It's a beautiful day here today. Betty, her children and I are enjoying the sun in the garden...gone are all thoughts of cardi snatching and the like...well, for the moment :sneaky:

It sounds idyllic. I bet the cardi-truce doesn't last though.

You could be right there! I personally think Theia is just attempting to lull me into a false sense of security :-3

The wind has picked up out there and we're in the dining room, the heating is on full blast for some reason...

Ye, Betty, of such little faith...my intent is good

Enjoy your lovely spring day together.

Are you completely and utterly sure about the status of that intent?

ish...Betty...ish

It was really good to see you all. Your children are lovely and, as always, behaved so beautifully :-4

The cardi is an illusion, a human construct in response to fear of a possible chill in the weather. Wearing it is a sign of ignorant sheepishness, of the kind that might include evil rituals like tea drinking.

:sneaky:

Oh pookles...

Take me away from all that. I'm going to gather lots of spring weeds and make garlands, and roll in the spring grass, and dance naked.........

Well, at least Weeder had a reason for a large suitcase as she was in England for a week...BB and I had no such excuse :wah:

*sigh*..... There was a time when I tried to infiltrate the Cornish Cardi Company. Yes for selfish reasons. My own pleasures. I came up short with my knit one pearl one and my needles lay idle in a drawer, testament to broken promises and dropped stitches. Efforts proved fruitless and resembled a scarf with arms. Still, a little stuffing later and it makes a suitable draft excluder.

Not a cardigan but a valiant effort

Betty and I were ready to welcome you into the fold. We had already agreed that you would hold the honorary title of Sir Arnold of the Cable. We didn't want perfection, we would have worn a scarf with arms (very briefly) as a tribute to your sterling efforts.

But what happened? Incredibly, we heard no more from you or the other upstart who shall be nameless (Uncle Kram). Our backs are broad, Snowfire, our hearts are ever open...but this rejection was too hard for us to bear. We remain deeply saddened and hurt.

The Cornish Cardi Company - CoCaCo - has just acquired the rights to the cream tea mines around the scenic fishing village of Polperro. The recently appointed CEO, an Australian who is rumoured to dance with weeds in her hair, hopes to personally inspect the local industry soon to check that no unwarranted infiltration has taken place. Dropped stitches will not be tolerated, she is reported to have stated. Nor will pink cowboy hats.

Probably why it resembled a scarf with arms *snigger*

Unkle Kram didnt get to knit but is apparently super efficient at eating Chinese noodles with a pair of size 24s

Thats a shame. I've acquired the skill of raffia work and am in the process of making a range of jaunty cowboys hats in various appropriate bright pastel colours in readiness for the next FG meet. I have refrained from making a pink one out of respect for one of our founder FG meeters. Besides pink clashes with my vast collection of designer shirtery

Good to have you on board, Pammie. Betty and I need a strong voice at the helm, particularly at this time of expansion. Potential infiltration and "sniggers" are rife at present. We have our reputation to uphold, and second rate garments and unwarranted scoffs cannot be tolerated.

If ever there was cause for flirtery

It surely was designer shirtery

Thank you for the warm welcome Theia. I'll see you get extra stock options and a posh yacht to help you carry your Director bonuses to the tax haven of your choice.

Did she do that weird thing she does, talking to worms or relating to them on a spiritual level of some sort?

There'd better be some wicked cowboy boots to go with this cowboy hat Snow, how's your leather work coming along... no boots, no Boops

I only talk to the worms before I eat them, and that only happens when I'm at the bottom of the garden in a sulk. I wasn't sulking at Theia's!!



Hey Nomad, are you implying Theia is a worm :-2

I've never heard of that game. A bit like a menage a trois with one additional hunky bloke??? Sounds like a swinging party!!!

Dunno if we should be bringing skin colour into it though. Might be seen as racist.

Coffee time: Make mine a strong black, please!

That sounds so much more interesting than Betty and theia crawling around on the lounge carpet searching for the 21st yellow counter (children stood back and directed our efforts!) Betty found it, under the television table :-6
