Oh lordy lordy lordy! All those names again. Already confusethed! If we’re doing this play for Sooty, can I be sweep?
I assume the ‘magical’ horses are actually camels? :-)
Cold selling crisis averted. Contract cancelled. OH realised the error of his ways - thanks to Google! I found reviews of the company… Not good! One of my favourites was “wouldn’t touch these people with somebody else’s 10-foot barge pole”. Now got to spend time doing some research to find a reputable company to do the job! ( I’ve been nagging for aaages that we needed to insulate the house. The living room has 3 1/2 outside walls and an open chimney. The radiators have furniture in front of them and it’s so always cold in there, unless we light the fire, when it becomes half boiling and half freezing - marvellous for ye old flushing!)
Can I be the moody (type casting??!) secretive monk as I’m guessing he doesn’t say much… (Just keeps to his own bad habits? boo boom cha! _ ye olde jokes are the besteth?) :-)
Whew JCJ, thank goodness all stopped!!! People I think are generally trusting which unfortunately leads to disasters! These salespeople are extremely good at twisting things sadly…
Can I please be Arabella??? Really fancy being a sturdy wench hee hee! And a ghostly apparition???
FF, just add “th” on the end of words:smileyvery-happy:! You will be great for the New Year Extravaganza musically entertaining us.
Off to find a “wenchy type costume” and figure out the meaning of the curse xx
Millie the Snot is practicing curtseys and wiping her nose on her wimple. What do you mean, she doesn’t wear a wimple? She’ll have a right drama queen strop if she can’t have a costume!
Stopped myself chucking old rags, sorry clothes, in the bin, as they may come in handy for the Hag outfit.
Oh how mine cup floweth over! What sad circumstances doth my life behold, that the delivery of a new kettle - of the new-fangled electric variety - (old one was leaking through the see-through bit!) AND the new recycling bin, on the same day of the calendar should bring such joyous glee! Such excitement! Now I can get rid of the 2 boxes and 3 bags in the porch.
Lordy, Lordy… I know not whether I am agatha or Isabella… Dithery or feisty? Methinks It dependeth upon the level of the hormone.
Much curried apple and walnut chutney hath been prepared for the feast, to accompany the hog roast. The harvest hath been bountiful this year, which will help us through those long winter months.
The injured shoulder hath been seen by special lady who hath given plenteous exercises to assist mobility (and cause pain). Great is the rejoicing over revcats news…
Methinks the time has come to put aside thin clothes in favour of warmth, and to shake out the moths from the wode…
Prithee , could I be Agatha de Wynter? Methinks it seems to be a part made for me as I can dither for England and I have always had aspirations to become a Lady:smileyhappy: and to wear a wimple!
Ieth shalleth starteth toeth maketh myeth costumeth forthwitheth. No, Katy, I don’t think that quite works!
Do ch280’s chickens get parts or are they on the menu?
I’ m away to dither over what to serve for the banquet. Where’s the cook? Not that she CAN cook…if she spent more time in the kitchen and less poking her nose into other people’s business, maybe the food wouldn’t be either half raw or burnt to a cinder. Maybe I ought to fire her and get another cook …or maybe not…I don’t know. Yea verrily t’is a dilemma.
Worryeth thou not, Grumpy - Morwenna doth not have to write the curse!
Every humble serf hath knowledge of Ye Olde Prophesy which sayeth “That the Castle and Lordship of Bench shouldst pass from the present family, whenever the REAL owner shouldst return to inhabit it!”.
Morwenna hath handy magic powers (casting spells & such) which she useth to helpeth or hindereth!
Verily, there hath been STRANGE goings-on at the castle of late, noticedeth mostly by the servants: unearthly manifestations, lurking figures, weird noises!
There hath been gossip heretofore about some legendary long-lost treasure (which really belongeth to the ‘rightful owner’). T’is said t’was buried somewhere in the Castle before the de Wynters ruled. There hath been much speculation of late!
Allocated roles so far:-
Grumpy - Morwenna, venerable wise woman.
Ali - Ghostly damsel, resplendent in metallic gold ear muffs. Will maketh spectacular appearances anon!
Millie - Seraphina, Matilda’s little dog. Well done for attention to costume!
JCJ - Friar Jerome, the secretive wandering monk.
Katytc - Arabella, sturdy serving wench, Jack’s wife AND a ghostly apparition!
ch280 - Audrey, simple scatty country wench, Matilda’s maid.
FF - Lady Agatha de Wynter, Herman’s dithery wife.
GIJane - the feisty, beautiful Lady Isabella, Conrad’s betrothed.
Jenanne - Justin, Squire & Confidant of Tristan. Also a ghostly apparition.
Well trip to dentist and had many a tooth removed so I just have one in the front now, letting chin hair grow wild and won’t wash for the next while…hair standeth on end, am completely throwing myself into the part:smileyhappy:!
TREASURE!!! This wench is on the hunteth…
Forsooth, my olde husband is driving me crazyth, I do not findeth him the least amusing, jester??? the man is a clown:smileymad: xx
Well doneth Katy for such stunning immersion in the part! Fair Revcat, ye remaining parts are:-
Frederic - Isabella’s greedy father & Lord Herman de Wynter’s cousin
Tristan Woodruff - nice young peasant(rumoured of noble birth)
Matilda - Herman’s daughter, kind & lovely, oppressed by her father
Jack the court jester - cheerful wit, married to Arabella the serving wench.
William - old retainer/butler, in charge of castle household.
Beatrix the cook: loud, nosey-parker.
Conrad is not around for longeth so someone could take the role as extra.
I have partaken of the magic herceptin brew this day - t’is said that the number 13 is unlucky for some, but not for me I hopeth! Only 5 more brews to go.
I did also visiteth the marketplace of Asda to buyeth a new computer mouse, which I have sorely missedeth this past week or so!
P.S. Gazing at the heavens last night with new telescope - saw craters on the moon!!!
I know 3 triplets that would be PERFECT for cleaning out the middens! (tip them upside down and use them as mops??)
We seem to have lost the pink ribbon and gained a red and orange b for a logo. That’ll confuse some people, but make this site distinct from other breast cancer sites? ETH (just added a massive ETH at the end because I forgot to use it throughout. I thinketh that works? :p)
What ho! I returneth from pilgrimage. What news? The Lady Isabella hast consenteth to join with my Lord Conrad? Alas and alack, I am of humbler birth, Tristan humbler still. Thus fair ladyes we can’st never win!
Arabella, be a good wench and fetcheth Justin meat and mead - and pleaseth to stop wailing on about ‘the black arts’. Thou listeneth overmuch to that old hag Morwenna!
Ate’th my supper, pig’s snout and trotters on black rye bread’eth stuff delicious!
Just’eth realised am not going to be able to decipher curse or find treasure cause’eth am illiterate’eth, so may have to try the black art meself, methinks!
Has’eth any other noticed the alligators are extremely’eth quiet just now??? may have something to do with the sewage being cast into the moat??? Perchance??? xx
