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?

I'll have one of those refreshing tisanes but no ice as it makes my teeth twinge right now. I really need to spend more money on toothpaste

Hugh could be part of our jubilee fete. Providing 'equipment' for the hoopla.
Ouch for the twingy teeth Jins. Have this oil of clove rub, hardly any alcohol at all, very numbing. Careful with it though its for your teeth only.

Lovely. Oil of cloves always adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a tisane I find.

Sun's well over the yard arm. It will be time for a pre-dinner soiree soon no doubt

Yakbutter I am afraid I still have to guess your identity, you are much changed with the mustachios 'n all. < plus am a bit slow>

Oh dear have had wine and am building anxiety of guessing wrong. < pours more wine> is it B G. Or U.? Fuddled head emoticon.

What a lovely day.

I've put on my new bathing costume ready for some gentle paddling

Those laces are a bit tight though

Jins darling how sweetly pretty you look. Who is the rather dashing chap in the stripes?

Oh he's my paddling instructor. When I get a bit better at it he's going to teach me to wade

Wading!

That is so advanced. Take care, though, dear Jins. A lady should never let cold water near her frontal nethers.

I did wonder about that. I intend to allow the water to mid calf, maybe knee height and no further. My lacings are there as a guide

Very wise dear. Perhaps fashion some sort of rubber wear to be safe?

I'll get tatting. It's going to take me a while to master paddling if I'm honest. I'm clinging to him for dear life.

Ladies! Don't you find all this swimwear rather racy...

I am tatting an enormous cover for the sea. It just seems somehow so wet and shiny and immodest in its vasty expanses.

The tatted 'cosi can be a bit chilly for northern waters I have found. I have heard it is very good for the circulation.....when it eventually returns.
Hully don't forget to tatt covers for the ice burgs you may well be tatting an antidote to global warming

I should tatt faster Hully. All sorts of forrin dangers lurk around the bathing machine.

True, Yak. Our beloved tisanes and possets contain all that is necessary for a healthy and wholesome life. I hear the forrin tequila fluid is so deficient in vitamins and minerals that one must imbibe a lime slice and a handful of salt at the same time just to remain upright. Or did I hear that wrong?
