AIBU in thinking that the IPOAT hall has transported to another dimension

[Minimammoth]

Where has it gone? Just as I was about to start sprucing it up for the jubilee and start tatting the bunting?

Spanish fucking food? Oyster paella?

I now have a vision of mr hully in a car ith a sheep and a couple of goats arguing at passport control like an extra from the Great Escape

Mr Hully tries to make it through Checkpoint Charlie

• doors swing open, a lithe, muslin swathed figure stands backlit by the shimmering summer sun ha! mes cheres! you 'ave been neglecting the application of pineapple water....your dusky complexions will make finding you 'usbands. tiens!

....vair difficile.

Bonsoir, Madame. Your muslin is clinging to your curves most fetchingly as you, um, glow...

(my phone is crap. just so you know)

Imagine phoning a French vet in one's best French and explaining that one's dh + beast is en route sans passport but that one is fed-exing passport to vet and hoping they coincide.

Vet says: Of course, we close for lunch for two hours then.

OF FUCKING COURSE YOU FUCKING DO

Ok.

Mimi darling, we really are going to need a wee catch-up...

I shouldn't be laughing but images of your DH wandering around France with a goat and a donkey on a bit of string, like an exile from a petting zoo.

pore him, he is really having a grim time. he is also going to spend the night on the ferry on the deck with the beast to save money i told him it was a stupid idea many many times

Oh poor him.

Will they let him sleep on deck? When my parents took us to Ireland on the ferry we stayed on the deck overnight. It was scary but then I was only about 6.

yy, ferry from Greece to Italy, everyone sleeps on deck except me who insists on a pet cabin

what do you think to the meet-up?

Ah, Greece to Italy. He and the goat can stand on the prow and do 'my heart will go on'. It will be quite a sight.

I have to get my dates sorted. Dh is away a couple of times in sept so I'll check. But I would need to be drunk quite early in the day so I would have to do what my ds charmingly calls 'pre-lash'. If I am not in on early drinks I will give up. I was like a maiden aunt at a strip club last time

meet up? what is this meet up you speak of?

here, Mimi

What think you, too?

went to fb page. rquested to join now i am kicking myself as really dont want lots folk access...

Did u do it under your own name or MN name?

I have sent you a friend request

set up another fb a/c under your MN name and join ith that then get rid of the rl one.

Been in there days I have, with no rescue, none. after I have kept the Hall ticking over all summer and is there any word of thanks. No. Here you are making your party plans, with nerry a thought for others. Pfhf I say< stomps of to the herb drying shed to sulk> it's more than one can bear, at my age as well, ingrates.

Ahem.... Tea anyone?

good idea....whispers how did you know it was me?

apologies mini....a nice cuppa lady gray for me...

Yes it was unforgiveable Mini, I rend my garment quite tattered in shame and regret and would very much like a refreshing juniper tisane if I may. How did your summer pass?

Mimi - you have the same pic on your profile..
