(wouldn't have thought that a recipe should cause a problem )

Splutter!

*as the Straw finds neat Gin!

*Returns bearing drinks in a professional barman type way*
Recipes? What was it for? Deadly Nightshade Punch or something

Hmm, It seems to be raining quite a bit

*puts up brolley over Hammock*

Is it me, or does the level of water in the canal seem to be rising?

Not a problem, if it gets too high someone can just howk out the Hillman Imp to create more space.

*Selects a nice large .*

Thank you, Munchkin!

*Puts up her umbrella and regards the river.*

There go some ducks. The current seems to be getting stronger.

Yes, but the water level still isn't coming any higher up the ducks!

No need to worry then says I. Just hope the barbeque stays lit, I really fancy a sausage sandwich about now.

isn't it amazing how ducks can put up with really deep water, and yet have such short legs. I wonder how they do it?

Its their ability to fly I think. I'll just nick that roll and those sausages a minute. Oh, by the way, the heat is starting to melt your umbrella.

Ah, that could be it. Mind you, the ones round our way are dead lazy, they never fly, just waddle around looking comical.

So, is there a sausage-inna-bun going ? Named meat please

*Pokes at the grill. Looses an eyebrow in the jet of flame but comes up with a black crumbly tube* I think this link is done.

*snatches burnt offering form Munchie*

You are the weakest link...... *places it in a bun and eats the lot*....goodbye...

How much lighter fluid did you put on that BBQ anyway??

Hmmm, Why doesn't Lighter fluid float away?

*Starts toasting marshmallows*

Depends what it is lighter than I suppose. *Quaffs gin*

It does, thats why flames go upwards, they're chasing the lighter fluid as it escapes.

*One of the ducks goes missing and something that looks almost like a plucked chicken appears on the grill.*

Oh! Waddle happen next, I wonder?

That roast bird smells good. Have we got any qweam qwackers to go with it?

Sorry mate, you're out of duck. We do have some Jaffa Cakes which might go nicely though.

I don't think eider of you has a clue on how to cook bbq food.

Duck and orange is a traditional mix what's the problem?

Toccata would like to point out to Zantic, that the duck who lost his coat and sat on the bbq to keep warm is nothing to do with her.

Though if I could pinch a bit of it when it's ready......
