What do you think, great place or what?

Doodle Sat 16-Jun-18 21:20:42

I felt left out not having a pet of my own so I have just been to the local farm to "borrow" one. He is very cute and won't make much any mess. I have named him Pinky (as in perky) ? . Just don't anyone mention bacon sandwiches.....he gets a bit upset if you do. ???

Marydoll Sat 16-Jun-18 21:27:48

Oh dear, Oops? I had a delicious bacon sandwich at breakfast this morning.? Don't worry about him being upset, if you get my drift.
There is not much left, but you are welcome to it.?

Doodle Sat 16-Jun-18 21:31:25

? marydoll how could you. What am I going to tell the farmer.

Marydoll Sat 16-Jun-18 21:34:51

Don't worry, Doodle, I got rid of the evidence. We sold the pork scratchings at the bar with the Poteen.
If the farmer appears, we will distract him with some ( pork) belly dancing.?‍♂️?‍♂️?

I thought it was you squealing in the cellar earlier Mary but I ignored it as not unusual but now I know what you were up to

Menopaws Mon 25-Jun-18 22:38:53

Is everyone sitting in the sun or is the Argy closed for the summer and no ones told me??

Marydoll Mon 25-Jun-18 23:34:19

Hi everyone, I've been busy in the cellar wink.
That farmer is a handsome chap.

I think we need cider in the bar in this weather - poteen doesn't rehydrate. Kegs are probably better than bottles so that the admiral doesn’t have weapons to hand. Anyone know a local farmer who brews his own?

Menopaws Tue 26-Jun-18 06:06:09

Old farmer Giles has a big orchard , with enormous apples, according to local rumours, so perhaps we could ask him

Marydoll Tue 26-Jun-18 06:58:07

I can confirm that! wink

Menopaws Tue 26-Jun-18 12:26:56

Thought as much Mary, perhaps you could ask him if he could make us some cider, especially if you pay him in kind!

Menopaws Tue 26-Jun-18 12:28:27

Cox might be your variety of choice? Golden delicious?

Doodle Tue 26-Jun-18 16:10:15

Ooh meno you are awful..cox ..sniggers ?

Menopaws Thu 28-Jun-18 20:40:26

ive got my comeuppance Doodle for being cheeky, ran up some concrete steps and caught my toe on the top one and think I've broken my foot! Bloody painful so that will teach me!

lemongrove Thu 28-Jun-18 20:52:12

flowers wine Meno come in and put your foot up, you poor thing.We will look after you, what are friends for? Well, yes, mainly for borrowing money I agree, but this time we will make a fuss of you.
The heatwave is losing us customers, bizarrely, as you would think everyone would want to drink non stop, I know that I do, and I have just discovered rhubarb flavoured gin.
Am so hot I have kicked off all my undies and went into the cool cellar to potter about, when I suddenly felt some warm Hans on my unmentionables.He did apologise to be fair,but I should probably get my kit back on now but it feels so nice
I may become a naturist and have another wander in the
cellar...?

Menopaws Thu 28-Jun-18 21:01:58

I'm on my way but I might take a while as I can't walk on it but please have a large whisky and ginger ready and a bag of ice for the foot, you'll have to give me a firemans lift home though or get one of the Hans to... ooh there's a good idea

lemongrove Thu 28-Jun-18 21:05:53

You have been eating rather a lot lately Meno so you may need two Hans to carry you.

Menopaws Thu 28-Jun-18 21:12:20

I'm just trying to eat the out of date pork scratchings and they are fattening but I hate waste so I'll take all the Hans you have got please. They could strap me to pole like an upside down deer now that would be a sight!

Doodle Thu 28-Jun-18 21:39:57

meno if you really have hurt your foot don't think that it can't be broken because you can walk on it because it could still be broken. Get the Hans to take you to A&E (I just want you to have a plaster cast so I can write some rude lovely things on it grin)

Don't suggest they hang you on a pole. You know lemon, she'll have you spit roasted and used as kebab meat before you can blink.

Marydoll Thu 28-Jun-18 22:31:48

Meno, I urge you to go to A&E ASAP!!!
Think of all those handsome medics you can introduce to the Argy.?
Oh how IS your foot, by the way????

Menopaws Thu 28-Jun-18 22:40:19

Agony, waiting for co codamol to kick in. Going to a and e first thing, couldn't go tonight cos no one to drive me but I will def spread the word to all the young medics about the Argy I promise but if they run away I won't be able to catch them unless I lasso them.

Marydoll Thu 28-Jun-18 22:45:07

Meno, all joking aside. I walked on a broken foot for 6 months before a scan showed two fractures. It caused long term problems. Get yourself to A&E in the morning.?

Menopaws Thu 28-Jun-18 22:49:55

I say I can walk on it but not very well, just touch heel down not the rest so don't worry I'll be off there before we go to work tomorrow, thanks for your concern smile

GrannyGravy13 Fri 29-Jun-18 10:25:59

Good morning all, how is your foot menopaws?
Still a bit early for me in SE Essex.
Wishing you all a good day ??

Menopaws Fri 29-Jun-18 10:42:25

It's not broken although they spotted a tiny line they were not sure about but it's seriously jarred and cos the joint has arthritic tendencies the little bony growths have all been smashed together and grated causing inflammation and pain. Got today and weekend off sick which I hate doing and I was all brave until I sat down waiting for husband to collect me then I couldn't move at all so I gave in.
Because we were at hospital so early there was only a small selection of medics ladies so I've let you down there, I can only apologise. I will hobble in later for some medicinal whisky
