The Lockdown Gang - Carry on Regardless.

cherry you are doing a wonderful job announcing the acts. You look very professional up on the stage. Thank you for the flowers, they are lovely. I will put them in my dressing room back stage. I’m glad we’re having a little break now as I’m desperate to pop to the loo....all this champagne is bubbling away inside and now I’ve got hiccups ??

Gosh you all look gorgeous!
Anyone mind if I take the stilettos off - my bunions are killing me?
Where’s the birthday girl - I have a bottle of champers.

Dragonfly you look stunning. Oh yes, take those shoes off. I’ve already abandoned mine somewhere.
We think the birthday girl has gone for a meal somewhere so in the meantime we are all taking turns on stage. I’ve played my first triangle performance. Mamissimo did the most amazing flamenco.
Cherry is doing a fantastic job announcing the acts. Have you brought an instrument to play ?
Here have some nibbles, they are delicious and Jeeves will get you a drink.

dragonfly I love that dress! You look very glamorous and your hair is looking really lovely. I think the birthday girl may be having another ripple before she leaves the restaurant room next door ?. I've brought everyone a bunch of flowers, this bunch is for you ?

I have brought my tambourine - maybe we could do a duet Doodle! I could hum along.

Oh thank you kind ladies.

Oh yes dragonfly that would be fun. Just hold on while I go and find out where I left my triangle......?

Please take your seats ladies, Jeeves is coming around with some more nibbles, anti-pasta anyone? please give a big round of applause as the string quartet are about to play the Fourth Movement of Dvorak's String Quartet in F major.

Wow Cherry that’s quite highbrow but wonderful!

Come on Dragonfly there’s a chair here next to me. Let’s rest our feet while the orchestra perform ?

Oops, oh dear.. sorry to interrupt and apologise, ahem, one of the string quartet has just indicated to me that he's in need of a... rest break. As this is an impromptu glitch in the performance may I please welcome dragonflyperforming on the tambourine accompanied by Doodle playing a very shiny triangle. Come into the stage and take it away ladies. Give these two lovely ladies a hearty welcome ...

Oh thank you, thank you. I am overwhelmed! Oops sorry tripped over my hem -should have put my shoes back on!

Whispering to Doodle who is that dishy conductor?

Never, not ever, no Doodle I will not do an encore. Not even in private. I fear I am undone. Thank heavens Jeeves had the good sense to pack a simple Versace robe with a few tiny ostrich feathers to cover my bonpoint. Another bottle? Please, but could I have a straw with this one please? Can I tempt you to a morsel of rubber bean roulade? Dragonfly? Just a wee nibble?

You don't think Nortsat has drunk all the green tonic? Too much tonic and you remember nothing the next morning.
Is Grammaretto on next?

Sorry Mamissimo can’t eat beans they make me f—t!

? Tinkle, tinkle...........tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, ? tinkle, tinkle, tinkle ? .

Jeeves has recorded our performance and put it on you tube for all to enjoy ?

Foxy looking conductor Doodle ?

Told you the conductor was dishy!

There you all are! I wandered off to explore the building.
Who do I toast? When?
I haven't seen Nortsat
I'm starving hungry. Is there anything left to eat?
The music sounded superb. I hadn't realised you were so professional.
What happened to your dress Dragonfly did you trip over it?

Any Chutney left......
Thanks for the flowers.

I am really going to have to go to sleep now. Is it all right if I just lie on these two chairs? Wake me up when the birthday girl appears.

yes he’s very handsome.
Oh Mamissimo the audience is begging for more. They loved your performance. I don’t think anyone has seen a flamenco finish like that when you did that triple back flip and followed up with a forward somersault landing in Jeeves arms whilst still playing the castanets, they were bowled over.
Are you sure we can’t tempt you to do an encore?

There you are Grammaretto, I wondered wher e you had got to. There's some anti-pasta knocking around, just summon Jeeves, he'll bring you a drink too. Well I think the birthday girl may have overdone it elsewhere but you could lead a toast anyway..

You were all animals up there Doodle......the passion was palpable. ?

Grammaretto I wondered where you’d got to.
There’s plenty of food Jeeves will bring it over. What would you like to drink?
Could we persuade you to go onstage and perform something while I try and get Mamissimo’s shoes back on her feet.
Dragonfly I’ll roll my coat up for you to put your head on. Yes you have a little nap. That tambourine playing must have worn you out.

I wonder if Nortsat is enjoying her birthday as much as I am ?.
