Snoopy meets Nick and The Boy

[tel]

We are setting off soon!

It's happening today?!?!? 

Worryingly, despite the lack of the promised "We are on our way" phone call, Nick has gone very quiet.
He has, as it were, slipped off the radar screen. 
Mrs Snoopy, to whom this visit was not revealed until this morning, has finished the high speed spit and polish routine and is now hiding the silver.

You hadn't told her? 

Clever ploy - tell her early and she has too much time to think of questions - last minute and she's only concerned abot the state of the place.

A good plan indeed...

Mr Wench tried that one once. It cost him dearly!

The visit has just ended.
Actually very nice to meet Nick and The Boy and all the kids played happily together. Unfortunately it got a bit boisterous at the end and my 9yo is on his way to hospital.
Too much larking about by all of them in a bedroom, cleared for redecoration, resulted in a sliding wardrobe door being pulled from its runners and landed on my 9yo's toes. He was, of course barefoot at the time
Looks like he will lose a couple of toenails and lots of blood everywhere but I doubt that he will need stitches.
No this is not a wind-up I promise. 
 
Captain Calamity strikes again! 

[Pastis]

Truth is often stranger than fiction, they say. Thank you for the confirmation and commiserations 

[Snoopy]

Thanks Pastis.

[GROWLER]

We are setting off soon!

I wouldn't come back if I was you.
The PIKEYS have arrived.....complete with at least one one eyed snarling dog..... in town a week early, and have already caused chaos on the main road, with ques going back to the top Chester road, trying to manouvere their 500ft long scruffy wagons and trailers through a 10' wide entrance.
Talk about panic stations at 'The Swamp' shifting my gear.
Even the old railway sleepers have now been hidden.

Good job I was literally 'just passing', as tomorrow may have been too late.
Panic phone call to paintball Paul, and he's on his way to shift and secure his gear, with the help of a baseball bat for some reason.
He apparently had some of his stuff nicked last time this mob were in town.


Nicktown is shortly due to become more chaotic than usual I suspect.

This has all the makings of a memorable weekend 

Note to self:
1. Do not travel North to visit aged aunt only a few miles from Chester

2. Resist invitations to go 'camping' at the V festival

3. Decline invitation from B-in-Law to help with harvest as DS will be blocking A4 and probably A3 with his combine

4. Stay at home and paint the second bedroom yourself since decorators can't be arsed to turn up

5. Search YouTube for more Jazz clips; they'll entertain you and annoy the others 

[Snoopy]

Up-date from Mrs Snoopy at A & E.
X-Rays have revealed that Snoopy Jnr has three broken toes ~ nail beds are damaged on two toes and the nails will be lost.
Dressings are about to be applied and tetanus jabs administered and he will then be coming home.

He will not be taking part in the planned mini-rugby sessions this coming week, nor will he be playing football for a couple of months. He is not a very happy puppy.

[Nick]

Christ!! I fear The Boy was implicated somehow, but no consistent explanation is forthcoming. I spect 4 small boys in a room is bound to generate disaster.

I must also apologise for the Rocket. I had not realised it had to be connected to the mains water supply. I am sure the flooding will subside soon, but wetsuits may be required for its next launch. The Boy has steam dried in the car on the way home. Glad I didn't wear my watch!!

What do they do to his toes? Splints? PLaster?

That door must be heavy!

[Snoopy]

I know! Words fail at times do they not?

[Nick]

Regretably it is all true. But Mrs Snoopy was very kind about it all.

I like that rocket though. We have left it there and Mrs Nick is out buying another

[Sour Puss]

Very sorry to hear about the young pup, hope he recovers soon. 

It was very brave of you, I have met with Nick on 2 separate occasions with just one brief scare and no lasting effects, but both Nick and the Boy together are another story.

I hope this does not put you off visitors, as I was planning a trip in your area in the next month or so and was going to ask to be allowed a quick visit.

Watch out for the Chapel!
