The Old Lady
Yes please Add. I have a headache. Own fault though, I had a glass of red wine with my beef at lunch time, and am suffering for it now.
And it will get worse Add, I have to go out tonight with Barry. We are going to Symphony Hall to listen to Chris Rea. Very noisy what?? laugh.gif laugh.gif
May goes upstairs to get ready singing, "This is the road to that hot place"
Carrot Cake??
May.
petrat
blink.gif Out with that Barry Parry, May? Heavens woman, what are you thinking of? You'd be safer out with a band of pythons, old bean. The very idea!

Lidd seems to have gone off again and so does Tickles and so I am going to have an evening in by the fire. I am going to bring some of the snow in on a tray to do some model making. It's a bit too cold outside to do it there.

I may make a new hat too. smile.gif
The Old Lady
NO Addy, not Clarry Larry, another Barry that I know and you don't rolleyes.gif He's very good with his hands............plays the guitar a treat. tongue.gif
Clarri is more an octopus than a python Add, an instrument in each tentacle........a clarinet, a saxaphone, a descant recorder and so on. wacko.gif
Mr Rea was very good Addy, if a little loud, but I just turned my hearing aids down a bit. The intro to "The Road to that hot place" was very good. He did the blues as well. All he needs to add in is some jazz and he'll be able to do the lot laugh.gif
What did you model in snow Addy?? Did you put it in the freezer??
May.
petrat
Yes, you are right about Barry Parry, May. An octopus if ever I saw one! A one-man band wot ought to be banned as Liddy would say.

My snow model was not really a success so I just added it to the stew pot instead. It seemed a pity to waste good snow.

I have decided to sel my natural horn on ebay. I had reached dizzy heights with it and now i want to try an alphorn instead. I am going to have some yodelling lessons too and then try one of those grade one challenge things. Do you think that I would get any sponsors from the Camel?

I'm particularly proud of my kazooing. People flock for many miles to see me on a kazoo.

Riding cowboy style....... laugh.gif
petrat
No, no! You are thinking of a kangaroo! Harry Parry is hopeless on one of those. No sense of balance at all!
Haddock Lil was particularly taken with his kazoo though. No taste, that one!

Did you know that the opposite of a kangaroo is a can'tgaroo? Liddy's bert invented that one. Terrible isn't it!
The Old Lady
Add, I didn't think that snake lady read this thread blink.gif blink.gif tongue.gif Maybe she does after all smile.gif
Hello BOA wave.gif wave.gif wave.gif
There's a lot more to Larry than meets the eye Add, clarinet, saxaphone, descant, kazoo...........did you hear him on that thing, awful wasn't it?? Nearly as bad as moi, you only have to ask that singing lady, Katyjoy to verify that laugh.gif laugh.gif ph34r.gif She was next to me on her recorder.
Anyway Add, did you have a good day??
Where are Lidd, Tickles, Rhonda and Joanie???
May.
petrat
Yes, the snake lady is back. Hi Feather old thing. (Very old thing indeed!) How's your snakes dear? Her niece was down in Anglesey the other day playing with the Marquis' fine instrument.

I don't know where the others have gone but they've been gone for several days. Up to no good I'll be bound! No better than they ought, that lot. Not a touch of refinement between the lot of them.

Do you think that Feather Boa wants a panad? She's gone a bit quiet. Perhaps it is because the second snake is wrapped around her throat a bit too friendly-like? She does look a bit purple.

A good day? I think so. I really can’t remember.
The Old Lady
Can't remember Add??? How many gins have you had dear?? Too many by the sound of it. blink.gif tongue.gif
I think that they've all gorn orf with Larry and Winford, dressed in cycling shorts and drinking my favourite scotch, up to Scotland, and moved in with Joanie. Bet they've even taken Tickles rather large organ and Barking Tom on the top laugh.gif
Bet that BOA woould love a Panad, expecially if I made some carrot cake to go with it.
May.
goodNight.gif dust.gif thereThere.gif
petrat
Make it a panad quick May. Feather is looking rather unwell now. That snake is being far too friendly, hanging on to her neck like that. She looks as if she could use a glass of your favourite tipple too, and rather fast if she is going to survive the advances of said snake.

I am off for a ride on Dobbin. See you later. Tally ho old duck.
sbhoa
Was that home made carrot cake I saw going around and a nice panad to dunk it in?
Don't want none of that supermarket rubbish!
Best keep the rodents out of the way, it's a while since my pets had fresh meat.....
The Old Lady
ALways home-made Boa, have a slice, do

IPB Image

Did you have a good ride Addy. No falling off I trust. Did you have a ride past Plas Newydd, where I did my triumphant recital on the joanna? I'll have to do my performance diploma soon on my trumpet Add. Can you coach me dear? rolleyes.gif

Add, they have some ladies cycling shorts in Lidl on offer, shall I buy us some?? blink.gif wacko.gif

May.
petrat
I had a lovely ride thanks, Great May. We went along the new footpath round the village, past the Camel and down towards the old quarry. I didn't fall off and I didn't nod off either. It has been known! sleep.gif

Still no sign of the others? They must have had a good weekend. I expect that they will surface soon.

Want to have a go on my new and extra-large supersized crunhorn May? I made it from a kit. Good innit?
The Old Lady
Love the new crummyhorn Add. The kit was a good idea, I like recycling. The baked bean can in the middle was novel, and the ring pulls for keys was brilliant laugh.gif
Shall we go for a swift half in the camel Add??
May.
Miss Ross
Hello girls! biggrin.gif

Did you miss us? Would have come back sooner if we hadn't got snowed in. blink.gif Just as well we weren't wearing cycling shorts really. wacko.gif
The Old Lady
Well you should be Joanie, thay are all the rage here in Anglesea. We have 2 pairs each on offer from Lidl.
Bryn the singer nearly passed out with passion when he saw Addy in hers down the Camel. Said he'd never seen anything like it in his life rolleyes.gif I bet he hadn't. He's led a very sheltered life you know.
Panad??
May.
The Old Lady
Well where is everyone then?? dry.gif
Helooooooooooooooooooooo, anyone there. I'm here but I'm not all there blink.gif
Ah well, I'll make a panad, and some Bara Brith.
May.
DaisyChain

The Old Lady
Afternoon Lidd, there's some strange goings-on on other threads today. They're casting nasturtiums on my character because I showed 'em my lacy gloves. Lidd, racy gloves are a neccessity when you have hot flushes like I get..........you have to have the holes to keep cool laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
Here's a panad and some bara brith.

pianoboe
Ay, I had a good paddle, but I tell you, it was everso cold! Not to be recommended when it's raining...my niece did warn me, but I was determined, but ran home chilled to my bones afterwards.

Anyway, anyway, enough about me, how are you two getting on?

Here's tea smile.gif IPB Image

My niece is in her 20's...Getting old now aren't they...laugh.gif
Miss Ross
Hello girls!

Lovely tea cosy you've got there Millipede. (Shouldn't someone tell her how ridiculous she looks? blink.gif)
The Old Lady
Don't Juney, let her think she's the bees' knees. Poor old bat thing. She's been in Bournemouth for ages. What's the prison there called??? ph34r.gif
May.
Miss Ross
Oh yes, I know the one you mean dear. Probably best we don't mention it infront of her though, those sorts are easily provoked. unsure.gif
pianoboe
Oi, I heard that, you two! This tea cosy had multiple purposes! Just you wotcha!

*leaves in huff*
The Old Lady
Oh dear Joanie, do you think we've upset her wink.gif
DaisyChain

Hi Millidotty. Nice to see you here again. Good of you to drop in. Got any cake? Never drop in without comestibles. .

Miss Ross
Wow, that's quite a lot of cake... Had some time on your hands, have you dear? biggrin.gif
The Old Lady
Yes I have dear sad.gif No one was coming out to play laugh.gif
I've run out of sugar and flour now, ah well. Have to do the Waitrose skips later. Addy always does the Lidl ones.............no class that woman wink.gif
Want a pair of my glass earrings Joanie?? Made them from a milk bottle. wacko.gif
May.
petrat
No class? May, how could you! I used to do the Tesco skips until they put a guard dog on patrol there. Now I try to do the Asda ones.

Posh butties though, May. Bung us another of those white ones.
Miss Ross
Sorry, I've been trying out my new cycling shorts. It's been raining though and they don't seem to be very waterproof.
How about the Morrisons skips? Or is that even less classy? unsure.gif
I'd love a pair....they look a bit sharp though! eek.gif
petrat
Morrisons skips are the best. Full of dead Easter eggs they are now.
The Old Lady
YOu 2 will be the death of me. Asda and Morrisons..........humph wacko.gif
Waitrose is the best. biggrin.gif Even the rats in the skips have plums in their mouths laugh.gif
May.
petrat
Well, what a waste of good plums then! Most of the rats that I have seen like meat and chocolate rather than fruit. So does Liddy's Bert come to thing of it. No five-a-day for him!

Panad anyone? Eddie and Dobbin are in the kitchen because of the bad weather but there is room for a few more.
Miss Ross
Look what I got in the post this morning girls! smile.gif

Berlin, Germany
April 2008

Hello Jeannie,

I thought that by now some of you might be wondering where I am. Well, I've come to the homeland of one of my idols, Bach. Yes, that's right - I'm sending you this from Berlin. Have arranged to buy a little cottage in Essen; the local men have been most helpful and the organs are truly wonderful!

Please say hello to the other ladies, and Lidd, for me. You must all come and visit soon!

Yours, Tickles x
DaisyChain

I got meself some holly helli lessons on 'ow ta talk proper..an' I 'ad ta walk arahnd wiv a broom 'andle stuffed dahn me back an' books stuck on me 'ead an' all. Weren't my fault they froo me aht after a week. They reckon they can't do nuffing for me. Bloomin' cheek they got mad.gif

Wondered where Ticklish was. 'As she gorn off wiv Off His Head Tim then? unsure.gif Bet she is 'avin' a good time eh? Mebbe we could go an' see 'er. Addy's mate won a few bob on the lotty fing. What d'ya reckon then?

Mebbe not..I'll stick kettle on instead. smile.gif

Fairly soon I think. I can't remember where I am going to though. I need a holiday Lidd. How about that Limoges place? I like the big blond cows that they have there. We could go on a cow spotting trip!
DaisyChain

'Ave anuvver panad while I get me map aht the shed. Be back in a minnit dear. smile.gif
petrat
Yes, bon-bons are French, Lidd. They are those big pink sweet things rolled in coloured icing sugar that pull your fillings out when you chew hard. We went to Luggage van's house a while ago. You got us thrown out for playing the old boy's best piano if you recall. We got banned from several places on that trip. It was great fun!

So Italy it is then?
DaisyChain
Did we? Yeah so we did. I fought that was in Ostria dear. That was where me boy went ta meet 'is maker, swee'eart. Gawd bless 'im. I wanna see the 'ouse what 'e was BORN in dear. Flippin' 'eck Add. That win 'as gorn ta ya head wacko.gif
