Thank you from the Duke and Duchess!

Unfortunately I now think any scenes tomorrow are unlikely, as I am expecting a visit from the electrician. Ds went to change a light bulb in one of our kitchen light fittings this afternoon, discovered a bit of insulation that was flaking, prodded it and received an electric shock! He is fine, but the fitting isn't safe, so we are getting it looked at tomorrow. I'm so fed up with things going wrong in this house.

It wouldn't happen in Playmoland I'm sure!

Lovely photos. Yesterday was the anniversary of the second most important event of 2011, though I cannot imagine Norman the Foreman or anyone else in Playmoland celebrating Ed Balls Day.

SoMuchToBits · 29/04/2021 21:37

Grin at Ed Balls day.

Ah well, I think that Jared and Annabel enjoyed their day with Cornelius, Madeline and Flavian. They didn't make a video though.

I have never heard of Ed Balls Day! Just looked it up. I vaguely remember the story about the original tweet but didn’t realise it had become a Thing!

SoMuchToBits · 30/04/2021 20:27

I have now finally finished the spring cleaning, although not without a part on the vacuum cleaner breaking... Have ordered spare part.

Also, electrician came and fixed the kitchen lights this morning. Cost ££ but at least we have decent safe lights now!

Am working tomorrow, need to take some old cricket gear to ds's old cricket club on Sunday, working Monday, seeing a friend for a walk and pub lunch Tuesday. May eventually get a scene done on Wednesday! In the meantime best wishes from all the Playmolanders. The Duke and Duchess of Ruggington thank anyone who sent them anniversary congrats yesterday. They spent a quiet day with their family.

Surely not more things going wrong in your house SoMuch? What an expensive nightmare. Belated anniversary congratulations to the Duke and Duchess.

SoMuchToBits · 30/04/2021 22:16

Sadly yes, petal! But we do now have fab kitchen lights! And ds survived the electric shock and is fine.

Thanks for the belated wishes to the Duke and Duchess. They and their children had a lovely day, thank you.

Can hardly believe it's May tomorrow! Ds and I had a short trip to the pub this afternoon. Enjoyed a beverage under a covered area (just as well as it rained!) well wrapped up...

Did the Duke and Duchess make a lovely soft focus video of them larking about with their children to celebrate their anniversary?!

SoMuchToBits · 01/05/2021 06:07

Haha, no video Chessie. They spent a quiet day at home...

I'd lost this thread somehow.

😲 at DS receiving an electric shock! Glad your electrician has sorted it now.

SoMuchToBits · 03/05/2021 20:05

Thanks, *Horsemad! I've been at work today and going for a walk with a friend tomorrow. Might get a scene done on Wednesday... Smile

I keep losing the thread too. Have NCd a couple of times since I last posted...

SoMuch I'm glad your DS is ok, and am guessing he has decided against becoming an electrician?

I was hoping there might have been a LoD tribute scene, possibly including the Nativity (and definately Wink the wee donkey) Grin

SoMuchToBits · 03/05/2021 22:14

Ds is set on becoming an engineer (studying aeronautical engineering at uni).

No LoD tribute, as I've never watched it (and had to spend a few minutes actually trying to work out what LoD was short for! ) Grin

I'm now wondering who you were before donkey! I can't keep up with name changes. Sometimes I miss posters who used to comment regularly on my Playmo threads, but then think they might still be posting but have changed their names!

Now people can meet in groups of up to six, or in two households. It's a nice day today so Arkley and Angela have invited another family over for a barbecue. Arkley sorts out the barbecue while Angela puts out some extra garden furniture.

Angela and Angharad enjoy a beer while the men keep an eye on the barbecue. Alice is playing with Anwen while the boys play with Apollo the dog.

Ashley and Aled are play fighting with the barbecue tools. "Stop that!" shout the mums. "You'll have each other's eyes out!"

"I think the barbecue's just about ready to put the meat on." says Arkley.

But oh no! Apollo has knocked all the meat off the table and is snaffling the sausages. The barbecue is ruined!

"I'm so sorry!" says Alwyn. "Shall I phone for some pizza instead? We'll pay as it's our dog's fault the meat is ruined."

The pizza arrives. They are all quite hungry by now!

Lol @ apollo!

SoMuchToBits · 05/05/2021 14:34

They all enjoy the pizza. Except for Apollo, who is not allowed any.

You’d think they would be more careful with the meat given that Apollo has form for not being well behaved around sausages.
