Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

MORNING ALL!!! WAKEY WAYYYYY KEEEEYYYY !

(sort of on the basis that my alarm’s gone off, so…)

GREEEAATTTT party last night? What do you mean, What Party??? The Glitterbury Juice was delish… and as for that Pimms… yes please! FOrtunately Soddit doesn’t mind fireworks a bit, but poor Buggerit… and I haven’t seen FECKIT for hours…

OK, coffee, strong coffee available in the JM… stagger over when you are able…

was singing in my dreams!!!

hope the yew tree nests were comfy… it’s pouring here, so I hope you’re not getting too wet…

love you ALL dahlings

Jane

Morning xxx
Just woke up under the table in a nest of toblerone wrappers, Kate won’t be happy when she gets back… will join you for a coffee Jane and will get the bacon butties going…so nice that the tidying fairies came and cleared up for us…
Great party girls xxxxxx

Jane keep your voice down and go back to sleep. Some of us have only just gone back to our nests after clearing up. Ohh my head…where is the water…where is the Enos. I will never drink again.

It’s ten thirty and I’ve only just finished one of those lovely butties and a small bucket of coffee. The face paint is a bit smeary and what is that on my pjs???—I think it’s time for a quick dip in the lagoon, but I AM moving slow.
Those benchlanders really know how to party–I think they were still singing in the JM long after I’d crawled off to bed.

What a fabulous party! Can we do it again??? :slight_smile:

Oh, Ali, you are indefatigueable! (had to look up how to spell that lol)
Maybe we’ll have recovered by next weekend. Is is Supertrouper who’s having a birthday soon? Cackles?–what it is to have lost my memory…I know it’s one of you lot (or a benchlander?). It may be time to prepare a birthday party? Lashings of cake and ginger beer sounds nice after last night’s excesses. PB WAS singing, egged on by some worse-for-the-wear benchlanders, and I distinctly saw DT leaving, shaking his head. Not to mention the dogs–although weren’t the cats cute the way they accepted Pukey without any hissing or growling?

Oh dear! I seem to have missed the boat and the party! It sounds like you all had a fab time, thanks, for some, to my single malt?!

I was so tired, I went to bed at 10.30 last night and didn’t wake up until 11.30 this morning - (apart from the usual hotspots and loo visits!) Haven’t done that for YEARS!!

I think the sleep fairies must all have been frightened away by your revelry, rock cake hurling and fireworks, and all come to shelter with me. Sorry if the rest of you were deprived of sleep - but it sounds like the amount of alcohol imbibed may have done the trick??! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, I now have a hangover-like headache due to oversleeping (always happens) without having had the fun of the drinking! And all those boring Sunday jobs to get done before work tomorrow - may just have a sip of this Winter Pimms that I found hidden under the table - that may help me finish the ironing??! Hic! Froof! That’s strong - no wonder you were all pi… er ‘happy’ last night!!

Thank you Wooden Benches and Bloody Wenches for making me smile. xx

PS It seems the Woodies (techies?) have forgotten to put their clock back STILL - or I slept even later than I thought - because apparently I posted that at 15.13, and I thought it was just gone 2!!

Are we going to be time travelling unitl the clocks go forward again in March?

I think it’s NannaB’s birthday on Monday - might have made that up though!x

Oh no, not the clock gremlins! They were the bane of the old forum and I thought they’d been banished from this one… I had totoally forgotten about them until now.

Hi Woodies, bit scared as tomorrow I’m meeting my surgeon to discuss my next steps. Had chemo first to shrink the b@stard & now have surgery coming up. Don’t know what to expect so need a good dose of woodland courage xx
