Wanted bar staff, pot washers, llama minders, customers in posh frocks.

Charleygirl the way you’ve draped yourself over that chaise longue you’ll soon be less sophisticated and more sophistimated, put your vest back on dear.

I wonder whether we might use the llamas in a Christmas tablo nearer the time. Would they like that?

AGAA4 Sun 03-Dec-23 20:06:49

I'm sure they would ixion but Alarma will have to be the star. She has made us put "Princess" on her stable door. I've given them a spray with Fabreze as they haven't been looking after their personal hygiene.

The kiddies won’t want to go for rides on them if they smell like that.
Er brook the good hose down you mentioned wouldn’t include the fire brigade would it 👨‍🚒

Callistemon21 Sun 03-Dec-23 20:20:07

Can I join please? I was usually forgiven all the cleaning jobs although The Admiral did admire my cleaning techniques 🙂

Doodle Sun 03-Dec-23 20:26:10

Not the only thing he admired as I remember Callistemon 🤣

Doodle Sun 03-Dec-23 20:26:58

Someone heard the word Bath mentioned!

8ixion* so pleased you have been given a cleaning job. I have staff to clean after the loo has been used each time. I do realise it is not a way of life to which you are accustomed but it is mine.

There must have been a case of mistaken identity because I would not drape myself over the chaise long there and I would not be drunk because I do not drink beer or spirits. I prefer coffee but I would not touch it there as it was probably used with the llamas' urine.

I was going to send one of my butlers to help but all refused, preferring the fine life here.

ixion Sun 03-Dec-23 20:31:57

Hey, why was Calli 'forgiven all the cleaning jobs'?

That's not fair.

Blimey. There's always one, isn't there🤦‍♀️

The local fire brigade did help us out last year Doodle

LauraNorderr Sun 03-Dec-23 20:40:29

👋 Calli, I do believe you were excused cleaning jobs in the ladies but the gents still need your expertise. A brand new plunger awaits you, I know, I spoil you.

Callistemon21 Sun 03-Dec-23 20:40:57

Given!!

Too much poteen 😁

LauraNorderr Sun 03-Dec-23 20:42:27

Now where did Pasty disappear to? Hope she hasn’t locked herself in the cellar with Thor.

ixion Sun 03-Dec-23 20:44:38

She won't need a new plunger in there.
Rather a pair of welly boots (tee hee). 🤨

I think we need a few new sailors, though.
The Admiral spends a lot of time snoring now, drooling in his armchair.

😁 Can't wait to get my hand in there!

It’s quiet here at the steaming sudsy sink. Lots of pots and glasses to wash but I’ve got a book propped up behind the taps so I’m happily reading as I scrub. I can hear the raucous laughter out front! What’s happening? I’m curious but I need to crack on. I can hardly keep up otherwise.

Doodle Sun 03-Dec-23 20:55:39

Urms you’re not reading THAT book are you 😱.
You’re doing a grand job, the glasses have never been cleaned looked so shiny before.

Patsy70 Sun 03-Dec-23 21:01:30

I’m here, I’m here! Sorry, I had a little too much poteen, on top of the cocktails and various other little beverages that I couldn’t resist! That is my downfall. So now I’m locked in the cellar! Hopefully, I’ll wake up in time to resume my duties (😳).

Doodle Sun 03-Dec-23 21:04:38

Oh Patsy it’s happened to us all. Don’t get too comfortable on the pile of rags in the corner. It’s the Admiral sleeping it off as usual.

LauraNorderr Sun 03-Dec-23 21:04:45

Patsy we’ll let you sleep it off while we clean the pole, your greasy dungarees have made a right mess, but I must say your attempts at pole dancing were pretty good until you fell on your head.

LauraNorderr Sun 03-Dec-23 21:05:57

You’re right Calli we need new fresh sailors, they do wear out quickly, not called matelots for nothing

Urmstongran Sun 03-Dec-23 21:10:40

I’m running out of Fairy Liquid in here. Any suggestions?

Patsy70 Sun 03-Dec-23 21:13:28

Thank you so very much. I really don’t think I can get too comfortable as the Admiral is unable to accommodate me for very long, as he seems to be waking up, judging from the strange noises emanating from his various orifices. I ned another cocktail before resuming my duties.
