COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi Adam lovely to not see you!!
I've missed everyone here.
I hope you, Wifey and Tidgy are all well.
Lola has been to the vets today as he has not been himself for a couple of weeks and worrying me - off his food even his delicious dandies and plantains etc. Not interested in basking even in the lovely sun, but he always has taken a bit of persuading to go outside after the winter when he has been institortionalised indoors.
He had bloods taken so won't get results until Thursday so fingers crossed its not something serious.
I though Fez may need the rain so arranged for our usual bank holiday weather to come to you instead - hope lots of lovely dandies grow for Tidgy.
I also hope your work is going well and that we get to chat soon.

Soon, we will chat.
It's been a long, long time.
Hope Lola's better now

Bad Splat.

Poor SPLAT!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How about putting it on your hat?

This hat?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

is the engagement off between Tidgy and Oli then?

Yes, Tidgy is footloose and fancy free again.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'd forgotten about the one legged pirate but Montgomery and the Leprechaun are new, I'll look forward to bumping into them!

No, no, no, the giant armadillo coffee table has been around forever.
The name Montgomery was more recent but still in your time, I think.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes, but she's much better now, thanks!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

.
Thanks for that I remember the armadillo but not his name. Those pesky leprechauns are trouble with a capital T .

A capital L, surely?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You should get a leveret instead of a bunny the day before your holiday
then you can say 'Hare today, gone tomorrow'

(Sorry Dan I have a terrible sense of humour)

Hear! Hear!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Actually for a change I used my George Foreman grill to make a toasted cheese and tomato panini - that's cooking with real ingredients isn't it?

Master Chef stuff!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

How long. If it was for at least 5 years then Oli would be Tidgy's common law wife.[emoji6]

Nope, not that long!
And nothing had been consummated.
Dandelions consumed, yes.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nope. Didn't know there was one.

There isn't.
The Cold Dark Room is the Naughty Step of the Forum.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Correct. And we are going to arrange a lovely wedding party. Wait and see what @Tidgy's Dad says.

Sorry, Gillian, Tidgy has decided to play the field for a bit.
She's decided she's too young to be tied down.
And Oli is a bit naughty sometimes.
And doesn't pay her enough attention.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Of course in the UK, the tradition is that the bride's father will be expected to cover all costs so you don't need to worry about that Gillian.

Definitely off!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

@CarolM @Lyn

IMPOSTER ! ! ! !
That is NOT my beautiful Tidge.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh of course that goes without saying.

No it doesn't!
It's nice when people say such things.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Aaahhh cute. They make the perfect couple.

Maybe, but it's not Tidgy.
It doesn't look like Oli come to that, either!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh....yes I finally did! I enjoyed it so much, I didn't want to return to Amman.

Glad to hear that you had your hols, Gillian!
Finally!
Any postcards?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nor me - I just talk drivel usually.
It's always been nice to chat to you though Ed.

Thank Lyn.
You are truly one of my favorite strangers.[/QUOTE]
Mine too.
And you don't get much stranger.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Suit purchased remarkably easily in the first shop we tried. We obviously got lucky.

40” chest long jacket and 32” waist extra long trousers ... Seriously who has a 32” waist?!

Mine's 28".

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Why ? There is no reason for that to my opinion. Or is the reason named wifey ?

Partly wifey.
But I seriously think it would have upset Tidgy's view of the Universe if she thought she had competition.
