It’s that time of year again, we are packing up and heading for the meadow with all our paraphernalia....picnic baskets, tents, chairs etc and we may be there for some time.
No husbands/partners/children/pets allowed, just GN members .....this is our little holiday after all.?
No rules, just alphabetical as usual, let your imagination run wild ( we had elephants last year.)

Zoom lens on camera - don't want to miss anything
That's practically old-hat technology! wink If I lived a bit closer I'd be launching one of my state-of-the-art drones equipped with night-time infra-red cameras so there'd be no escaping! grin

But Rufus I put 'zoom lens' because this is a game where we put items for the Jamboree ALPHABETICALLY and the letter required was Z!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you understand the game now? I do hope so or are you still a little bit confused?

Danni; Not as confused as you, apparently! shock Even in OZ we still use the English dictionary which tells me that "D" (e.g. Drone) comes after "Baskets, Candyfloss and Dates". Where have you been?
Only a woman could have designed such a confusing game.! grin

DanniRae Tue 09-Jul-19 13:35:27

I couldn't even begin to reply to your post Rufus because I can't understand it!
But I will try:
"D" doesn't come after "Baskets-Candyfloss- Dates in this game. The next post must begin with "E".
So..........
"Elastic..........for those little emergencies" smile

Fluffy throw, for those cooler moments.

Nachos

Merelina - I had to google "Membrillo"!

Merelina Thu 11-Jul-19 08:30:34

Sorry DanniRae - meant to add ‘to go with our Manchego’.

DanniRae Thu 11-Jul-19 12:16:44

Merelina - now I've got to google Manchego!! grin

Quince paste (see what I did there Merelina?)

Danni; Oh Dear! And I was just thinking you were about to launch into the lyrics of that lovely song;
"I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me!...."; then I came back to earth with a thud! grin

DanniRae Thu 11-Jul-19 12:36:10

Rufus - I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you landed? grin

lemongrove Thu 11-Jul-19 13:47:26

Rufus ...a question, are you ever going to actually play this game?
Items of use on our extended stay in the meadow in alphabetical order.
Just saying ?

lemongrove Thu 11-Jul-19 13:48:49

(Can we count Rufus as a useful item though Danni?)
grin

lemongrove Thu 11-Jul-19 13:50:27

Super strong bags to put all our rubbish in.

Rufus2 Thu 11-Jul-19 13:56:15

Don't you worry! I've enough medical specialists on my payroll these days to take care of any damage, whether it's to my head or bum! [ouch] grin

Rufus2 Thu 11-Jul-19 14:14:30

Can we count Rufus as a useful item though Danni?
Come on Danni! You've already given me the thumbs down, but maybe now repented! grin I'm a quick rules learner; it
all depends on what Lemongrove means by "useful". but I'll draw the line at filling her plastic bags with rubbish as they are against my ecological standards.sad

Nice one DanniRae.
