Quiet room...

[grons]

*thinks, perfect - my idea of an afternoon well spent!*

*says i'll have a pint of whatever you're having mr mockney piers*

[citizenED]

*sitting on hands - looks up v. sheepishly*

[mockney piers]

* looks out of window at misery over lords, and goes for nice malty pint of winter warmer ... mmmm *

* nudges trolley imperceptibly in direction of citizenED - it's better than beer in Edward the Confessor*

[Asset]

Thinks - funny MP can see Lord's. I can see the sea

[dulwichmum]

and I can see a bottle of wine with my name on it - it is almost 7pm ... counting down the minutes after a hard day at work.

[mockney piers]

* begins to panic, where can i hide it, ooh, under the lazyboy ... phew *

;-)

[Nero]

*Screws eyes quizzically, thinking "always thought it was 6pm"*

Nero

[citizenED]

*scratches head: 6pm, 7pm; DM not only one conveniently confused by BST/GMT thing. muses over trolley. opts for an Old Speckled Hen. Does a double take. Is that Charles Bukowski entering stage left?*

[dulwichmum]

Probably for the rest of the world - 6pm is ok, but I must wait until the kids go to bed. Hurrah, it is 9.30 and I am appropriately anaesthetised!

DM

[mockney piers]

offers up a very special cocktail on the beer tray

 

[dulwichmum]

Gosh Mockney - thats pure class!

[SeanMacGabhann]

** darn it, work firewall has stopped MP's sketches displaying **

** wonders how DM's head is this morning **

[citizenED]

*saunters in, sits on largest bean bag in the corner - pulls out pad and pencil. Starts sketching. Map out room first, dodgy perspective! See who beaches up.*

[Asset]

*comes in needing a bit of quiet time and a stiff drink*

*all getting a bit frantic out there*

*pops open bolly*

*wonders what Citizen is scribbling in pad*

[citizenED]

*finished the layout of the lounge - perspective all awry, but what the heck*

*at last, a punter - i'll enjoy drawing that hat, Asset - I wish she'd stop swigging straight from that bottle*

*methinks, better leave it 'til she's "asleep". in meantime, I'll draw the fish tank.*

[TillieTrotter]

*Its soooooo quiet in here today*

*Think I'll catch forty winks before starting supper* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[dulwichmum]

Trots into lounge and walks to bar to open a nice cold bottle of Chablis from the fridge.

Glances around empty room and feels sad that chums are usually gone home by the time I arrive.

Thinks "Nevermind", pops straw in bottle and sits down to enjoy long cold drink. Thinks to self - "Small children and working - I am just so bloomin busy right now"...

[mockney piers]

* blows tomato off top of beer and gestures a cheers DM's way *

* cheers *

[citizenED]

*wakes up with a eloquent yawn - why are fish so difficult to draw?*

*note to self - aim lower*

[Bellenden Belle]

*skips into the room, wearing a flowing summery frock*

*hums Zip-pe-de-doo-dah... quietly*

*thinks to meself, it's definitely a Pimms day*

*Searches frantically for a cucumber*

[SeanMacGabhann]

* likes the cut of evryones jib today *

* decides today, like every other, would be a perfect day to hear Witchita Lineman come on the radio *

[citizenED]

*humming Witchita Lineman - senses spooky synchronicity in here today*

[Bellenden Belle]

*pimms now in hand*

*are citiened and SeanMC wearing tuxes?*

*sways gently to Witchita Lineman*

*imagines onself sophisticated lady of leisure in exclusive lounge bar*

*Did James Bond just walk in?*

[Ant]

*emerges into being from a single point in space-time. You know: fwiipp! noise and all that malarky*

*thinks today is a perfect day for a spot of bobbing along in a boat on the river*

*adds pimms and/or champagne, plus a well-stocked picnic hamper to that mental picture*

ahhhhh! :)

[SeanMacGabhann]

* can't vouch for CitizenEd but it would take more than a tux to fool anyone I am JB *

* rings Dulwich Park to obtain boat hire rates *
