(Tuesday) our mission... quest... thing moves to greater levels over the rest of the week. The leader has to achieve 7/2 today, weather regardless. Corporal spoonierunning WILL be graduating. Captain Waletta will stop eating her gingerbread house and her batman will assist further with the washing up. I_will will play lap harp, beek her squeaky grass, Miles_Yonder the bugle and of course we will have the starting triangle. Corporal poppypug (ents div) will keep us entertained, I'm sure. Gril of wonder still missing.
Are we aware of your thing for the week?

Bazza1234 we a a simple band of brothers challenging the might of the grasping nhs. I will not succumb to their torture and will use all in my many powers to be free. I have a guerrilla army some of whom seem to be approaching the moves from rank and file to officer levels. I've only just come to acknowledge this and promotions will be made by the end of the week. As you can tell, I am given musical assistance by my troops as I go out on my forays to view their battle positions. I've had a George Foreman Girl of Wonder recommended to make my bacon sandwiches but I can't find one in Currys. Maybe it's Formby, Clooney or Bush; I shall carry on looking. Some have suggested we are silly. We look to Corporal poppypug (ents div) for our entertainment. Nan provides Dodgers. We have no political/religious/interplanetary/state of health affiliation or rules for joining other than enjoyment and self-preservation. Join us if you wish, you may need to provide Jammie Dodgers first time round.
Who you calling simple? Actually batman did the dishes again tonight. I moseyed down to the old club to be told that despite eating the equivalent of a whole gingerbread house I am still on target & only put on a pound and that with no battle runs. Am I right in thinking my eateemed (that was meant to be esteemed- was there some Freudian meaning here) leader has just done battle with week 7 run 2 & is unscathed & can Bazza be said to have enlisted & the ent div, has this anything to do with talking trees? Have yet to get back out running 1 week & 1 day on.
We'll see if today brings news of/from Bazza1234. We should possibly check that Corporal poppypug (ents div) knows the purpose of our ents. She seems to.
Oh Miles_Yonder, you have quickly assimilated your way into our army for great and good. We are with you, music and flags available if needed. That 'tache deserves you promotion regardless of running level. Welcome Corporal Miles_Yonder.
My gratitude is hearty and plentiful, Sir, and your support and kind mightily appreciated. With flags, bugles, finely waxed moustaches and vibrant running gear, our army cannot fail. Onward, dearest Leader.
Sir sorry sir, no graduating run today, I'm back in the mess tent nursing a sore throat. But I have a George Forman, though alas I don't know if it's 'the' fabled girl of wonder are there any tests I can conduct to find out? Good luck today.
Mess tent again! If you have a sore throat you need to be in the field hospital not nestling up with the Soreen. Put a plaster on - you'll be fine. Not sure about the Girl of Wonder - see if she makes a decent bacon buttie, I suppose.
I am sure I just need some fortifying vitals and a snooze, I think the field hospital has more important things to do. I have earl grey tea and chocolate digestives.
Nan's almost always got Dodgers in the biscuit cupboard - she pops down to Poundland for ever greater supplies. Coupons and vouchers are a great help to the cause. She may soon be able to deal direct with Burton's.
Discovered a bejewelled (well, be-stickered) battle ocarina in the loft yesterday whilst searching for insurgents' camp (wasp nest). Luckily no lurking baddies but did find stash of musical instruments from daughters' younger days. Could probably put together a one-woman-band to rally the troops or, more likely, terrorise the enemy! Good luck with your 7/2 sortie Sir!
Nooooo, mission sabotaged by technology gremlins. Chin up Sir, you'll be up and at 'em in no time. In the meantime, maybe a cup of tea and a slice of Soreen (for medicinal purposes only, of course)
No, no, no. That is a slight upon my honour. If you're not careful I'll set Captain Waletta and Corporal poppypug (ents div) on you. It's all good honest entertainment, no need for medication.
Bazza, I was previously taken to task for suggesting the troops here were 'silly'. I think you should offer them some Lamingtons and Violet Crumbles, they would appreciate that...
Hmm. Maybe we could convince Corporal spoonierunning to take nan out there. She seems to be spending a lot of time in the mess tent - she may as well help get provisions. Will she find them in AUS$land?
They are exotic sweetmeats peculiar to the large continent to the west of Middle Earth. I think you can get Violet Crumbles off Amazon and I'm sure nan could whip up the lamingtons at home, they are not complicated.
The curious being, Nigella, (I don't see what that's all about) will have a recipe for the former. It seems nan will have to travel across what she calls uncharted waters for the latter. She says we have to make do with dodgers as she's too scared to take the risk.
This week's mission? I'm *meant* to be on R&R preceding Sunday's tackling of the 3-headed serpent in the Park that Hydes, however have signed on to STREAK for the next 40 days, so have been out for a quick trot round the block with the wet stuff falling from the heavens.
I have a recorder somewhere to add to the battle hymn if needed, however as I can't hold a tune in a bucket it would scare the enemy much much more should I attempt to sing!
Oh, my orchestra is truly stupendous! So, we have a starting triangle, a portable lap harp, squeaky grass, a bugle, a bejewelled ocarina and now a recorder. We rock. Sunday's mission in the Hyding park is unknown to me. Also do not catch a chill doing the STREAK.
Am returned. 7/2 completed. Close to collapse. Realised The wicked Bluey's instruction not to push myself too hard and to concentrate on keeping going to the end was probably stopping me from trying too hard so I drummed up the orchestra and moved faster. I must work out how far I'm covering - certainly not 5km in thirty mins. Must now regenerate and get back to imaginary life.
Today's mission (2/3) was thwarted by volunteering to aid in escorting a troop of thirty 6- year olds across the park (obeying all traffic regulations at major intersections) and into the Museum for 2 hours drawing anything they like. Naturally, my 3 squaddies could not agree on whether to draw objects in the room with dinosaur bones, the room with creepy Victorian era taxidermied animals or the room with looted Egyptian artifacts. Oi! It was settled with dinosaurs first, and then me stationed in the doorway between the other 2 rooms so they could split up. And then we had snack. And then they all agreed on drawing the fighter plane hanging from the ceiling above the taxidermied animals. And then we had to herd them all backo their barracks, er, I mean school.
Myself and several other mums stopped for a cuppa and pastry afterwards. I'm not sorry for the calories. It was that or booze, and it was a wee bit early yet for respectable mums to go to the pub!
That sounds to have been more than battle sufficient. Esp keeping those little ones safe from our dastardly enemy. There is no joy to be had in life fretting about calories. Healthy diet with sensibly scattered treats are much better than self-flagellation due to feelings of guilt. (I am possibly not the best person to come to for diet tips by the way but that sounds pretty reasonable.) Our wishes are with you for tomorrow, show them what you're made of - you can borrow some instruments and players if you wish.
Anyway pops, where are you with your missions? How can I promote others over you without knowing your progress. Exceptions can be made for members of the ents div.
By all means, my brave knight. There is usually something to drink and some form of entertainment going on in the mess tent. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to make your own. Or phone nan.
Corporal poppypug (ents div), you are too much. Just as I was wondering why Grandad couldn't have carnation like everyone else I remembered what grandad's farmers were. Yak.
