*picks out one from the box*


Hm... oisters in a way I like them


*gone*




































* that is...*

Those are my favourites!

*sips *
*munches happily*

*Another note materialises on bar*

"There probably are sandwiches in the right-hand fridge. We are happy our guests enjoy themselves "

*decides to enjoy sandwiches, finds some and brings them on the table*

I think I kinda like the idea how the place is run here, all those notes and such...

*half-hurriedly enters*

Hi Hati - good to see you around. Glad that you like the "service"...

Anything else I can help you with?

Hi Santra!

Erm, yes - could you please change the music?

*music - what music *

Sure - something special or just something of my liking?

Could you find something for my mood? Something soft and sweet...

*programs a 3-number set on the jukebox*

Hmmm...

"Gentle is my love", Cæcilie Norby
"When somebody thinks you're wonderful", Bryan Ferry
"Dream a little dream of me", Diana Krall

Soft and sweet

Dear Haiti and Englander,
What a wonderful time you have been having - shopping and meeting friends. Now you are at this wonderful bar. Do you think you could mix me a "brandy alexander" Englander please? It is my favourite cocktail. The setting is perfect with the sea breeze coming in. Glorious. I would love to see a sunset from here.
'Bye for now,
AR1

*Mixes:
45 ml Brandy
30 ml Dark Creme de cacao
30 ml Half-and-half
Shakes well in a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the brandy, creme de cacao, and half-and-half. Strains into a cocktail glass, garnishes with 1/4 tsp grated Nutmeg...*

Here goes, AR1

(before you drink that, pls note that you have ended up in the Great Outdoors bar down the road from Hati and €'s... Just so that you don't know where to go *after* the alcohol hits you )

Thanx so much

AR1 sips her drink. Marvellous. Delicious. The creamy fiery liquid moistens and then burns her tongue and throat. Fantastic!.
She remembers the last Brandy Alexander she had. How long ago!. What happy days.
Now which way did Englander tell her to go. She peers first right - and then left. Nooo.... She murmurs to herself. Perhaps it was straight on. On the other hand perhaps it was not straight on.
AR1 peers mistily back into the Great Outdoor Bar. She decides that she had better be safe than sorry, so does a smart wheelie, collapses in a heap, and lies on the ground, smiling and laughing to herself.
Then blissful sleep takes over.
"Where will I wake up?", she wonders as the Brandy Alexander and normal geriatric exhaustion take over.
"Where will she be indeed", murmurs an irate customer at the bar.
"Will these oldies never learn that they can no longer act as they used to"

"Hopefully never", riposts AR1, regaining her faculties for a moment, before righting her wheelchair and being courteously escorted to a convenient bed near the bar.
What a wonderful evening.
"Thankyou Hati and Englander, for helping an old lady feel young again.!"
"Good night and bless you both."

I guess we should go now, too, E. We have left our guests for too long time...
Thank you for everything, Santra.
Have a nice time, AR1.

*Hati and E are leaving*

Dear Santra,
and profuse apologies. I did not realise that you had mixed that delicious cocktail. Well done. Except that I missed the cherry.!! I think I have frightened off poor Hati and Englander. Oh dear.
Well thanks all the same - and I have enjoyed reading your space. You do get around don't you.? Regards AR1

Thx for the nice words

*makes a note to remember a cherry on AR1's Brandy Alexanders*

And I think you can relax - I don't think you or I can do much that will scare H&€ away...

*Enters and walks up to the counter*
On stiffdrink please!
*Walks down to the jukebox and orders "Our house" by the Madness*

- Here you are

*programs "Burning down the house"/Talking Heads after Madness*

*Enters.. *
G'day all, Can I have a pint o bitter please?

a.. (glglglglglglglglgl .. phhhhhwwwww) Thanks..

*gets in a little late...*
- her you are

Santra, I do believe I'm the new bartender!
*Swings over the counter*
What can I get you?
