So when did we last have a party!

[Jen-Jen]

Hi all,
I'm coming as Felicity Rivers and I'm longing for a midnight swim after such a hot day. Ginger beer and ice-cold lemonade is on me!!! Cheers!!

[Moonraker]

Aunt Fanny, what is wrong with your poor plates of meat? Have they gone off or something?

I think its walking in these terrible shoes that have made my plates ache so much. Ah well, soon be back in jeans and trainers...

[staggers off looking for the loo...]

[Aurélien]

Muchly revived by a short nap in his favourite chair, old Aurélien checks out the supply of alchoholic beverages....
Hmmm, only

• half a bottle of Creme de Menthe,
  that bottle of South African Rieseling that Lenoir left behind,
  a miniature bottle of alleged Hong Kong Whiskey that I've never dared sample, and
  those 'Kirrin' brand liqueur chocolates that Viv sold me.

Decisions, decisions......maybe a spot of mix-and-match?

Chocolate surprise gargle-blaster cocktail, anyone?

I'll come along as George if that's okay with everyone, I could go all out and get my hair permed!! I think it was the 80's when I had a perm, those were the days

My little dog Morgan can be Timmy, he's always at my side, and sleeps on the bed too. I could put a neckerchief around his neck with Timmy on it.

Loads of ginger beer for me thanks and lashings of whatever else is on offer

Murmuring his thanks to Julie, old Aurélien first reaches for the ginger beer (much safer) but after seeing the nightmare vision that comes sashaying out of the loo he grabs blindly for one of his own lethal chocolate surprise gargle-blaster cocktails...anything to blot out the memory of such a horrid sight!

Frederick opens one eye, hiccups slightly, sees Aunt Fanny tottering towards him on her heels and forces himself back into blissful unconsciousness.
