to think IPOAT gels will never marry well if they continue to be so fast?

[CaptainHornblower]

There are far too many 'perhaps' in that second sentence. I blame the 'sleep-aiding' tinsane Fids made for me earlier.

On the plus side, whilst I may not be asleep yet and my language skills seem to have failed, my hair has curled by itself and I no longer need my glasses.

Miss Sybil - I am heartened by your report of my new tisane. Curly hair and improved eyesight are both important for any of one's night-time activities.

The language skills aspect I shall tweak slightly, we cannot have your eloquence diminished. I shall hasten to the distillery herb-drying shed. Miss Mini and I have compiled several tomes which will aid me.

Entropy - "As long as it's ten in the morning"?

So, a slightly gangrenous Leg Rampant

Three Erb Bottles a la Chevrons

A Tatting Hook

And the motto: Infused Possets Only After Ten (am).

How splendid! Let us have two run up: one for the Hall next the Wolf Head and one to fly proud and free on the ramparts.

That sounds most suitable. The maids can run them up. It will divert their wanton looks away from the Under-Gardener.

I should like to fly proud and free on the ramparts.

I saw a cinematograph las tnight that featured the most divine young creature. Sadly his name escapes me or we could invite him for tea.

Was he handsome Hully? Will I need to dig out my slacks with the double stiched gusset?

Triple I'd say.

Okay I have been cracking the whip over the gels all day and this is what we have. I need someone to produce a latin translation of the inscription obviously before it go on....

Oh Entropy

You are such a darling gel.

Sed post decem influxae Possets

I believe

I hope I did Mr Rochester's leg justice....I have heard so much and seen so little .

Applauds Entropygirl!

As my Latin teacher here ran off with one of the maids whilst I was mid-declination, my Latin is a little rusty but a quick search on google in my Latin Primer offers:

"Herbal Imbibo Tantum Secundum decimus hora"

If at all possible, and one doesn't wish to cavil, it coul do with looking a little more rotten.

'hora' seems particularly apt. I like it....

Of course dear Hully, it little more blue maybe? or a little more off the top?

More sort of chewed looking I think

How splendid. We must be the only thread with our own coat of arms. Someone tell Justine.

BTW. I read on todays news sheet that Johnny is unhappy. perhaps we could invite him to the hall and cheer him up a little.

Isn't it splendid? Miss Entropy is a dab hand at the heraldry. I wonder if she can somehow have our thread titles adorned?

Oh poor Johnny, I'm sure a restorative tisane would help him. And a lovely private intimate chat with myself, of course.

mini Oh dont tell anyone yet! It isn't finished! (I have had to borrow the girls to build me a chaise-longue, and they will not be resuming coat of arms work until tomorrow).

Not to panic entropy. We have our standards to keep, it must of course be polished and twiddled before formal unveiling.

In other news the chaise longue is a fecking disaster. 185 doubloons for a total pile of turd fire wood.

Obviously the answer to the chaise longue problem is to get Johnny to lie on it. Nothing would look like a piece of crap with Mr Depp adorning it surely?

Oh yes Miss Sybil, what a tremendous idea.

I have always been partial to les chaises longues, but they are demn awkward peices of furniture, suitable mainly for the vapours, I feel.
