"If Spring has sprung and the Sun is 'ris, I wonder where the Birde is? Some people say the bird is on the wing, but that's absurb, the Wing is on the Bird".
Don't mind me, Dear Reader, I am jursst dotty tonight.
For tomorrow, WE are having a 'slap-up' lunch at the Studio and I will be meeting two of HER favourite people. One is a woman whom SHE calls Lollipop, yes, to her face she calls the poor woman this name. YOU must have realised by now that YOU only get given a nickname if SHE is fond of you and SHE is mighty fond of Lollipop aka Anne Beddo.
The other guest is the most enchanting old colleague of hers from days when SHE made beautiful lamps and lampshades. He is an Architect, he specialises in Georgian Architecture and is acknowledged to be, probably, the foremost expert on this subject. His name is John J. O'Connell and SHE adores him. His name is a 'no brainer', he is JJ.
She wanted Ship's Captain (aka Nicholas H. who is The Assistant Clerk at Goldsmith's Hall) to come but unfortunately, he is unable to make it, he will have to come another Friday, SHE holds these lunches on the last Friday of each month and very popular they are too. We meet at 12.45 with a glass of something delicious, sit down at 1.15 and stay there until late in the afternoon. Great deals are done and sponserships of folk and ideas are financed, none of this "I must go back to the office by 2.30 business" happens
WE eat HOME COOKED FOOD, WE don't eat any of that dreadful 'TakeAway' nonsense and very delicious it is, the subjects of conversation are extremely varied and in order to mix it all'up, the guests are a mix of clients, colleagues, family, friends, locals. WE can be six at the table or sometimes as many as 10, all having a jolly time.
It is always fun to introduce people to new people and to see friendships being formed. I certainly am looking forward to meeting Ships's Captain again, he was in the Royal Navy and his ship was HMS Lancaster, the Ships's mascot was an African Grey Parrot, he didn't think it was at all 'funny' when he walked up the stairs at the Studio and saw ME standing on HER head whilst SHE was doing some washing-up, you have to go through the galley kitchen to get to the drawing room, a room where all of the design drawing takes place, it is NOT a with-drawing room! Mind you, a lot of tea does get drunk up there....
WE have an early start tomorrow, SHE bought the leg of lamb and the vegetables today and has dropped them at the Studio, tomorrow housework has to be done and ingredients for pudding need to be purchased. I am being as quiet as a mouse but I know she knows I know that it is the dreaded 'bedtime'... how I hate those words. I have, however, decided that We do need to get up that much earlier, so I have decided to bite the bullet, fly onto her head and get the dastardly deed over and done with, this way, we can wake up sooner..
So I bid YOU all a very good night, I hope that Joanna get that norty bug out of her computer system.. norty bug, it told us all that she was in London with NO money, as if J-J would ever let that happen to her, very silly scamming bug.
WE get to see Debbie goat on Sunday.. bleat bleat... at Parson's Green Farmer's Market... bleat bleat, FRESH Goaty Milk keeps Mr. Woe out of our house!
Sleep well.
GeeGee Parrot.
