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.???

I’ll have a double whisky while I am waiting........

JaneD3 Tue 06-Mar-18 12:16:35

And still waiting Lemongrove. I hope you went home to bed and haven’t been sitting there with the whisky bottle all this time.
Oh dear - I thought that was a pile of clothing in the corner ...

Haha! Hello Jane I think they have all been snowed in, so they should have plenty of strange but true stories when they eventually get here.grin
I should go home for a shower and a change of clothes really, but thought I should man the bar in case anyone turned up, what’ll you have then? ????

Marydoll Thu 08-Mar-18 22:18:05

I had to come here on my skis⛄??️
The snow just melted and then it all started again. I've been snowed in for a week.☹️
I don't suppose you have any water. I'm on the wagon.
That last shindig was unforgettable.??

Marydoll don’t mention the W word! I need something soothing for the throat - just spent an evening with Wagner. And with a hunky choir master, but that’s supposed to be a secret blush.
Brandy and Benedictine I think.

lemongrove Fri 09-Mar-18 14:38:02

A friend has a cat called Wagner, you don’t mean him I suppose Jane??
Bring your hunky choir master in here....we could do with a bit of class.

Right it's Saturday night and as we all know that's alright for fighting so who is in tonight , we have loads of out of date stock that needs clearing so half price poteen , which is bubbling away nicely in the cellar, and a variety of good stuff by request so who is up for a snifter?

Marydoll Sat 10-Mar-18 21:55:03

I suppose I could push the boat out and have some water with my ice and lemon?

Chewbacca Sat 10-Mar-18 21:57:54

Could I just have a cup of tea and something to eat? I can't get in my kitchen and I'm starving!

Marydoll Sat 10-Mar-18 22:36:32

Ok, Chewy, I've just made you a sandwich. I cleaned out my fridge today and the criteria was that anything a couple of weeks out of date would still be ok to eat.
Just ignore the green bits on the cheese and the slightly rancid smell of the butter. ?
Lemon and Meno don't seem to have suffered any ill effects.
Come to think of it, they have been in the ? for some time.?

Chewbacca Sat 10-Mar-18 22:40:18

Gee thanks Marydoll. Oh well, I suppose I could look on the mould as my daily dose of penicillin I suppose. And as my own fridge is so near and yet so far, I don't have much choice. Needs must! nom nom nom

Menopaws Sat 10-Mar-18 22:47:18

What happened to my drinking buddies? All these cups of tea and water, ridiculous!

Marydoll Sat 10-Mar-18 22:55:29

Oh, I so want a drink, just doped up to the eyeballs!
I'm afraid of what the the consequences will be if I partake of the Poteen.???

Chewbacca Sat 10-Mar-18 22:59:39

I'll save the poteen until Monday night. I reckon I'll be in need of it by then.

Marydoll Sat 10-Mar-18 23:01:39

I've got to wait until Thursday until. I can partake.?

Yes, I have the days counted.?????

JaneD3 Sat 10-Mar-18 23:02:24

A large poteen please! Feeling the need x

Marydoll Sat 10-Mar-18 23:04:40

That's right Jane, rub it in! ?
Some of us are suffering here.
What happened to the sisterhood?

Chewbacca Sat 10-Mar-18 23:08:06

Jane can have this mouldy sandwich to soak up her poteen. After a skinful of that, she'll need all the penicillin she can get!

Menopaws Tue 13-Mar-18 04:57:46

I didn't think we had any sandwiches. Has anyone seen the foam bottom to my floor mop, I put it on the counter to dry and it's gone missing.

Marydoll Tue 13-Mar-18 08:09:06

????

lemongrove Tue 13-Mar-18 23:35:44

Some people will eat anything Meno !

A large Jack Daniels please and some cheese and pineapple crisps.

I have brought plenty of supplies with me and restocked the fridge and freezer out the back, as I heard that we will have snow showers later this week.
We must keep the log fire going as well, in fact I will probably just sit here in this comfy chair until after the weekend ( getting up and moving around a bit of course)
And I will man the bar if others agree to clean up, restock
the cellar and organise karaoke night.

lemongrove Tue 13-Mar-18 23:37:59

Jason the alsation has come with me, but am afraid his waterworks are not that reliable and he often mistakes legs for trees.Be kind!

lemongrove Tue 13-Mar-18 23:39:04

My own waterworks are not that reliable either btw.?

Chewbacca Wed 14-Mar-18 00:06:15

Hang on! When I got home last night, I found a large dark, damp patch on the back of my anorak. I thought it was from that dribbling tank in the outside lav. I hope it wasn't your damned dog lemon?

Menopaws Wed 14-Mar-18 07:32:13

Better warn the admiral in case he pees on his wooden leg
