Perhaps the hand of Utter Gorgeousness (and it's owner) would like to come round and help me with my ice cream Hmm Wink!

TheSmallPrint · 27/08/2011 15:29

My favourite hand? The 'atop a horse reaching down' hand of gorgeousness? Oh my!

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 15:38

That's the one, Smallio!

Isn't it strange, how if affects us so. Confused

Well done, Spiro, with the icecReAm. I sure Gizzy would love to lick out the bowl.

He's pretty good at stirring, too Wink

ROFL at good at stirring Grin!

Your turn methinks!

TheSmallPrint · 27/08/2011 17:35

Hooray! We are here and the sun is out - for now at least...

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 18:58

Good-oh, Small, hope it didn't take one peek at you all and go in, like it does to me - in the UK that is. Here, it's shameless.

Go Spiro! I hope everything goes down a treat, and you didn't burn the cous cous after all Wink

Lovely menu, your guests are in for a great evening.

Oops what happened there? Confused

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/08/2011 19:07

Did you want a hand with your ice cream, Spiro?

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 19:21

Golly, Maud, with that look he would melt every last scrap of icecream on the whole planet.

Is it your brthday Small? You seem to be having many happy returns Smile

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/08/2011 20:03

Yup. Reminds me of that old ad for Cointreau where the French smoothie used to say " and zen ::smouldering look:: ze ice melts".

PassTheTwiglets · 27/08/2011 20:20

Oh Maudie, Maudie, Maudie, that is one of my fave EVER pics. We bought Trouble At The Dinosaur Cafe for DS's birthday (have to say I don't think much of the book) and am hoping that he will love it so that I can justifiably show him the Bedtime Stories version. LOL, how much will DrTwigs rib me for that one if he finds out? :o

Massive, ROFL at Gizzy being good at stirring as well as licking the bowl out :o At the time I wondered whether it was just me inventing a double entendre where there wasn't meant to be one but then I decided against that :o

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 20:26

The Man's version is much more aesthetically pleasing than this

Girl was very fond of Flat Stanley when she was about the age that (I think) MasterTwigs is now. Just saying, like.

PassTheTwiglets · 27/08/2011 21:30

A propos of nothing...

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 21:32

Oh, yum, he's got a 99

How spookily synchronicitous. when Girl was getting excited about the return of The Doctor.

PassTheTwiglets · 27/08/2011 21:40

Maud, I was just about to post that!!!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/08/2011 21:42

::snatches the hat::

But I was reminded of it this morning, which must mean that you are reading my mind.

::trembles::

SupermassiveLBD · 27/08/2011 21:48

How was Dr Who tonight? Was it tonight? A different doctor I know, I am several Doctors behind, methinks.

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/08/2011 21:50

It was good I think (I wasn't really attending as I was buying tulip bulbs online). Girl and Bloke enjoyed it, although she got a bit anxious about it (she sat on Bloke's knee for the more tense bits, which is always a giveaway).

PassTheTwiglets · 27/08/2011 21:50

Hmm, that's true... Mr Thornton... floppy white shirts... ukuleles... Its true, it's true, I AM reading your mind!!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 27/08/2011 21:53

Floppy white shirts or the absence thereof

Oh what a giveaway.
