Evening Fido. Wanna join me for a game of skittles mate?
William, please could you bring a hogshead of best rhubarb and ginger beer over and some pud when you have a spare minute? Fido and I will be in the skittle alley. If you see Biggles perhaps you could send him down too. He can be our ball dog.

I've just brought my tea across from the cafe thanks Petrat (gnocchi, homemade potato wedges and tomato sauce - real tomato suace that is, not red sauce).
I would like some cherry (or other fruit) brandy though please.

There's not much left in the bottle.

I've eaten them (with a bit of help from my friends...).
I'm very fond of skittles, especially the strawberry ones and the lime ones.

What a rotten lot! I was scoring at the Christian Aid Skittles final on Tuesday, and hoped for more of the same.
No wonder you're both dashing from cafe to tavern - you must have a tremendous sugar rush!

Oooh, that looks great, petrat!
Proper barriers at the side! At Tuesday's final there was just a carpet, and the only thing protecting my feet from errant balls was a shet of hardboard - it had to do service once or twice too!
Shall we have a game? I'm a lousy bowler, but I could score.

I prefer the sugar variety.
Not much good at bowling, my wrists aren't strong enough and I like my flute and clari too much to ruin my wrists.

William, after that afternoon shopping with DC I need a very large and very boozey drink please. I'll go and take a seat beside the log fire. We may be on summer time now but it is still very chilly after dark.
Come and have a chat , Fido. Tell me all about your day.
