Hi brook
Thank you for unlocking.
Enjoy your walk - any chance you could take the field of corgis with you? The ones Fanny is supposed to be looking after.
If you come across ?'s hip flask in the far corner of the field (?she was heading that way with a ?‍♀️ and a ?‍? last time I saw her), please can you give her a shout?

Oh, and if you pass the kitchens where Doodle should be is cooking, here's a recipe to spice up her trifles!

Back later!

Ooh you’re a lifesaver Brook. What happened? I must have slept right through all the cannon and beacon stuff. That Jubilee brew is quite something.?
After a quick coffee and the paracetamol I must get some fresh air. ? I don’t mind taking my turn doing the lavs later. ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 03-Jun-22 11:45:24

I‘’ll have a black coffee with a chaser if poteen a couple of paracetamols along with some ibuprofen for good measure.

Anyone know what I got up to last night…

ixion Fri 03-Jun-22 12:06:43

?
But my, GG13, that was some show of athleticism?.

You should now be GG14 after that latest pose?

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 13:36:43

Ooh, that’s better. Now for the lavs. ☹️

What a state they were in!!! I've never seen the like!!!! Anyway they are pristine now and I've taken charge of the last of the Vim/talc/marching powder. Now to put my feet up and have a well earned poteen .... or two ...

brook2704 Fri 03-Jun-22 16:31:48

Thanks for that gsm they’re certainly sparkling clean
Enjoy your poteen but don’t worry if it tastes a bit unusual I have to own up that the llamas were a bit over excited when I got them back and had a wee accident down in the cellar, I’ve mopped up as best I can but …

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 17:09:33

I thought it had a certain je ne sais quoi. Certainly did the trick though - hic!?
I’d better not ask if the accident was of the - er - smaller or larger variety. Best not to know!

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 18:51:04

Sorry I’m late. I fell asleep in the cellar and when I woke up one of the llamas was on top of me and I couldn’t get out.
Ive made all the Jubilee trifles with added Coronation chicken and some doggy chews for the corgis. You can either eat it as a pudding or spread it in a sandwich.
Grannygravy I’m surprised to see you in two feet today…..especially after your antics last night. I never knew you could do somersaults like that …..I expect the Queen was a little surprised too. Not quite what she expected when she lit the beacon. Have you been going commando long?
Brook thank you for taking excellent care of the llamas. We won’t worry about the accident…I’m sure it all adds to the flavour.
ixionwhat a day we had yesterday. Still lots of grub left for everyone. Have we got any celebs coming in tonight?

ixion Fri 03-Jun-22 19:43:39

I'm scouting round looking for Slebs for tomorrow night, when I think we might stage a Right Royal Rave Up.
Tonight, an evening of quiet contemplation
AKA drink yourselves comatose.

Disappointment (maybe. Haven't we got a regular who has routinely throws her knickers at him?). Sir Tom is N/A.
The Welsh Talent Board is offering us Katherine Jenkins or Charlotte Church ? ?.
What do you all think?

brook2704 Fri 03-Jun-22 19:58:18

Oh there you are Doodle didn’t realise it was you down in the cellar earlier, I thought it was the Admiral with noises like that ?
Such a disappointment about Sir Tom but understandable after last time
Are you sure and KJ and CC are free ixion ? I’m sure they’d love to join us but we’ll need to get the post frocks and red carpet out ..

ixion Fri 03-Jun-22 20:01:35

Are they swoon material tho', brook?

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 20:15:12

What happened to George?

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 20:50:45

Snoring ? me, never. Must have been Gnasher ?
Ixion is quiet contemplation another name for hangover?
Er could the Welsh Talent board offer us some rugby players maybe. I have heard Tom Cruise might pop in. He’s going for a fitting at Madam Pom Poms (can’t imagine what for ?)

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 20:52:53

What happened to George? You may well ask GSM
Grannygravy that’s what’s happened to George. She’s marmalised him as usual. Poor chap can hardly walk.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 21:01:42

Oh no! Poor George!? I was rather hoping … ?

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 21:54:52

He was with his friend…. The names Bond, James Bond

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 21:56:51

Bags James!?

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 21:57:47

They had heard about the world famous Argy and wanted to know if they might have a table for two tomorrow.
I told them we were fully booked but might be able to squeeze them in somewhere. What do you think? ?

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 21:58:32
