Guest post, guess who two
I am knackered. A long and difficult night shift followed by three hours on the end of the phone talking to practical jokers, and I get home to discover that all the chicken sheds have been blown over in the wind, and the badger has eaten all the chickens which have escaped into the churchyard, with a little help from the fox.
Oh well, I think, I might as well collect the last of the eggs to deliver to the old ladies of the village, but - bugger me - one of the dogs has got to them before I did.
Just as in The Archers, all of the flowers have been flattened in the hurricane as well, so this year's show is going to be very sparse indeed.
I thought there would be just enough time to squeeze Millicent's anal glands before Chris gets back from his very important meeting at work, but what do I find when I go up to change the duvet? One of the dogs has had an extremely loose bowel-movement all over it, and the cat has settled down in the middle of the stinking mess, purring away as if nothing has happened.
Hey Ho.

Ha -ha. That's funny. Who's next I wonder!
ReplyDeleteWe just realised - we left out the speeling mistkes!
DeleteParagraphs and everything, John. A self checking I-pad, eh?
DeleteI am finding it hard to get into character at the moment, so normal service will be resumed when the Hattatts have gone back to bed.
DeleteSarcasm joanne
DeleteI would have thought better of you
Darling Tom,
DeleteLet us help you get back into character immediately without hesitation for you know how divine we find you and you never disappoint us and we cannot wait to discuss the floppy boys with you again soon. Lance and Jane xxx
We are positively dizzy with all this role-changing, but - if you insist!
DeleteI apologize to John, I should have stayed out of this.
DeleteYou have got him to a T.
ReplyDeleteWe are constantly amazed at how some people's lives are so eventful and interesting - ours seems so mundane by comparison, with a never-ending merry-go-round of exhibitions, opera and dinner-parties with semi-naked boys painted gold acting as waiters!
DeleteElaine.........you cow !
DeleteDear Jane and Lance
ReplyDeleteYou have just made me laugh so much without even mentioning shared underwear or the Walking Dead. I really must pull myself together and get off the hairdressers, but I will be chuckling all the way.
Another super and delightful post.
We completely forgot the zombies! Silly us!
DeleteThank you Jane; I've always thought what an exciting life X leads. Dog shit, chicken shit, his own shit; one never-ending cycle of faecal cleansing.
ReplyDeleteDear Cro,
DeleteNo thanks to us needed......
We are over the tiff xxxx
Et u cro face
DeleteEt tu
DeleteAnother typo
Well I wasn't going to mention it...
DeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteDarling Tom,
ReplyDeleteWe have risen momentarily from our sick beds, yes, we are even ill simultaneously, to say that charmed as we are that we may be thought capable of such characterisation ( if, indeed, that is what it is) it is not we who are the guests.
So ill are we that not a single exhibition has been visited by us, not a glass of champagne sipped, not a single dinner party with or without semi-naked gold painted writers has been hosted and not one blog post written either here or elsewhere. Indeed, not even the thought of Iford Manor can lift our spirits at present. That should surely indicate the severity of the situation!
We miss all our blogging chums and hope to be back online soon.
In the meantime......this is all huge fun!
P.S. We meant 'waiters' not writers.......now you know how ill we are!
DeleteDear Jane and Lance,
DeleteIn spite of in our last conversation here me comparing you to Barbara Cartland and a Mills & Boon novelette, I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you a speedy recovery from whatever it is you are ailing so that you can soon get back to your delightful blog posting and cultural activities and save your readers from permanent withdrawal symptoms. Rachelxx
Dear Rachel,
DeleteThat is really kind.
Thank you. xxxx
Rachel has said it all for me. I hope you recover quickly, but in the meantime - as you can see - I can do three jobs at once, so I will carry on (as unselfconsciously as I can) until you get better.

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy this morning John.

ReplyDeleteHave you been reading my diary?
DeleteI have but I couldn't stomach the swear words
DeleteOh dear. I was thinking of doing a revenge if he ever does me John. I will do it, of course.
DeleteOh dear I repeat.
Delete..what a funny 5 days it's been
DeleteReally?
DeleteYes, really. We have regained our sense of humour! (this one is a royal 'we')
DeleteThis is the greatest post EVER Tom! Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean Hattattattatta?
DeleteNice one, Cro.
DeleteThat would be John Gray of Wales. No one can describe anal glands as succinctly.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can get any more succinct than just saying the name, can you?
