Celebrate the GOOD THINGS

[Kayleigh]

Breaking news Barry! - the 'Man from Michelin' says "Not only are you Nottinghamshire's most charming Italian Stallion! - you are also an excellent chef and host too!

Furthermore, (and without the need to sugar-coat it!) ....

La Trattoria 'La Casa di Barry' has been awarded - a grand total of 203 Michelin Stars!!".

Yes, the maximum is usually 3 - but an extra 100 stars were awarded for your Trattoria always being 100% sweet-smelling (including the Chef and the ambiance!) - Plus, a bonus 100 stars, were awarded for being 100% sugar-friendly'! LOL

... and, it goes without saying, that anyone dining at 'Casa Di Barry', is always greated with the warmest of welcomes and sweetest of smiles - from the resident Sugar Daddy!

I enjoyed listening to the song you posted a link to - thank you - That was very 'Amore-ly' of you! ...

I hope you and you family have a wonderful time celebrating your daughter's Birthday - Buon Appetito!

And, if you would like a sprinkling of corn with your desserts LOL ...

Love and best wishes to you all,

P.S Very good move to sit on your walker while you are doing the cooking! By the way, your Trattoria also achieved the highest ratings for hygiene - and health and safety too!

Ciao di nuovo, Barry,

Please pass on my 'Happy Birthday' wishes to your daughter, and sticking with the Italian theme ...

Count me in - I LOVE TO PARTY Manchester is only a hop away!!

You'll have to have cartoons - The Hair Bear Bunch, Wacky Races, The Clangers - I'll bring the videos, I'm sure someone has an old VHS player hoarded

Dina deserves a blow out going home party.

Love Ellie.

Hi Ellie,

As you probably know, I'm a big fan of cartoons (and I like watching them, almost as much as I enjoy quiz shows)!!

I know it's a bit naughty of me not to wait until the party, but I got so excited when you mentioned those 1970's cartoons, I couldn't resist taking a cheeky peak at one of the your videos! I always wanted a car like Penelope Pitstop's (I think the built in features would be perfect for me - and I could definitely do with that very handy lipstick applicator she has!) LOL

I'm feeling a bit peckish now, so think I'll phone 'Deliveroo' to order one of these ....LOL....

Remember those firemen you saw outside the hospital Dina?

The good news is that I've managed to track them down again, and they are looking just as cute! (and even more hunky than the last time we saw them!) LOL

LOL that's funny Kayleigh. It makes you realize how for we've come with CGI.

I do remember the Banana Splits Dina, didn't know they were in the UK as well.

Thank you all for organising my impromptu party. It’s FAB! I particularly like the videos of Pan’s People playing on the wall which I see TC and Sugar Daddy are enjoying.

Sorry I’m late to the party, everyone. I’ve been searching for my red polka dot platform shoes. Ooh, they’re a bit tight and I keep falling off them. Ah well, at least no-one will notice when I have lots of topples because of having too many tipples.

You’ll see I’ve dug out my red suede hot pants and a skimpy top, which is even skimpier now, with the passing of a few birthdays! Do you think my outfit will appeal sufficiently to Doug for him to do an impersonation of the Milk Tray man? I’m a sucker for a man in a black polo neck jumper swinging from a rope, with chocolates in his hand! I wouldn’t want him to hold them too long - they might melt!

The food sounds delicious and the Mateus Rosé will round off the meal perfectly, except for me as I’ve never liked wine. It has to be sweet Martini and lemonade for me, with a cherry, of course.

Come on, everyone! On the dance floor- Status Quo are playing

Red suede hot pants....

Skimpy top....

Red platforms....

And you wonder if Doug would like your outfit I think he's having an ice cold shower now Dina just picturing the scene!!

And yes, he'd come crashing through the window, Milk Tray in hand - or maybe he ought to use the fire ladder, that's conveniently at your window. He's let himself go of late I hear, too much Chateauneuf du Pape and Brie.

[Kayleigh]

Hi Dina,

I think I hear the whirring of helicopter blades - could this be The Milk Tray Man arriving with your chocolates?

http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eTTssqZgQcs

The Milk Tray Man said that even if you arrived at a party after him, he wouldn't mind. He says 'Gillette' is well worth waiting for!

He said his brother thinks you are great too and is having some photos taken to send to you. I think you will agree he isn't quite as handsomeone as the Milk Tray Man but he has got a very cute smile - and he is definitely 'smoking hot'! ...

Darling Dina

You are SOooo naughty! And Kayleigh and Ellie are not much better.

You may be leaving hospital today (Hooray!) but I shall be heading for the cardiac ward if there is any more talk of red suede hot pants and skimpy tops. Let alone Pan’s People swirling about!

For Heaven’s sake girls! Go easy on an old man. There I was looking forward to a relaxing party, sitting by the bar, upending a glass of Dom Pérignon ’96 and watching the young things bopping about.

Now where did I put those flares? Shall I find that black polo neck for the chocolates….

Bon voyage! - safe home

Doug

Thanks, Kayleigh, I loved your compilation but I wonder why dapper Doug decided to colour his lovely white hair?

And, Doug, I wonder whether it would be Kayleigh, Ellie or me who gives you mouth-to-mouth?

[Doug Carpenter]

Party time!

And, Doug, I wonder whether it would be Kayleigh, Ellie or me who gives you mouth-to-mouth?

Don't worry ladies, you can all have a go!

Hugs

Doug

[Ellie]

Correct (diplomatic) answer, Doug

The nearest I get to Dom Pérignon these days is if I have Domperidone antinausea meds !!

Love Ellie.

Love Kayleigh

On behalf of our daughter thanks for the birthday wishes Kayleigh. We have now recovered from our party indulgence and we have sent her home. Just enough time to recover before heading to Cambridge tomorrow to celebrate my sister in law’s birthday only this time I can sit back and relax.

Love,
Barry x

[Kayleigh]

Grazie Barry.

I'm glad you all enjoyed your daughter's Birthday celebration and I hope you and your family have a wonderful time in Cambridge. Good to hear you can hang up your chef's hat, for now, so that you can relax at the next Birthday celebration - and the Man from Michelin has confirmed that the 203 Michelin Stars awarded to 'Casa di Barry' will still be shining brightly when you get back!

I hope the journey goes smoothly tomorrow and the weather cheers up a bit. I'm hoping for drier weather so that I can go outside tomorrow ... hopefully, blue skies are on their way! ...

Don't worry ladies, you can all have a go!

Hugs

Doug

Sorry Doug!! I'm not available to 'have a go' - because my first-aid certificate has expired! LOL

But the good news is that I have found a possible candidate - you will delighted to know that 'Norah Batty' wants to fill the vacancy!

Norah B asked me to forward her letter of application on to you, without delay!!:- LOL. ...

"Dearest Doug,

I would like to offer my services, as I understand there is a vacancy available in your 'trio'!

I can assure you that my first-aid certificate never ever expires! I also guarantee 100% satisfaction in meeting each and every one of your medical needs.

I am so enthusiastic to make a start with satisfying you, that I am already puckering up my lips - so that they are warmed-up and ready to give you immediate mouth-to-mouth, if you so wish!

Just whistle, to summon me Doug, and I will by your side - yes, again!! But this time, I will be fully-clothed - in my Nurse Norah uniform (complete with appropriate lingerie!).

Apologies Doug, if I was a bit heavy handed with the Swedish massage I gave you, last time - but thank you for saying you absolutely love the way I wear my stockings!

Additional good news, is that I'm a qualified barber too. So, if you ever want a 'wash, trim & blow' just let me know - and it definitely wouldn't cost you much of your pension ('mates rates', I promise!).

See you later Doug!!.. Norah xxx".

And to supplement her application, Norah has provided a video clip (which incudes evidence of her puckering up her lips - "in eager anticipation Doug" - she said!). Also, she wants you to know that it would be no problem to edit the video - so that 'Doug' replaces 'Compo'! LOL
