This Year's Top Tip......

[gness]

If you offer to man the ice cream and lolly stand at the village fete first check that you won't be between the burger and hotdog stand and the water filled balloon bombs and torpedoes stand.......
And check wind direction so you can arrange to be as far away on the right side of the burgers and hotdogs.......

Four hours of burning fat and spitting meat with the black smoke filling my gazebo on one side and seven hundred excited children.....well it seemed like seven hundred......exploding water filled balloons on the other has left me with gritty panda eyes.....stinking clothes and soggy wet shoes....

Unusual stall of the day?....When the scouts turned up with bows and arrows and targets made from pictures of Donald Trump........ :-)

Though the vicaress organising the doggie musical mats show was a close second......x

[Islay]

The vicaress is that a technical term lol

[gness]

Islay.......if I want it to be it will be........and if I want to say.......the vicaress was in a gay and jolly mood today I will.... language is such fun to play with......
Problems arise only when you're narrow minded and get your knickers in a twist.....or boxers.....or pants......or even your G string though I imagine that'd be quite painful..... ;-)

It's a real word lol

[gness]

Oooo...thank you, Smow......though I suppose as she's a vicar in her own right she's a vicar and not a vicaress...though I like the word and she's jolly good at organising dogs and their owners.... :-)

[Patsy33]

There never seems to be a dull moment in your life gness! :-)

[Smowball]

Well we have princess, mayoress, why not vicaress!?

[Islay]

A gay vicaress?
Oh my what will she teach the children Gness!!

[scooping]

So you enjoyed it then. Count your blessings.

[Mamyalynne]

Any lollies left?

[gness]

What would she teach the children?.......

Well.....SIT!.....HEEL! and STAY!.....for a start....... ;-)...x

Unusual stall of the day?....When the scouts turned up with bows and arrows and targets made from pictures of Donald Trump........ :-)




And I'm sure that was the scouts very own idea.

[gness]

Of course I enjoyed it, Scoop....I always do....but I will not be in the same spot next year.......I can barely type through the grit eyes.... :-(

No, Mamya.......it's hard to judge how many to buy though.....ended up with the last couple of dozen going for BOGOF........that pleased the parents no end......lick one...watch one melt in the sun....... :-)

[gness]

Who knows, Talbot....was extremely popular though.......x

[gness]

Didn't say hi there, Patsy.....off for a bike ride soon to clear the smut from my eyes.......that could be dull....unless..... ;-)

[Islay]

If you wipe the smut our of your eyes who knows what you will see!!

[Tilly2]

As long as you made a profit, Gness, that's all that matters. What was it in aid of? The Village Hall Preservation Society?

[gness]

A black cat if I'm lucky, Islay......we have an injured black cat in our area.....seen coming into my garden....
A kind lady has bought and distributed, all around the close, pouches of cat food for us to try to catch the cat...it's very scared....
With my luck I'll find it when I'm on my bike.....can I cycle with a cat riding pillion?.....

A good profit, Tilly....towards the village hall roof......x

[Tilly2]

Why do Village Halls always have problems with the roof? That's one of life's mysteries.

[DTCwordfan]

because their incumbents spend their nights out on the tiles......

[DTCwordfan]

I'll wipe my slate clean.....
