your my schpecial one cheebs

Decides to leave T+C to it

Did I miss something while I was snoozing on a sunlounger?

The schpecial unionionion of Treeble and Chebor

So why did no one wake me??

You've just missed a wedding!

So I see....

What's happened to the Bombay Sapphire gin? I was looking forward to some of that...
aah. Even in perfect chill-out places, things run out sometimes. I'll try the fizzy stuff instead. Anyone for fizz?

Ooh, I'm sure I saw an advert for this concert. Isn't it the one with Dmitri singing in the second half? <pulls on most flattering party frock and takes seat in front row>

anacrusis, you know me - if there are bubbles going...

I don't think Dmitri Shostakovich will be in a fit state to sing Debs, he's 100 this year but ain't looking to good for his age!

No Boo no - not Dmitri Shostakovich, Dmitri Hvorostovsky

*hands out unusually generous glasses of bubbles* somewhat slow, sorry, but I'd got distracted by Google earth and a daughter traumatised by last night's Doctor Who.

I'm surprised you could pronounce that so well after all your chardonnay!

*relaxes under viola tree while plucking own viola to the theme tune of This Morning*

Anyone in?

Quiock pop in on a revision break

*Pops into the jacuzzi for a relaxing break before the wedding*

Can I have some champagne please?

*flops down on a beanbag*

mmm... cranberry juice

Beanbags, what a great idea *collapses*

I feel so virtuous, I finally did some proper revision: Maths, and started History, but am now taking a break.

*Takes morning tea and toast out to the garden and listens to the birds singing, and the windchimes*

i hate essays!!!!!!!!!

oooo... look, a butterfly!

*wanders over to tuna and sweetcorn pasta tree and takes a bowl, smothering it generously in clotted cream*

I didn't notice that tree before.. I'll have some too....

Ohhh tuna and sweetcorn pasta, yum!

*settles down for bowl for lunch and feels inspired to write poetry*

With clotted cream I hope!

Oh Jane, do share!

walking is powerfully relaxing.

Who wants to take a stroll with me down that tranquil, tree-lined pavement?

I'll come! I spy a banana and cinnamon pancake tree at the end!

Ohhh yes please...look the blossom is out and it smells so lovely

No one? Awwww
Is walking really that ennui-inducing for most people? ?

janexxx, oh I really appreciate your accompaniment!!!!
I was about to walk away

Yes , the blossoms are lovely, by the way

Boo Radley, I'll pick one for you to swap with your cinnamon pancake

I'll come for a walk with you Anastasia!

I said I'd come too Anastasia - see above. I love a good walk, especially when it's delicately fragranced by banana and cinnamon pancake trees!

That's the first walk I've been on that's downhill going AND coming back

Oh dear. That sounds as if it's downhill all the way from here....
*trips over a cinnamon pancake, and eats the banana*

mmm..... pancake.........

someone left roses outside my bedroom door today!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww

guess what, cheeble

I'M THE ONE WHO LEFT THOSE ROSES THERE!!!!!

Don't they smell nice?

Virtually or really??

Ahh there's the juice fountain...I'll just have a glass of carrot and orange to set me up for the day. Strange how it always becomes the flavour you want.

Needed the chill out so much, that I've just spent a week in bed with a migaine. I'm finding the quieter darkened corner of the chill out room, getting a glass of carrot, bettroot and apple juice from the juice fountain, whilst listenening to some lovely English String Music. The Orchestra you've hired to perform the Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis by Vaughan Williams are great, and they've agreed to play Elgar's Introduction and Allegro next,and are promising Peter Warlock's Capriol Suite after that. If I twist their arm, they may even play some Malcolm Arnold...

And the pancake mob have just made the most amaxzng waffles with sweet chestnut puree toppings, delicious.

*gets massive glass of pineapple, guava, apple, orange, coconut, banana, kiwi, grapefruit, passionfruit, lemon, lime and mango juice from fountain to wash down the hot cheese and onion toasted sandwich from the toastie tree*

both! the virtual roses came from Anastasia - they smell beautiful, thanks! and they're sitting over by the jacuzzi.

the real ones... well I've been first-year rep along with another girl on the college JCR Exec for most of the year, but she is now leaving to go to MIT on an exchange next year, so we have to have a by-election to replace her, so that's all been happening over the past week. one of the candidates came to talk to me about what the job involves and I proof-read his manifesto and speech... and he bought me some flowers and a card to say thank you!

you'll be pleased to know that he did indeed get elected hurray!

*wanders over to fountain to guzzle some guava juice*

Wooo double roses. Aren't you lucky, and good your friend got elected. Maybe its not luck, maybe its because you're just a special friend

Anyone for a quiet restrained and relaxing celebration. I just found out the lump in my breast I found last week was a cist...BIG RELIEF!!!! Had it drained this morning and now its GONE FOREVER!!!!

*jumps in jacuzzi to celebrate and unwind after very stressful week*

Jane - that it marvellous news.

*Takes advantage of the hot tub*

Indeed that is great news Jane, I think that deserves some celebration! *runs over to the raspberry champagne tree and grabs a few magnums*

Hooray! Jane's horrible cyst has gone forever! I'll drink to that!

Great news, Jane.
