Stop feeling guilty, small rant (BENCHLAND) (Part 1)

What time does the party start??? Yippeee, a party :slight_smile:

Here I am - all ready for the party - I am actually going to a fancy dress party in NED tonight but will be back in time to join you all later. For one night only - my avatar is me in tonights fancy dress costume.
Larger photo posted on the DDW thread.

Now - come on Buggeritt and FECKIT - stay still whilst I paint on those spots!!

I am on the frightened bench…go to the Dark Dark Wood to see Supertrouper in all her glory******** I wonder what her singing is like!!!
The party is going to be good!!!

Ah Cackles, it isn’t fun to be ā€œgood frightenedā€ā€¦ what a fab party it’s going to be. Yippee!

crack, whoosh, sparkle, sparkle, sparkle… ooh the first fireworks are reaching the sky! And there it is… the barge all sparkly to carry as backwards and forwards between there and here, or here and there…

(not so good at drawing fireworks!)

Oh me oh my, managed to burn the bolognese sauce, I don’t know what happening to me and forgot my next door neighbours name…???
This was all before seeing ST’s simply fantastical photo!!
Just making my way to the barge now though can’t see to well cause of the hairy face, good job there’s lots and lots of sparkly lights and fireworks, should be able to find my way.
Is that singing i can hear from the woods?
See you all soon xx

Grumpy, just put a touch of JCJ’s single malt in your glitterberry juice, that should sort out the snuffles. Party’s going with a swing in the woods, just wait till you hear the entertainment!

Wow that was some night, loved the band and we managed to dance superbly well. Barge journey home was eventful, who was that leaning over the side being oh so sick???
Think some of the gremlins came back with me, no internet connection for hours today, happily all sorted now, yippeeeeeeee! xx

Sorry Katy, think that was Pukey living up to her name… she was so excited to meet all the other cats and then she overindulged on the tidbits. AH yes, what a fantabulous party, but - JCJ missed it AND all her single malt was consumed so we will have another party soon… I think Apple’s b-day is next up?

Now then, a very large all day full Scottish (like a full English but with tatty scones and lorne suasage) available for anyone wanting it over there …>
Large packs of spoons in the shed, conveniently sorted by size, and ready to go. Several thwacking ladles and the odd spurlte too.

Gone grey here in Glasgow and I have to prepare my mind for this evening’s annual ā€˜Grief & Gratitude’ service offered to anyone who wishes to remember a loved one. This year I will be remembering a few bc buddies from here, and here abouts including SCACO, Potmaid, Elttiks, Gingerbud and Wacky’s Mum.
Gentle hugs for those who need them.

I spent the night in a Yew tree, so it wasn’t me Katy. Woke this morning with pounding head though. Bacon rolls and coffee at the JM proved restorative however and I’ve just walked back over here.
Couldn’t have faced your full Scottish Revcat.

Headache Who me? …What a Party …well done all the cooks…as for Supertrouer!!! You were an absolute STAR. What did I drink? What a tremendous group you all are. Where is the satisfied bench?

…

ooooh! Drinks?? Happy Birthday nanna

That has def been some weekend, huge Sat party then nanna’s birthday drinks, popping over to the ā€œtiredā€ bench with a big supply of spoons for all.
Some birthday cake leftover so now serving cups of tea, coffee etc.
Dreary day here though rain is now off, yippeeeeeeeee! xx

A cup of tea and a piece of cake would be lovely please! Today is rad number 13, this means that when the machine is clunking, buzzing and whirring in its overhead position I will be half way through!! :slight_smile:

Ali H I remember those noises so well. I used to count them all out and count them all in RAF style but they were never tne same. Halfway is superb. I found for some silly reason I really got cold feet by the last two…I had had enough. Today we have re visited our Starting Chemo in August 2011 thread. We are in contact on Facebook because of the revamp mess. It was mindblowing to see how supportive we were of each other…FANTASTIC. Just like Benchlands and the Wild Wood.
So a Woodies flag to you all and my thanks.
Contented bench with a new handkie for my emotional tears now needed pease girls.
