[Nanker Phelge]

Dem pesky kids

 

[Mrs Magpie]

another sheep, if you please < for BB

(((sheep herding)))

SHEARING!


That happens too.

 

[Biddlybee]

Another thing I've never managed to see!

Just been for a quick cycle round the park... and getting quite excited now

 

[RubyToogood]

I put the last stitch in my entry for the knitting competition at about 2.30 am last night and am off to enter it now!

 

[Biddlybee]

ooh, good luck rubes

Do they judge today or tomorrow?

 

[strung out]

what time's everyone getting there?

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm going about 12ish I think, maybe before if this boy ever wakes up!

(but I don't think I've met you before, so erm )

 

[Nanker Phelge]

We'll be over about 1ish.....maybe a bit earlier......I'm gonna browse the charity stalls before heading over to see A3.

 

[strung out]

i think we've had this conversation before. we met at an offline in early 2006! whether we can remember what each other looks like is another matter

i'm meeting up with tanky, onket, wiskey, stella and others though so i'm sure we shall bump into each other at some point!

HURRAH! Knew you'd do it!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

My son has lost his keys (AGAIN!) and is in Norf London and won't be back until sometime after lunch and we can't leave until he gets back because his work clothes are here. AAAARRRRGH!

We can't go tomorrow because a friend is doing Race For Life and we promised we see her get over the finishing line. Big thing for her. She's knocking on a bit and has just got the final all-clear after cancer (lost most of her bowel).

 

[strung out]

leave his work clothes in a plastic bag outside the front door

 

[Mrs Magpie]

leave his work clothes in a plastic bag outside the front door

Nah, they'd be nicked. Middle of a housing estate.

 

[Biddlybee]

Get him to come to the country show, phone you and then give him the keys.

 

[Cloo]

Oh, grrrr, Mrs M.

We'll be there about midday.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

A solution has been reached! I've rung my mate with a 'good news, bad news'. We're doubling the sponsorship money and going to the Country Show on Sunday rather than race for life. Everyone's happy

 

[Biddlybee]

Hurrah hopefully bump into you tomorrow.

 

[gaijingirl]

Nah, they'd be nicked. Middle of a housing estate.

We've been having stuff left outside our front door for years now - never once had anything nicked apart from our bicycle trailer - which the council took!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Normally it's fine, but there's been a recent spate of things disappearing off doorsteps.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

OOOH! The prodigal son has just returned.....this may mean two trips to Country Show now

 

[gaijingirl]

Normally it's fine, but there's been a recent spate of things disappearing off doorsteps.

Bloody Lambeth council!! (ooh where's the smilies?)

 

[colacubes]

Overslept but managed to get the jam and marmalade in with moments to spare!

 

[spanglechick]

is there a meeting point?

 

[editor]

I'm thinking of by the Chucklehead tent at 4?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Took BL for a wander about and he fell over so I had to take him home. Boo

 

[editor]

There was a colossal urban turnout by the cider tent. I'll be back tomorrow!

 

[gaijingirl]

Back tomorrow too and hope to actually see some of the stuff that's there... just made our way through the enormous numbers of old bill by the Tulse Hill gate.... all peaceful happily!

 

[Biddlybee]

I'll be back tomorrow for the dogs, owls, no frills and farm animals (and maybe more honey ).

Did anyone have some decent jerk chicken and rice and peas? What I got on the way home wasn't all that
