WEEKEND HIATUS

WHO ORDERED THIS??

 A 3 day hiatus with all my harem in tow last weekend started off with weather of dubious quality and the situation didn't much improve.   However this didn't fill us with trepidation as it would with a houseful of 5 teenage bipeds.

 Introducing my troops in no particular order of rank.   

TAMALEE

ISLA

TWEED

 The rain just meant we go to dabble in this....

GOING

 With lashings of that..........

 GOING

GONE

                              Same service,  different channel

 Under strict supervision the chefs could be relied upon to provide snacks

 At regular intervals

 Not bad,  not bad at all

  Senior management had downed tools,  the gates weren't opened all weekend, no manoevres were scheduled and we were pretty much left to our own devices.

  All the troops were able to rise to that challenge, no problem at all

 To spice up proceedings on occasion I took it upon meself to inject a bit of life into the troops.  By racing to the end of the deck warning "Forward Unto battle" or barks to that effect I could rally the battallion into charging off the deck in full battle cry, clearing the grounds of rabbits, birds and various imaginary foes.  Imaginitus can be highly contagious.  Sporadic forays raged on into the evening till at 11pm on Saturday night an ugly skirmish with a chog ensued.  I hadn't instigated that battle - which culminated in bloody chin washings and spine removals back in the barracks at 11.10pm.  Lockdown was swiftly instigated and the offended chog was repatriated into the safety of the adjoining kingdom.

 Recreation of actual events although the terrorists fared the worst.

Chog back in the safety of his pack.
