Well, that did it!
Soon all the neighbours were in their gardens making a cacophony with anything resembling a musical instrument they could grab hold of.

fairfraise Thu 22-Apr-21 08:44:41

What a racket thought Nora. She asked Robert to come to the back room with her where it was quieter. No more wine for you. Have a cup of tea.

As she poured the tea into two china cups , a flustered Robert de Niro came through the door , feathers fluttering in his wake , carrying his violin case from which came strange squawking sounds ." Tea , Mr de Niro?" she asked .

fairfraise Thu 22-Apr-21 18:15:16
