These three will be more than happy to indulge your love of throwing glitter and paint around, Maud. It is a skill they are most accomplished in.

Because I am timid and hidebound by bourgeois convention, unlike the greatest artists.

Oh, three evacuees. How lovely. Although I thought it was more conventional to evacuate the children out of London to the sticks less densely-populated areas.

Oh, wouldn't I love to bind dear Claude's hide...

Dear Claude, I do love him so although I prefer his best mate's daubings if I were being completely honest.

@ Massive.

Hmm my post about Strictly's HJ got lost. Here it is again, but sit down while you open it, and not just because it's a DM link.

Yet again!

Wot? Is LadyD dissing the great Claude? In whose favour?

Crikey. That article in the DM is full of surprises.

Very surprising Maud - ho'f have thought he had a computer generated muscle arrangement under his clothes - that certainly isn't natural!

Did you also see in the DM that Artem has fractured his spine so Holly is currently practising with Brendan although a term hopes to dance come Saturday! How with a fractured spine can't be good for it!

Maud - Can I send you my children too for some activity clubs?!

Well I've just had 3 hours of Porter! Twas very lovely indeed! He got his top off a lot! is such a nice man the way he rescued those children!

Ooh lucky you, Vampy, three hours of Porter sounds blissful, even if he hadn't got his top off.

Evening all!
It occurred to me yesterday that our get together is scheduled for same day as Unison strike that may mean schools closed?
How is everyone fixed for childcare if there is a strike that day?

Vampy I saw the end of that on tv the other night, I love it when he's talking yo his daughter on the link up and is reaching out to stroke her face & 'shushing' her when she's crying .

Wonder if he's that sweet & sympathetic in RL unlike most blokes?

Oh, I need to have words with certain Academians.

Firstly, I had a little thud in the village shop yesterday as I was queuing behind a man wearing blue overalls and a black beany hat. Admittedly he had a very nice bottom broad pair of shoulders but he was also a good 5" too short. Didn't stop me nearly dislocating my neck trying to get a look at his face thugh .

Secondly, and far more seriously, one of my friends' DH's is growing a beard for the Movember thingummy. Now normally he does nothing for me but with a beard he bears a very slight resemblance to a certain Man and I have to confess to a bit of a thud when I clapped eyes on him in the playground this afternoon.

Now this is Not On.

I live in the middle of a farming community. The weather is cooling down, soon the village will be over run by men in blue overalls and beany hats. I can not spend the next 4 months thudding. I also can not thud at my friend's DH. It's inappropriate.

And if certain people ::hard stare:: didn't spend so much time extolling the virtues of farmhands and beards I wouldn't be having this problem.

Lucas had a set of blue overalls, too, she mentions, slyly.

Oh, does Movember also include beards?

I didn't know that.

Beards are fab

Some ladies find stubble quite appealing

but I prefer beards

Right, that's it. I will be sending you the osteopath's bill that will almost certainly result from my next trip to the shop.

I should think so, LadyD, fi your local agricultural type man is doing what Lucas did en pleine village shop

To what do you refer, Massive?

Gizzy looks so sweet in that stubbly pic, Maud. As if butter wouldn't melt in his wickle mouth.

You know very well to what I referred, Maud.
