We could compromise and have an OS Festival in Monna’s garden, the Heffelumps can go and play on the beach and I have heard a whisper that she grows jelly babies.

(Why let the truth get in the way of a good story :rotfl::rotfl:)

Karcher, what do you mean by am I casting aspidestras on our crew? Of course I am.

Floss, I'll fight you for Johnny Depp, and I warn you now, I fight dirty. Actually he's not really my type either, but, as my grandmother would have said, he'll pass in a crowd with a good hard push. Anyway, I'm in no position to be picky.

nanny.w, Apparently Hester has enough wool to tie you to the prow. All you have to do is to practise singing that song - the name of which I will remember as soon as I switch off.

Not sure about having a festival in my garden, Islandmaid. There may well be a jelly baby tree lurking in the wilderness masquerading as a garden. There could be coconuts growing for all I know.

Oh no Monna, you wouldn't want me singing anything. They say the Welsh are born singers, unfortunately I sound more like Foghorn Lil. Was that behind your thinking ? To tie me to the mast in foggy weather :rotfl:.

"My heart will go on." That's the one Nannyw. Get warbling, and if my garden is chosen in preference to the seven seas we will tie you to the clothes post.

Don’t sail off without me. I feel the need for a medicinal cruise after the past 48hrs.

After finding out that my cousin had written her own funeral - including some very painful poetry, I gave in and actually asked DH to come. Thank goodness he did. We were all in tears from the first bars of the music at the crematorium. The memorial at the Kirk was worse.

I think everyone was so exhausted we just crashed into bed at 9pm after copious amounts of tea. Unfortunately we were then woken at 3 by the news my sisters house had been broken into. We had third hand news and no confirmation that her dog was ok until 9 this morning.

So wet dishrag will report tomorrow at 0800 for deck swabbing if that will be acceptable. I’m going to sleep.

Okaaaaaaay so I step away for a while and you've all gone mad :rotfl:

Don't worry about Leo - I'll take him off your hands :cool:

I'm a dab hand with a windlass if that's any good

monnagran

FBO what an ordeal for you. It will take you a few days to get over the nightmare of the last couple.
You must be emotionally wrung out.
Don't worry, there is a deckchair in the sun with your name on it.

karcher

So sorry you've had such a rough time FBO.

I am so glad OH went with you.

Take care xx

VJsmum we can have a Windlass wanging competition. I have a search magnet if we lose one overboard. You are also welcome to Leo, also not my type.
Hugs FBO how horrible.
On the subject of hefferlumps a family member was recommended to lose weight and provided with a diet sheet.
The diet was ignored as 'diets don't work, look at elephants, all they eat is grass and look how fat they are!'
As they say, there is no cure for stupidity.

Oh dear FurryBeastOz, what a horrible time I'm so sorry (((HUGS))) I hope you'll be able to relax now.
