2005 SE1 Christmas Party!

don't worry Plum a few glasses of wine and by the time i get there my shyness will have totally disappeared!!!

Plum,

Why aren't you asking (little) Mapmaker whether he will be bringing anyone with him?

It would add to the sense of occassion.

Mapmaker will bring his tweed jacket and we shall continue to pry
into his and TLMJJ's future. He may also bring a plum tart because Plum missed the one he brought to the summer party. Or he may bring....oh shut up, it's seven oclock in the morning here in Tel Aviv and I'm just burbling on. See you on Firework Night.

Will Mr Hatt be at the head of the table?

We haven't had much success in luring him out so far (although he did come to last year's cider pressing) but you never know!

Menus from the Oak will be available in 2 weeks time I'm told.

can i go on the "waitlist"..... oh it's so exciting !

Ha HA, will Mr. Hatts be at the head of the table! Will pigs fly! I should cocoa!
