Well, the sale went through and we now own this new bar,
Isn’t it wonderful?
So clean and shiny ( that won’t last!)
Come on in, have a drink and tell the tale of what you have been up to.
All the old staff are here, in the cellar checking the stock, but will be up here shortly to take your orders.???

Think we've overdone it, the show isn't until next weekend

In the spirit of the Six Nations, I have invited my welsh friend John Thomas to join us - he’s a hooker.

Menopaws Mon 05-Feb-18 07:25:14

Marvellous! Is he the one who can juggle odd shaped balls?

lemongrove Mon 05-Feb-18 10:21:29

I have heard good things about him Jane and will look forward to Saturday night even more now!
Now, any other ideas? Would anyone like to see my dance of the seven veils?

Menopaws Mon 05-Feb-18 18:03:05

As long as you remember all seven this time, I seem to recall a few embarrassing gaps last time when you only had four veils, not quite the same.

lemongrove Mon 05-Feb-18 18:06:11

Oh I shall definitely need seven, have put a bit of Christmas weight on!

NannyTee Mon 05-Feb-18 18:06:26

No word of a lie ladies but I can juggle 3 of anything. !! Odd or even shaped . Just saying. Had a crappy day though . Been to a funeral so make mine a barrel of gin please . grin

Menopaws Mon 05-Feb-18 18:10:37

The answer to a crappy and I'm sorry you had one but if you can juggle three lemons, with your eyes shut while drinking gin from a barrel with a straw I will be very impressed. That's just for starters to see if you are true to your word

NannyTee Mon 05-Feb-18 20:13:08

Okey Dokey Meno. Just for you and the asses I will do that Chuck !

JaneD3 Mon 05-Feb-18 23:06:21

NannyTee Tue 06-Feb-18 15:14:37

Menopaws Thu 08-Feb-18 18:56:59

Hope all rehearsals are going well people, juggling Nannytee?

lemongrove Thu 08-Feb-18 20:15:26

Can’t wait for Saturday night....so exciting! Yes, I am practising my dance and have washed my veils as well.
I have sent out flyers to advertise, so we should have a packed house.
Big Jim has been barrel tapping all day and Barry has cleaned up the bar and set up a small stage and spotlights.
Had a message from the Admiral to say that he and the Captain will be attending as their ship is in port.Hooray!

Menopaws Thu 08-Feb-18 22:13:45

I'd better clean up my act if the captains in, my bottle act is a bit too naughty, at least until late in the evening. What shall I do instead? I'm pretty handy on the soda syphons

Chewbacca Thu 08-Feb-18 22:18:12

Not sure what Marydoll is doing for her turn on Saturday night but she took delivery of a box this morning and was very secretive about it. I sneaked down to the cellar after she'd gone out and had a look. It said "burlesque tassels - large", on the box. hmm

NannyTee Fri 09-Feb-18 04:44:23

Yep. Been juggling me lemons for days now. Got no light bulbs left mind. Saved me shutting my eyes at night time though. Right .. got covonia, throat gargle and plenty of straws. Now , what to wear Hmmm.

lemongrove Fri 09-Feb-18 09:19:48

Wear very little Nanny it will distract the audience from your poor juggling skills.?

lemongrove Fri 09-Feb-18 09:23:32

Hmmmn, ? burlesque tassles hey? Well,it will liven up her spoons act.

NannyTee Fri 09-Feb-18 11:27:45

Good plan lemon. ?

Menopaws Fri 09-Feb-18 17:50:50

Tassels and spoons at the same time, I can see things getting tangled
