We can’t let Geoffrey be all dressed up with nowhere to go. I’ll pop in on to my dance card, empty at the moment. Even the Admiral hasn’t asked me 😢

I’m not dancing with a giraffe, I asked for Matt Damon! Or Brad Pitt at least.Who’s this old Admiral?

Oh Laura my English slipped up. Wait a minute, it doesn't matter, I am not English. I came to this foreign country from Scotland for a year but it has been a long one, around 45 of them.

I will still come, wanting to eat fish and chips, wearing my night attire. Is that any better?

Depends on the night attire, is it a shortie nightie with sparkly bits?

I forgot Geoffrey's photo! Isn't he handsome?

He certainly is.

That long neck could guzzle a lot of mulled wine, though.
As long as he promises to behave, he's allowed to come.

Can I bring Geoffrey? He may not be a llama but he is quite well behaved.

Depends.

Will he scoff all the chocolates and drink all the mulled wine?

If so, leave him at home! 🎄

The furniture removers delivered all our possessions yesterday, mostof it boxes of books. I will bring several boxes of books as a present for everyone and plenty of mulled wine to drink whileyou read them curled up in front of a fire.

Thank you for explaining LauraNorder.

If there are snakes and spiders, I won't be coming.

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:10:58

MartavTaurus if we have to hold spiders and snakes then yes Oreo there are bound to be fireworks.

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:08:08

Llamas were ordered in error when a patron of the ArgyBargy wanted a sparkly outfit and ordered gold lame ( I don’t know how to put an acute accent over the e but you get the drift.
The first llamas arrived sprayed with gold sparkles and the rest as they say is history.

Is Cantucci something to do with fried chicken?

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 14-Dec-25 10:52:25

Thank you Samsara, I don't mind if I do.
NanKate's blanket will be useful for FGT as she has forgotten to put on her vest, silly girl.

Oreo Sun 14-Dec-25 10:27:35

Some sort of animal?😁

I just had a parcel of treats from Carluccio's I'll bring the Cantucci.

Sounds good tho I have no clue what it is🤭

Perhaps we could have snakes, spiders and lizards, like some children have to hold at their parties? 🐍 🕷

Why must we have llamas at our party? They’ve gone out of fashion, it’s all unicorns and giraffes now you know.Is there going to be fireworks?💥

I wondered that, too.
I've heard llamas mentioned on several occasions, but they must be before my time - literally on GN!

Can I come if I bring some home made Scottish tablet?

No, we don’t have wifi 🤭

^David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!^

Hope he brings lots of sample bottles!

….but not buckets of samples!🤢
