Merry Christmas

Is there a piano? DS has been playing for a lot of events and parties lately and he says he can play most requests for songs from the 1920’s onwards if they can be played on piano. (He brings up chords and words on the iPad).

There’s definitely an old Joanna down in the basement somewhere singingnutty
Ideal for your DH if he doesn’t mind the local kids from Pigstrotter Alley Primary joining in with carols and raising a few bob for charity. They’re also wanting llama rides again … 🙄

Croft it shall be Lesley60 alongside a bit of Harvey’s so there’s a choice. The seafood sounds good ladies as do the sweet treats. No need for any dinner that’s for sure!

Since it's Christmas I've invited Santa!

ixion Wed 17-Dec-25 19:41:42

Well that's last time I bring a real Christmas tree 🌲😡

If the llamas aren't housetrained, would the Management kindly keep them out.

➡️ Soggy Secret Santas - sorry about that.

Doodle Wed 17-Dec-25 20:29:53

House trained Ixion…..house trained !!!! This is the Argy we’re talking about. Chaos rules. Sorry about your tree. I wondered why it had died off so quickly. Never mind just put loads of baubles on it and no one will notice……..apart from the smell. Please will you get May Hem off the top of the tree she’s far too old now to be the Christmas Fairy.

As Aga is still busy brewing the next batch of Poteen, I’ve put the sprouts on to cook. . With a bit of luck they should be done by Christmas.

AGAA4 Wed 17-Dec-25 20:42:54

Poteen is almost ready Doodle and I've found some of Lemongrove's recipes for cocktails. The one I'm serving tonight is vodka, crushed mint leaves and a drop of bleach.

brook2704 Wed 17-Dec-25 21:00:25

Oops apologies for the llamas ixion they do get a bit frisky this time of year and Gnasher overindulged on the mince pies
That’ll clear the airways Aga thanks for that, I’ll try a Tipsy Santa later 🍸

ixion Wed 17-Dec-25 21:27:09

Where is he, Brook, your frisky Santa?

Are you hiding him from the rest of us?

ixion Wed 17-Dec-25 22:44:31

Oops, sorry Brook.
I meant to refer longingly to your Tipsy 🎅 .

nanna8 Thu 18-Dec-25 00:34:39

Just had 2 dozen bottles of chateau tahbilk marsanne delivered- so I’ll bring a few of them. Yummy wine. I believe the late Princess Di liked it, so it’s good enough for me,too.
I’d bring the pussy cats but they fluff up and hiss if there are any other creatures present.

I over indulged on the mince pies too so I think I’ll like Gnasher, is he the chucker out? The one wearing Speedos?
I’ll have a couple of Tipsy Santa’s too just tip them into a pint of Guinness will you?
Nobody has admired my silver sequinned dungarees yet 🤬

Oreo Thu 18-Dec-25 07:33:48

Are there any pickled eggs?

AGAA4 Thu 18-Dec-25 11:14:02

Gnasher is head Llama Oreo and now you've mentioned Speedos he will want a pair. Alarma will be wanting silver sequinned dungarees too. She is such a diva.
Sorry brook I can see the llamas will be very demanding soon. You're the only one who can calm them down.

AGAA4 Thu 18-Dec-25 11:20:58

Nice to see you Ixion you haven't been around for ages. Have you been locked in the cellar with Glorious George? Or did you jump aboard the Stiff Barnacle with Lord and Lady Lemongrove.

Doodle Thu 18-Dec-25 20:41:27

Oreo there are some jars of pickled eggs on the shelf at the back of the cellar. It’s a bit dark down there but I think that’s what they are …..🤔

brook2704 Thu 18-Dec-25 21:07:51

It’s fine AGA - remember I spent all of July on the intensive llama training course, after last year that’s the least I could do
Don’t let Humpfree hear as you know he thinks he’s head llama, poor thing he wouldn’t stand a chance with Gnasher. Alarma is prancing about as usual and making such a fuss over getting her Christmas nails done. Muffin is our newest addition this year, quite classy - surprisingly
Did you get the karaoke machine up from the cellar Doodle, we could do with a good sing song

ixion Thu 18-Dec-25 21:18:32

Hello Aga😀
Yup, still here. I have been down at the harbour looking for Lady Lemongrove.

Lots of other Ladies 🤔 there. They said they'd be along later.
Hmmmm.

ixion Thu 18-Dec-25 21:24:19

I bought some cheeses to add a bit of class, make our own cheese counter.

The smelly 🇫🇷 stuff I have scattered liberally round the moribund tree.
That'll mask the llamas' pong.

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 16:00:06

The floor is looking very sparkly, glinting in lovely Christmas colours among the straw. Have the fairies been?

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 16:01:31

Oh no, just realised the llamas have eaten all the tinsel. Not digested it very well, pooee, smelly sparkles.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Dec-25 17:13:06

Laura I think Humpfree has eaten the fairy from the top of the tree. It's missing and he's not looking well. I would keep well away for the next few hours.
Muffin sounds good Brook. I hope the other llamas don't corrupt him.

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 18:29:02

Well let’s hope it doesn’t have wings when he finally passes it

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:32:58

I just stood in something squishy👀

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:35:14

I found the jar of pickled eggs but will give them a miss, it said best before 1945🤢
