(Sunday) We are getting closer by the day. Be true to the cause. Fight to the end. It's my day off so I'm off to the bingo with Nanna.

Enjoy your day off Dozz, you've earned it :-) Be careful with Nanna, deny all knowledge of the " you know what " . Loose lips sink ships and all that :-)

Oh, and don't forget your lucky dabber ! :-) xxx

Yep. To keep the old girl happy and unsuspecting I'll carry the shopping. She'll not notice. 'Lucky dabber?' Is this some sort of contraption I need for Bingo? Superheroes tend to participate in more strenuous activities - should I do some training before I pass through the hallowed doors into Mecca?

Oh cripes yes, I'll have to learn all the calls. Any chance 'snakes alive' is five?

Sir, dearest Sir, enjoy your well-earned day of rest. I shall keep the bugle primed and ready for 8/2. You are doing exceptionally splendidly. The time has come to think about your graduation ceremony. I shall be finely attired. My bugle shiny. I shall bring the battenburg as a special reward. Chocolate milk and figs shall overfloweth.

Onward, my dear leader. But first: bingo and rest. Always.

Second Lieutenant Miles_Yonder (promotion following your graduation) Batten-burg, there's a soldier's cake. I'll just have the yellow squares please. I await the call of the bugle tomorrow if I escape Mecca alive.

Rest well, for tomorrow is another day.

Alas my body is rebelling at my efforts yesterday and I have a sore throat. I don't know if I will be well enough for tomorrow. But I will keep the tea urn hot and get the Jammie dodgers plated up ready for your triumphant return.

Need some chickens so we can get fresh eggs for the celebration cake...

Second Lieutenant Spoonierunning, you make the most of rest day. I will spend some of the day in the mess tent, may see you there. Otherwise I shall be with Nanna or planning tomorrow's onslaught upon the aggressor.

I can't walk into Mordor, me boots are at the cobblers!

Exercise extreme caution down the bingo Sir, rumour has it, legs 11 is an enemy spy! Careless talk and all that......

Tell Nan I'll drop round that box of Huntley and Palmers on Tuesday

I was warned about legs and ducks but how many is Huntley and Palmers? Maybe I should stick to command of the unit, planning attacks etc.

Ha ha, don't know Sir, that information's above my pay scale. Do know Gypsy Cream 17 and of course 82, one fat lady and a duck.

Well NCO AncientMum I requested that Corporal poppypug (ents div) took nan but you are obviously the one for the job. I'd have guessed Gypsy Cream was some sort of rouge.

Clickety duck, sixty two!

Right Corporal poppypug (ents div) sorry but you have to take nan to the bingo. I may break faced with such an alien environment. I will take a flask down to the allotment and discuss future battle plans with grandad. He assures me his experiences with Wellington on D-Day could help with our success. I suggested that Wellington was the previous century but he insists that was Cardigan.
