    Number 1 NSD in the Cauldron of Doom!

    Must say, Hubert looked stunning in his ballgirl outfit as he gracefully clip clopped across the court to retrieve the ball. There were a few complaints about Mrs Doyle's giant tea urn blocking the view of the game for some of the audience, but they soon shut up when she got the well-matured egg sarnies out, in fact some turned a funny shade of green......Igor kept flashing his knees at Tatty, who in turn hitched her tennis skirt a bit higher, honestly, I'll be glad when those two are married off, sickening displays of coochy-cooing all over the place!

    For me, tennis is a bit too strenuous in this weather, so I'll stick to reclining on the sun lounger outside my tent and sampling Chef's cocktails. I hear Chef and Igor are playing against Bert and Bertha tomorrow, should be an interesting game, they've been batting Chef's meatballs all over the place as practice. And Hubert thinks he saw a womble lurking outside his tent, but it was just Tatty in her onesie looking for the Portaloos......

    Cheffie has kindly and generously offered to give you a few bottles of his pilchard and honeysuckle aquavit,thus saving you from forking out on buying a cheeky red. :T

    I hear that Hubert's turn as ballgirl to the rescue was a resounding success,except for the moment when he felt a bit faint and they had to send in a reinforced stretcher to lift him off centre court.He was soon revived with copious quantities of intravenous Ribena and a few scoops of the infamous Chunky Monkey....phew!

    Like you I'm getting fed up of watching all these lovey dovey displays of affection between 'Peaches' and 'Studmuffin'.
    And I wish that Igor would cover up his knees.Sexy they ain't.

    Anyway,I'm off to help Mrs Doyle get the refreshment tent ready.
    I've hidden all the hard boiled eggs btw,so am hoping to make that very refined English standard:cucumber sandwiches and HM lemonade,along with some dainty slices of cake.If we're really good,we might even get some strawberries and cream! :D

    If you here screeching,it's Mrs D in a panic about the disappearing eggs.
