everyone’s Monkeying Around

image
Another day of downpour, so not much to do apart from try a little face painting and blow me I am a natural at this malarkey as can be seen from my first attempt.

Only problem is that this was supposed to be Princess Wassername out of Star Wars, don’t think Mrs Fogg was happy with the final product.

Is this how Van Gogh started?

Extra Time

Oh B O N U S, just had a call from the hot tub company, they can’t come until Thursday. Such a hardship I know, but I am sure we will cope until then. Hooorah more skinny dipping, only wish we’d left the gazebo up.

Oh well, bubbles here we come.

Last of the Hot Tub thumping

Ah the end of the Bank Holiday, booo. So as we settled inside last night after being in the tub once more, Mrs Fogg flicked on the TV to see a rather pathetic spectacle, Tom Jones warbling the only song he has ever done (yawn) and Lenny Unfunny Henry introducing lots of people to sing on a stage, however this is not what peaked Mrs Fogg’s interest, it was however the fact that when the ole queen came on the telly, she could be quite easily seen to have ear plugs in. Personally I don’t blame her between Tom Yawn and Paul McBoring I really did want to go and drown myself in the hot tub.

So this morning a nice late rise and straight into the hot tub for the last day before its collected and as you can see Mrs Fogg is making the most, book, glass of wine and chill.

Oh happy times, now where’s the grub.

After the Storm

Like most of the UK, we received a day of drubbing yesterday, so it was hot tub, food and beer, but not necessarily in that order. Today after brief hailstones it’s fantastic sunshine, Bartenga, swing ball, BBQ and beer. eventually Mrs Fogg and I were left alone with the hot tub once more, oh lackaday and forsooth, what to do, stuff it a little more skinny dippin (now we have no more guests).

Another fun packed weekend.

A Royal Visit to the JubblyBubbly

image

What a fantastic start to the Jubbly Bubbly party, her royalness queenie joined along with prince ginger, kate wossername that just married into them, Richard the Lionheart, the King and Queen and the King and Queen of Hearts. Since the theme was all things royal, it was hats off to everyone who dressed for the occasion (Mr Fink even had crochet chain mail, bonza).

The prize for the outfits went to Mr and Mrs CaddyFrog (sans wetsuit) who appeared into the BBQ complete with their own Pomp and Ceremony music playing in the background. The prize was of course an 18inch rubber duck that they could take into the hot tub.

Games ensued. swingball (where Mr Fogg absolutely thrashed LilFink), tennis (complete with the worlds worst built tennis net, thanks to the serving wenches), and the best game ever “drown the children in the hot tub”. Mr Caddyfrog was ever so slightly worse for wear 30 minutes after food (too much of the falling down water methinks).

So we’ve consumed a mass of dead animal so far and still a farmyard to get through. More of the hot tubbing and today watching the Royal procession go up the road, but somehow we won’t be joining in due to the typical British summer.

So raise your glasses and two hips and one hurray for the Jubbly Bubbly

Fit for Play?

Ah, must be Wednesday.

Huge gazebo setup? Yup

Counting down to Jubbly day…

Drought, Wot Drought

Well JubblyBubbly Party is all set to go and no we don’t actually live in a hosepipe ban area, however to show solidarity to our Southern brethren, we have decided to fill the Hot Tub not with a hose pipe but by bucket and to make it even more of a sharing experience we are even going to let the guests fill it for us. Aren’t we kind, oh PS this actually holds 1,060 litres of H2O, better come early so that we avoid disappointment.

After all why have a party and not make your guest work for it. If you start on Friday night it should be full by Saturday afternoon.

Can you see me

Test run for the gazebo, 9m x 3m, build time 45 minutes, argument time 15 minutes.

Now all we got to do is collapse it all and then rebuild again next Friday.

Menu, check, party games, check (quoits, spanner tennis, Bartenga, skittles and boules), sun, on order
