Margaret Hale Academy of Tea-Pouring & Wallpaper Selection at the University of Milton Northern

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

Welcome to our new common room which, as you would expect, is decorated in impeccable taste (despite the limited choice of wallpapers available in Milton Northern). Above the marble mantelpiece hangs a portrait of the Vice-Chancellor of the University. As we recline elegantly on the chaise longue, we partake of tea and ratafia biscuits and discuss the works of Plato, although in the evening the finest wines and Polish cordials may be served.

::stares at muffin top and wonders whether she ought to snatch Twiggy's apple too::

The company jumps when he plays reveiile, he's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B

Those gloves of his in that last picture look as if he's taken them off too many times, Maud as the ends of the fingers are completely missing now.

And that last Gizzy pic was beyond divine, Maud. I won't be quite right all evening now.

Talk about I shall just have to devour one of those choc muffins as a consolation prize

I admit I am preening over my two recent discoveries of Whistler's Mother and the knight at asms, alone and darkly loitering.

I did wonder in that last one whether JP might have borrowed the gloves, though.

Do I dare crank up the zoom-ometer, I wonder? No, that would be just too much.

I have to say Lucas looks rather toothsome in his portrait, too.

ROFL at the previous owner of the gloves.

Wine, I need wine!

Come live with me and be my Glove, And we will all the pleasures prove.

Proffers to desperate Small.

Loitering Gizzy...thud!

As for JP...I am supposed to be getting on with my novel, but thanks to Massive I had an idea for a Porter fanfic over the weekend and have spent every spare minute of the last 48 hours researching & mentally drafting the first chapter instead.

::Offers Small a ratafia biscuit::

I have Polish Cordial on standby Small (hic!)

Spiro I do apologise about Porter, I didn't meant to, honest, guv.
Researching that must have been a weary dreary irksome task and all.

Sorry I keep disappearing, my router is having hissy fits., a cause de chaleur.

Looking at lusciously loitering Gizzy, i know how it feels

And speaking as we were of what's hot and what's not, I bring you this.

I need an early night so will bid you all adieu.

You are determined to reduce me to a puddle of drool today Maud, I can tell.
Those sideburns... they should be illegal!

All I can say to you is TSWF nighty nighty.

Oh, and thank you of course for the pix.

I'm particularly liking the Guyliner on zoom!

Night night Maud!

Oh has everyone gone? I've only just finished work

Never mind, I'll try and catch you all tomorrow. Night night.

book me a ticket too

Perhaps we should reschedule our get together!

As for ^

Spiro!

mmmmm veggie lasagne will be yum. In fact I think I will have lasagne for my dins. Except mine will be a Tesco finest one.

Fingers duly crossed for all chez Spiro.

I loved Twiggy's Mr Men game yesterday but didn't have time to contribute. However, here's a few that I prepared later.

Mr Happy

Mr Messy

Mr Snow

Mr Grumpy

Little Miss Naughty

Mr Cool

Very fetching Mr Men there.

Mr Carnivore Spiro has just peered into the saucepan and said "Veggie lasagne?" I don't think he's terribly impressed.

Oh well...

Nice one Small
