Our patroness is considered rather taking when she is animated

and the Vice Chancellor would like to remind you all of the importance of the wearing of a correctly tied cravat.

Morning all!

To my shame, I realise that we didn't reciprocate with a gift for LadyDamerel last night. --Might have been something to do with her abortive attempt to steal my fiance when she already has a husband of her own]]. Anyway, here you are, you minx.

And a gratuitous gift for Twiggy.

And so to business.

::melts::

::forgets entirely what she was going to say::

::takes strong whiff of vinaigrette::

@ dropping Massive in it. You might want to take care opening the PM I've just sent you then.......

Maud, I was just kidding about the lights, it was just like being at the Priory when LordD decides he's off to bed .

Spiro, that second cottage looks lovely. Have you checked here for possibilities?

Small - the cleaning and actually having to tackle the 9 foot long list of outstanding DIY jobs puts me off proper house swapping.

I think I should always have gratuitous gifts, I thoroughly approve. I was looking at that pic just this mroning - the one after that is the lovely hand one that we adore.

Oh blimey Twigster, let's not get started on the hands, that way madness lies

I'm decamping if we're talking about hands. I can't handle the merest thoughtlet of having them cradle my face.

::goes for a lie down::

Ewwwwww. I don't think he likes that Twigs.

Where is my masterfull hand down from horse photo? I can't find it anywhere and I know one of you has it on speed dial.

For centuries, philosophers have puzzled over this eternal question

can we not eat one off the other? I don't mind which way round [wink}

oops my went wonky. It was the thought of... oh never mind.

A handy little gift for Small.

I seem to remember the last discussion re. cake and ceRtAin people getting a little out of hand. I suspect Maud had to resort to the facepalm AND the bromide.

ahhhhhh thank you Lady D that's the fella. I love that pic, so masterful.

There's a useful unpicker right next to them, Small. It's almost begging to be used.

maybe a little bit unwieldy Lady D? Although I suspect Massive would have it out in a trice and those laces undone before he could say 'Nottinum'

I reckon it's all in the wrist action, Small .

just because

I have well & truly lost my perve crown ...

Clearly I need to get some practice in before Thursday!

I think she means you Lady D

Me?

No she doesn't.

Surely.

Purer than the driven snow, me.

ROFl @ I don't mind which way round :o

Oh good grief!

Your timing is impeccable, Maud. Do you have a naughtiness RAdar?
