Look who's flown in, and has been keeping me company whilst I've been somewhat down with a very naughty back these last few days...
Why the lovely Mary Poppins of course, and she's been practically the most perfect company...in every way!
Such a cheery disposition...and since she's never cross or cruel when it comes to feeding and medicine time (no gruel or Castor oil - ever, just delicious fruit flavored cordials, and toast with jam), there is no reason to hide toads in her bed (she's in the guest room at the moment) or put pepper in her tea!
She's been very kind and very witty...her rosy cheeks and sing-song voice have made me feel so much better! And did you know that she's very dear friends with....
Miss. Truly Scrumptious? Well, she is! And between the two of them...my ill back has started to feel maybe just a drop better, at least for a nano-second here and there when I'm singing with them or tapping my pinkie which is about the only thing that isn't hurting at the moment.
Miss. Scrumptious is as lovely as a cherry-peach parfait, her clothes are prettier than a breeze across the bay...and she has been spoiling me rotten with gingerbread, lollipops, sugar plums with cinnamon, and lemon tarts (this hasn't gone over very well with Mary, but she knows that Truly is just trying to help). I hope she never, never, ever goes away.
Now Mary and Truly both had another friend that they insisted I invite over, she was from France. Little did they know that I had met Gigi before...
And since I remembered her well...I thought it a grand idea to have her join out little get-well party. I loved the idea of having her regale us with tales of the latest from Paris, and thank heavens, even though Gigi is not one to adore or understand the Parisian's...she's happily shared the pomp, luster, and sparkle of Paris in all of it's 1900's best.
Tomorrow though...these ladies are arriving.
As well as these...and I must admit I'm a bit nervous, as all I've been comfortable wearing are my old Gap sweats and hoodie, I hope they'll be understanding.
And I hope that they'll bring a few of the domestics with them, I think Mr. 24 would appreciate it very much as making tea and crumpets is really not one of his strong points, but I'm sure Mary and Truly would be more that happy to give him a hand, and Gigi as well...although I do believe she only knows how to make chamomile tea...that would be fine, wouldn't it? I suppose we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.Please wish us luck, as I think these ladies are probably very serious about their tea!
(Disclaimer: I've taken nothing stronger that Advil...truly! I'm just enjoying the wonderful company.)
