Happy Birthday Gem Gems



Thursday night marked the beginning of several days worth of birthday/qualification celebrations for Gem Gems.

Champagne, more Pimms (truly, no mint plants were harmed in the making of the Pimms), bottle of wine on the terrace of the Avon Gorge overlooking the suspension bridge, champagne in Perry's on Friday, lots of vodka and dancing, BBQ with yet more champagne and sangria on Saturday.

We threw some top quality shapes on Friday night to such quality tunes as Footloose, I'm Still Standing, Jesus He Knows Me, and Club Tropicana. It was an hilarious night. A stag party attached themselves to us but refused to believe a word we said.

"So what do you do?"

"I'm doing a PhD in science stuff"

"So you're like a scientist?"

"Yes"

"Oh yeah I know your sort. You say you're a scientist but actually you're a scientist in that you're like, a hang-glider"

"Eh?"

"You're a scientist in the same way that they're scientists" (Points at two policemen)

"They're policemen"

"Exactly"


Sadly for Stu he missed all of this having gone off sailing with some friends. Rodney got dolled up in his best most jaunty sailor outfit but Stu forgot to take him.

- oh my, that's priceless.
Women aren't allowed to be scientists! Surely you know that.

Thanks for the visit!

Welcome Barbara! Yeah it was pretty funny. They were nuts. They also didn't believe that Gem was a doctor. When she insisted she was 3 of them simultaneously got out body parts for diagnosis!

Walking man I would LOVE to be a policeman. Or a detective anyway. Like Columbo. Or Morse. Actually I would really want to be Quincy M.E. You can be Sam and do all my lab work if you like.

Oh good lord. Wow. And i thought rodney was a little on the large side. Good grief. Mr puddins is HUGE!!!! God love him. I think they would be in mad love with each other but no exercise would take place. The boy don't move much. They are like kindred spirits. Bless.
