The Granny's Rest

[Daisy]

After yesterday's family barbecue I'm all Pimms-ed out, so I'll just test Jean Luc's skills as making me a decaffeinated tea.

[Libra Gran]

Well I will have a huge glass of champagne as I had a chat with my boss today, as although I had verbally and put in writing my intention to retire in October, she had not mentioned it at all. After doing some rota calculations I shall leave 9th October. I had informed her I would leave on my birthday18th or the last working shift before that date whichever fell first. I also reminded her she would need to have someone lined up/advertised for as I would need to train them in my role and also another Duty Manager would be going on holiday for 3 weeks the same time I leave. Just in case she tried to convince me to "hang on" another month. Luckily she has someone in mind who I highly approve of for my role,but legally the position has to be advertised. So on a rapid countdown now -cheers and here's to retirement.

Yes Libra, it is countdown time.

[Gemini]

That's right, big celebrations in here when Libra retires

I am going out for a meal with friends tonight. I will be driving into town, so no alcohol.
However I can have a virtual G&T here before I go!

[Daisy]

LG - it will be a celebration and a half when your retirement day finally arrives. Definitely a party in here.

Jean Luc - I'd like a large glass of Merlot, please. I'm ready to put my feet up and relax tonight!

[Libra Gran]

I will have a sneaky B&C while peace reigns. We have gorged on KFC, the 1st time ever for Brian and I. Can't say I would try it again personally. But the girls enjoyed it, now engrossed in Harry Potter "The chamber of Secrets".

[Gemini]

Hi Libra, just having left the Tea Rooms, I noticed you here as I was passing!
Make mine a Southern Comfort and lemonade please barperson.

Your girls do look engrossed!

[Daisy]

It's a bit quiet in here tonight, so I'll quietly sink into that comfy sofa with a Brandy - in fact, I'll make that a double. Cheers everyone.

[Gemini]

I'm on my way to bed Daisy, but I will join you for a quick nightcap. A glass of Merlot for me please.

[Daisy]

Good evening everyone - guess who's back on the sofa with a double brandy in hand! Cheers.

[Gemini]

We can't have you drinking alone Daisy, so I'll have a Baileys to keep you company

[Plantaholic]

I will join you Daisy, move over. Cheers

[Daisy]

Cheers, Gem and Plant! It's nice to have company.

[Gemini]

G&T's all round is it?
I have set some up on the bar.
I will have mine now as we are going out tonight. Cheers!

[Daisy]

Cheers, Gem. thanks for organising the health-giving G&Ts.

I think I'll just sit down before i have my first one - I'm not usually a gin drinker! Hic! But i do want to stay healthy. Hic!
