Welcome one and all to my Thatching Display, which will start shortly!

<BB<

erm...how shortly I be wonderin'?

*plonks down on the ground and chews a bit of straw absentmidedly*

*floating around all over the festival area making sure everything is prepared*

Hi there Leopardskinfynn - I'm afraid the festival doesn't start until Friday - would you be interested in helping? I have some tents I need help with - The Beer Tent and the Home Made Wine Competition tents...

Hello Titania

need any serving wenches?
*bosomy *

This way please, Leopardskinfynn...

Is that a bosomy wench that looks good in a bikini?

<BB<

You mean you're interested in her - purely for demonstrating thatchery, of course?

I'm afraid I am guilty of thinking that someone who likes displaying their bosom might be interested in entering the Bikini Competition on the beach, which is down river from Vavoom...

<BB<

Duuuhhhh... I guess my imagination is dirtier than yours, BB - sorry!

So it would seem

*floating by on inspection round*

Well, maybe yours isn't as obvious as mine!

*looks around*

Have you got all you need? The Beer Tent and The Cream Tea tent are already manned and open to the festival staff, you know...

*drifting off*

I'm ready to go!

*Brings BB a thermos of *

Here you are! I thought you might be in need of some refreshment. Have some of my delicious rum cake too...

What are you going to be thatching, anyway??

a roof? are you going to do little animals in the thatch, like the cottage down the road from my new house?

I had planned to - but apparently I need to get planning permission.

<BB<

Hi Ændr! Long time no see! And, I am glad to see you again...

What do you mean, you need planning permission??? Not for a demonstration only at this Festival? Here.. I officially give you permission to do a thatching demo. There!

*dusts hands*

Hi mari-rae, yeah, it's been a while, how're you?

So when will the thatching start? It's somehting I am *incredibly* interested in but I don't want to be waiting here all day in case I miss it.

*passing by on her way from the Cow Pattie Bingo to The Piano event outside The Beer Tent, in hand*

No display yet? I'll come back later then!

*drifting off*

Hi BB! I'd like to learn more about thatching ... do you have any suitable reeding material?

*Finds a pamplet and hands it to Kes...*
