor I’ll pop down later to give him some…..encouragement.
Lemon glad the llamas meet with your approval. Save Alarma for Mr Lemongrove she will sort him out no problem but don’t let the little madam near any children. She’s been known to give a nasty nip.
Grandmabatty what have you been up to with our llamas. Cross breeding indeed. If any of them start wanting to drink coffee I will be very suspicious ?
Brook I’m glad you’re arranging the panto. What is being performed this year, and is there a part for me? ……don’t tell me it’s the hind legs of a donkey, camel, cow, pig, sheep or giraffe again. Playing the giraffe legs was the worst. Once splayed never together again……now who does that remind me of ….?

Able seaman you say. Oh yes please.
I have just been to pick up my Christmas Argy outfit. What do your think I love the boots

Any able seaman will do for me.

Oooh lemon a whole ship’s crew to choose from - can I have first pick please ??

Yes, well done muse but don’t try climbing to the top of our vast Christmas tree will you, or you’ll literally bring the house down.?
The llamas look soooo sweet! Bring them up to the Manor later, we can sell rides for a fiver a time.?
The Christmas Dinner pasties went down a storm ( although a few came back up again) so I have ordered another five dozen for tomorrow.
On the handsome men front (proved a bit tricky) but the Admiral is going to bring a whole ship’s crew with him, so some are handsome and some aren’t ( I went aboard the good ship HMS Halfcut this morning to cast an eye on them.)
The Captain is mine so hands off.

Well done muse I think you’ll be the perfect sugar plum fairy - wait until Tom sees you in that outfit! Not sure where we’re going to get the handsome men from though AGA ?
Are we all ready for the kids panto on Saturday afternoon ?
The llamas are on standby if we can’t get Thor and the Admiral in that pantomime horse outfit

I went looking for the llamas but got confused by next doors alpacas. Can they cross breed and become alpamas? Or Llamacas? Asking for a friend.

I've finally got Thor back although he is a bit sulky about having to work. Being admired is much more to his liking.
I see the drama queen is playing up again. There will be no treats for her if she doesn't behave.
Back to the brewing. Come on Thor. Away from that mirror.

Ah that’s nice of you Ixion . Looks like you’ve been elected Muse just make sure you don’t stand too close to the Admiral, I’m not sure he’s up to much excitement at the moment.
AGA I’ve had the llamas in the barn trying out their reindeer outfits. Needless to say you know who is having a bit of a strop saying hers is not the latest fashion. I should have them ready for reindeer rides at Lemongrove Manor later.
I am off in search of some sort of carriage we can use for rides. Back later. Hope the brewing is going well. I think we need it.

Here you are muse.
You'll knock 'em for six in this!

We really need some "sweet and wonderful" right now muse so bring on the sugar plum fairy.
Can she stop the Admiral getting drunk and make the llamas behave.
We also need lots of handsome men please Miss Sugar Plum.

Ooo! Just looked up the meaning of Sugar Plum Fairy. anything and everything sweet and wonderful in the world, Is that moi? I'm blushing brook!

I don’t think I’m right for the sugar plum fairy, but an elf helping Santa with his stockings is right up my street. I’ve helped quite a few with their stockings before. I’ll give Santa a rub down with the Vicks while I’m at it.
Good job we unloaded all those potatoes Doodle, the llamas were starting to eat them.

Extending the auditions for a few days to see if we get the right candidate. Also need some elves to assist Santa getting his stockings ready

Anyone else up for the audition for the sugar plum fairy ?
muse you’re first in line …

Personally I prefer a big banger Grandmabatty but each to their own ??

I'm very fond of a cocktail sausage or two Muse. Ahem.

Chef Rob says he'll do cocktail size Christmas pasties as well as the usual. I have tried them and well they're sort of, erm... interesting

Will a twirl do for the audition Doodle. Sturdy thighs, yes, but my nether regions leave a lot to be desired.

Maddyone what’s the Admiral good at you ask, something we have all been asking for years.
AGA wot ? all the poteen gone and we’re nowhere near Christmas yet. Get brewing please and thanks for helping Maddyone. You could help me unload the potatoes. Farmer Giles has been keeping piles for me….and potatoes.
Muse glad you’re getting on with the pasties. They were a great success last year.
Right everyone. Brook and I will be holding auditions this evening for anyone who wants to apply to be our Christmas Fairy. Strong nether regions and sturdy thighs a requirement.
No fighting over Sir Tom now. We want him in one piece for his star turn.
Anyone seen ixion . I asked her to go for some pork scratchings. I wonder where she is?

I hope you remembered the poopa scooper for the llama droppings, there will be hell to pay if the kids tread it through the argy ???

I took the llamas out earlier and think we can make a fortune offering kiddie rides again , it should pay for the Christmas buffet
lemon can we use your paddock again please at Lemongrove manor?

Have we any tickets left for Friday night?
Tom is sure to pull in a crowd again it’ll be a sell out- we’ll have to get Thor on the door checking tickets

I like a rub down with Vick myself, but unfortunately he had an appointment to go to.☹️

I have roused Thor now if anyone needs him. A pint of poteen and a rub down with vick and he's ready for anything.

Are any of the Argy regulars in the boat cheering Tom on?
The Admiral is with him. Look at him go. Not bad for 98.
