All day breakfast ?

Ohhhhh heck..... so no bloomin wonder there was the foulest of smells when I entered the All Day Breakfast cafe this morning !!! Whoooooo I thought it was the eggs that had gone offffff....

I have to admit that I so now feel a tad awful that no gifts were brought back.... so in my break I have jumped upon the number 32 bus and dashes past the market like grease lightening and burst through the doors of John Lewis no less, yes... I have raced round to the perfume counter and purchased the biggest bottle of perfume each....... huge bottle for each of you Doodle and Smileless for all your hard work while I have been on my jollies.... I THANK YOU....

Now Doodle did you like that Maltese rabbit stew ?????? Do you think it would go down a treat with the other GN ??????

Nor me, so it's over to you S and we've been that busy that they haven't been cleaned since you went on your jollies.

Just kidding.

Well you see ( blush, blush) i ran out of €€€€, not a euro left in the bottom of my purse and the plastic is alllll max'd out !!!

I tell you what, to show my appreciation for holding the fort, how about I serve you up TWO helpings of my new Maltese recipe...... RABBIT STEW ????? Yes, two generous helpings just for you Doodle ..... now i can't be fairer than that ?

Wot no booze or perfume and we’ve been slaving away keeping the place going without you. ?. Well I’m not doing the toilets in the morning that’s for sure.

Doodle

Esmay trouble is I move one way and my belly goes the other. ?
Oh yes Smileless I need a break from the dancing.
Karaoke suits me fine. I’ll have stew and pizza please I need some stamina if I’m going to belt out some songs.
I may start off with a bit of Rod Stewart (not saying which bit mind ?). Do y’a think I’m sexy . Might try a duet with Gusto.
Hope Serendipity is having a good time. Do you think she’ll bring us back something from duty free?

I'd all on bringing myself back nevermind duty-free ?

Im BACK ... ooooo fully refreshed and a new recipe to follow.... but first I must say that I am both shocked and extremely sad at our queens passing... YES about.... a glass we must raise to our queen..... ❤

Hear hear- whatever your tipple, raise your glass to the Queen’s memory. ❤️

RIP Our Queen. Let’s raise a glass to her and all she has done for us.

Hi Doodle - if your belly moves one way and the rest of you the other - I think that you'd be a total wow in the belly dancing class !

Well she'd better I hope so Doodle.

That was certainly a raucous rendition of 'Do y'a think I'm sexy' with Gusto. You seemed to be trying to outdo one another with the sexy moves but all credit to you Doodle your hip movements were pretty amazing.

The group of GN's who sang 'It's Raining Men' were *brilliant so move over Weather Girls, our GN's are the tops.

Do you think it was just a coincidence that Giani was wearing very tight trousers or do you think it was to help him with his rendition of Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights'? I think the jury's out on that performance.

Well I'm well and truly exhausted so do you think you could open up in the morning Doodle so I can sleep in in the morning?

Well I don't know about you Doodle but I'm exhausted seems I underestimated just how much work was involved running this All Day Breakfast cafe, and how much S was doing between her drinking and shopping trips.

No games planned for tonight but Gusto's bringing in his karaoke machine so we can have a sing along evening. Having given his word that there wont be a goat's leg on the premises, I've agreed to let him prepare another goat stew, and have asked Giani to rustle up a pizza for me.

If any GN's would rather have pizza then please let me have your order asap. Gian's busy with toppings as we speak and luckily Gusto is so busy with his stew, he hasn't noticed.

The belly dancing certainly went down well so we'll definitely be having another evening session but may wait until S is back from her jollies.

Belly dancing is the most enormous fun .

You can wear exactly what you like .

It doesn't matter what shape , size or age you are .

Just enjoy it !

Wow, you must have been up very early S. Have a great time. Now Doodle and I have to get on, some of us have work to do you know and we've been rushed off our feet ever since we opened to doors this morning.

Must say Doodle's poached eggs are pretty awesome, I think the boys are a little jealous .

So long.... fair well.... im at the airport... Ive cleared security and THANK GOODNESS they didnt spot the ALL DAY BREAKFAST SANDWICH
that i had in my bag !! Phewwww..... I have been up since the crack of dawn ( theres joke there somewhere but at this time in the morning Im not even going to go there....) ?

Right must get to the duty free ... i have a mental list of alllll luxurious items I must purchase... channel... louis vitton .. Dior .. ohhhhhh the list is endless...

AU REVOIR ...... ?

Afraid so Doodle but she looks peaceful so I've put a pillow under her head and covered her with a blanket so we'll leave her there until the morning.

The chocolate fountain was a brilliant idea and the boys have certainly enjoyed themselves this evening.

So relieved that you're going to help man the fort while S is off on her jollies. No way I could have coped with the boys and the All Day Breakfast cafe on my own, and it would be a shame to have to close down just as we're doing so well, and as you say, what could possibly go wrong.

Fear not Smileless I will help you. After all, what could go wrong? ?. I love a game of snakes and ladders. Guess what I’ve brought for tonight’s game ……??? nope ? only kidding. I’ve got a chocolate fountain and some marshmallows. The boys said they’ve never dipped their bits in chocolate so I thought they could have a go tonight. I’m sure Serendipity will be up for it.
By the way, what’s happened to Fanny ? She’s not still under the table is she?

Glad you managed to avoid slipping on the smashed egg S which took some doing as you had a full English in one hand and a bottle in the other.

Have to say I'm rather concerned about the amount of alcohol you've been necking lately so I've got some alcohol free beers for tonight and some recipes for virgin cocktails.

Snakes and ladders sounds good although you can probably guess why I'm a bit bothered about GN's bringing actual snakes. We've already had live beetles and lobsters so are you sure this isn't a bit risky?

Well Doodle's explained how Giani got those back scratches and it's such an outrageous and unbelievable story, surely it must be true.

Just make sure you get fake snake skin boots. You wouldn't want to offend anyone by wearing the real thing would you.

In keeping with yet another 'animal' themed game I've instructed Giani and Gustov to make toad in the hole for this evenings supper. The looked horrified so I had to explain that the 'toads' are sausages.

Doodle has 2 fish now, don't you remember?

What do you mean you wont be around because you're jet setting???? I wont be able to manage on my own so unless Doodle's prepared to cover for you, we'll have to close while you're away.

This is my suggestion for tonights game... good old snakes & ladders . I am just going to hop on the No32 bus and purchase a lovely pair if snake.skin shoes ?...

What does everyone think to that game tonight ??

2 things I need to know... 1. What on earth is the name of the fish with only a mermaid for.company and 2. How on EARTH did Gianai get alllll those scratches on his back ??? No 2 question is aimed at Doodle

I wont be around to cook any food nor organise any games for the next week as I am living the life of a jet-setter ... so I know you are quite quite capable Smileless of holding the fort and keeping a watching ? for any shenanigans!!!!!! For goodness sake keep an even GREATER ? on Doodle and Gianai !!!!!

AMATURE DRAMATICS ????? you mean i have legged it with my prune feet alllllll the way up Paraffin Alley, down Quality Street round Codswallop cul-de-sac to home fearing for my life and all the time it was ACTING ????

Ohhhhhh I need a drink, pass me that bottle..
Glug glug. Now let me carry on with the All Day Breakfast's I just hope I dont slip on the smashed egg .......

Well you can relax S and stop drinking because you didn't witness a murder. Giani, Gusto and the weird lady with a limp, who is actually very nice and doesn't really have a limp, are all members of an amateur theatre group.

They were rehearsing a new play called 'Death by Cooking Pot' and as well as practising that scene also wanted to see if they could produce a realistic chalk outline of a body.

If only you hadn't ran away which I must say knowing what a state your feet are in is pretty impressive, all would have been explained. You wouldn't have got drunk and would have realised that your thong is back to front.

That must be very uncomfortable by the way.

So what are you going to call little Giani's friend Doodle? I think you need to be a little more adventurous this time and resist the urge to call this one Gusto.

The pizzas have gone down well haven't they. The boys are very impressed with your culinary skills (they still don't know they came from Dominoes shhhhhh).

That's quite a story. No one could possibly have made that up so I'm inclined to believe you.

Serendipity you’re not very good at strip Dominoes are you.
Mind you the boys seem agog at your choice of undies. Do you always wear your thong back to front ?
Smileless I have been to the pet shop to collect Giani’s fish friend…… he’s a little bigger than I expected but they seem happy swimming in the bath together ?
They boys seem to be enjoying the pizzas. I think they’re quite happy to have a night off from the cooking.
The lobster crawled up Giani’s back inside his shirt before it went in the pot and that’s how he got scratched. That my story and I’m sticking to it ?

Ohhhhh I am beginning to feel a little better.. ohhhhhh that was mighty strong blackcurrant juice !!!!!

Ohhhh now where was I ???? Ohhhhh yes..... the chalk on the kitchen floor ... ahhhh well you see there lays a tale..... now let me get my faculties right !!!..... ahhhhh yes now its all coming back to me...... i saw the woman with a limp slyly sneak out of the All Day Breakfast cafe and sneak round the corner.... sly beggar she was.... she looked over both shoulders for anyone lurking about, she didnt look very closely because I was watching..... anyway she shot in the kitchen door like a woman possessed.... i managed to dash up to the window but didnt get a clear view as the hog roast was hanging from the spit.... but what I did see was ...... ohhhh let me have a sip of that water,my mouth is parched.......
ahh thats better.
Now where was I ?????? Ohhhh yes, i saw the woman with the limp, limp across to Gianai who was just wiping the tops down and she shouted at him.... the kitchen fan was making a right racket so I didnt catch it all but what I did hear was "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, MARK MY WORDS."... and I saw her smack Gianai straight across his face.... yes LIKE A KIPPER....SLAP.

I thought oooooooooo my word, its getting rather heated in the kitchen and I was JUST about to turn and run when all of a sudden the biggest saucepan we have, came crashing down on the lady with the limps head and she fell forward into Gianai's arms...... i ran for my life.... i thought if the murderer ? me, i will be the next 1 clonked on the head with the cooking pot....

I ran and ran and ran... i was shaking like a leaf..... and its turned me to drink....

Someone fetch a glass of water and some ice. Giani and Gusto, don't just stand there, help me get S back into the chair. No not like that, you'll do her a damage, she's not a sack of potatoes.

There, that's better now we'll wait for her to come round. Carry on with the strip dominoes everyone, don't worry about S, she'll be back with us shortly ......... I hope.

I'm back ... ohhhhh hiccup hiccup....
Ohhh my head is BANGING .... i need to sit down on that chair in the far corner where the lights are dim....ohhhhh I give permission to throw the remaining drop of brandy down the plug hole..

Right, i feel an explanation is needed to the chalked outline of the body .... HANG ON WHILE I TAKE A SIP OF THIS RED WINE THAT GUSTO W-A-S GOING TO USE... BUT ITS SURPLUS NOW THAT DOODLE BROUGHT THE PIZZA'S. .

( GLUG GLUG.. GLUG... SWAY AND FALL OFFFFFF THE CHAIR)
