Another day in the field

Morning Fossil, said Phil.

Morning Phil, said Fossil.

What are we going to do today then Phil? Said Fossil.

Well I don't know what you're doing, said Phil,

But I am going to look at this old hedge over here!

Oh leave that old hedge alone Phil, said Fossil.

I have an idea, I have an idea of something we can do today.

Something more fun than playing in that old hedge.

Oooh what is it? Said Phil.

Are we going to practice our queuing?

We are getting quite good at queuing now, Fossil,

Don't you agree?

Yes Phil, said Fossil, I do agree.

I know our queue positioning is improving.

But that is not what we are doing today.

I have got a very good book in the shed Phil, said Fossil,.

It is a book that is in our library.

It is a book in the Rural Pastimes Section.

Oooh! Said Phil, the Rural Pastimes Section?

Might it be a game then Fossil?

Might it be a game we are playing today?

I think it might be said Fossil.

Wait here while I get organized.

I will just have a chew on this branch said Phil.

Ooooeeee Phil, said Fossil.

Come on, come and play my catch the carrot game.

Oh brilliant, said Phil,

I love the catch the carrot game!

I really love the catch the carrot game.

I can't catch the carrot Fossil, said Phil.

Guess what Fossil. I don't love this game.

I don't love the catch the carrot game any more!

Indeed said Fossil.

The next day

Hello little white goat, said Billy

Mad party last night was nt it?

Yes said little white goat,  I am just a bit hungry though.

There were not enough canapés for me!

Or me! Said Phil.

Indeed, said Fossil.

Last part of party time

Well Phil, said Fossil

I think that party went really really well.

Yes Fossil, said Phil,

The canapés all went, said Fossil

And the goats weren't  a nuisance.

You could nt ask for more.

Everyone really enjoyed themselves said Fossil.

I think I enjoyed myself a bit too much, said Phil.

Indeed, said Fossil

Party time 4

We need some music for this party Fossil, said Phil.

Don't worry Phil, I have organised everything.

I have plugged my new I pad air into the outside socket.

I will just go and turn it on.

I will turn it on and we can start the dancing.

I think the little white goat has already started! Said Phil.

He is showin' us his moooves!

Indeed said Fossil

Pass me a canapé please Phil,

It's going to be a long night.

 

Party time. Part 3

Well everyone is here, said Fossil.

We are just waiting for the goats.

I have just had an e mail from them.

An e mail telling me that they are running late.

Ummm, said Phil, why are they running late I wonder?

 

I bet it's that little brown goat!

That little brown goat is trouble I can tell you.

Oooeeeee. Oooeeee. Said the little brown goat.

We are here. Let's get this party started.

Come on said Phil, come on goats.

We are all ready to mingle.

Mingle? Said the little white goat

What's a mingle?

A mingle is not a thing little white goat, said Fossil,

A mingle is what you do at a party when you arrive.

You make polite conversation with the other guests.

Then you get drunk!

Great! Said the little brown goat.

When do we start!

Canapé crisis

Well Fossil, said Phil,

What are you going to wear to our party?

What are you going to wear to be smart casual?

Actually Phil, said Fossil, I have got something rather nice.

It's my special belt I bought from Harrods.

It's new and a little dashing!

How do I look? Said Fossil.

That colour looks very good on you Fossil, said Phil.

I must say, very good indeed.

Come on, we must hurry up and get everything sorted.

The party will start and we won't be ready!

Phil, said Fossil, will you organise the canapés please?

Get Puppy to help.

Organise the canapés nicely, Phil,

Organise them nicely so we are ready for our guests.

Phil? Said Fossil.

Yes? said Phil.

What is that crunching sound I can hear?

Oooh, I'm not sure Fossil,

I am not sure what that crunching sound is.

Are you sure Phil? Said Fossil

Are you sure you dont know what that crunching sound is?

 Actually I think I might know said Phil.

I think it might be me making sure the canapés taste nice.

Indeed, said Fossil.

Party time. Part 1

Morning Fossil said Phil.

Morning Phil said Fossil.

No work today Fossil? Said Phil.

No Phil, not today, there is a train strike.

I can't get into the office

So I have decided to organize a party.

Ooooh a party! Said Phil

How fabulous

Can I whisper in your ear who I think you should invite?

By all means Phil, said Fossil.

But I already have an idea of the guest list.

We have to invite the goats, said Phil.

I agree, said Fossil, we just have to invite them.

The party would not be a party without the goats.

And we absolutely have to invite Nog and Puppy.

Yes, said Fossil,

They will be our star guests.

Ooooh star guests! What will they wear Fossil? Said Phil.

What will our star guests wear to our party?

Something nice Phil, said Fossil.

They will wear something nice to our party.

Smart casual, I thought.

Is this ok? Said Nog.

How do we look? Said Puppy.

Pink disaster

Listen up Fossil, said Puppy.

Listen up I have some news to tell you.

What news is this? Said Fossil.

Come over here Phil, said Fossil,

Puppy has some news for us.

I am all ears Fossil, said Phil.

Listen to me carefully, said Puppy.

I shall say this only once.

THE GOATS HAVE INVADED YOUR DRINKS CABINET!!!

They have got the pink champagne out.

Oh no! Said Phil.

Not our estate bottled pink champagne.

Tell me it's not true.  Have they drunk it all Fossil?

Have they drunk all our pink champagne?

I think they have Phil, said Fossil.

I think they have.

A treat

Thank god it's Friday, said Fossil.

It's been a long week I can tell you.

That commute to the city just seems to take longer every day!

Are you moaning Fossil? Said Phil.

Yes Phil I am moaning, said Fossil

I feel I need a bit of a treat.

A bit of a pick me up.

A bit of a treat Fossil? Said Phil.

Well, I have got a bit of a treat lined up, as it happens.

Come over to the kitchen table Fossil.

Come over to our table and you will see your treat.

Ooooh cake, said Fossil. Yum yum.

I spoil you Fossil, said Phil.

Indeed said Fossil.

Hey Phil

Hey Phil! Said Fossil

Why the long face!

Champagne Charlie. Part 2

Fossil? Said Phil.

Yes Phil, said Fossil.

I am not sure that pink champagne is for me.

Indeed said Fossil.

Champagne Charlie

Fancy a drink Fossil? Said Phil.

I have got a selection in the drinks cabinet.

The drinks cabinet? Said Fossil.

Yes, said Phil, I've had it built into the side of the stable.

It is on the side here. It's even refrigerated.

I've decided that this stable will have all the mod cons!

Mod cons Phil? Said Fossil.

I am not sure about that.

Well, said Phil, I am going to have some pink champagne.

Can I tempt you to a glass Fossil?

Can I tempt you to a glass of pink champagne?

Is it like hay, Phil? Said Fossil.

Only I don't think I will like it if it's not.

Of course it's not like hay Fossil! Said Phil.

It is quite different, but I must say it's my favourite!

Ooooh! Said Fossil.

I think it's my favourite too!

UKIP

Morning Fossil, said Phil.

Morning Phil, said Fossil.

I am just wondering which party you are going to vote for? Said Phil.

Vote for? Said Fossil.

Yes, said Phil, which political party are you going to vote for in the next general election.

I am not sure, said Fossil.

I am just going to chew this post while I think.

I know, said Fossil, I know which party I am going to vote for!

It came to me in a dream.

Phil, I am going to vote for UKIP!

UKIP? Said Phil.

Yes, said Fossil, UKIP.

But what does UKIP mean Fossil? Said Phil.

It means U KANT INVADE our PASTURE, Phil.

That's what it means.

I am going to vote for that

And those goats will have to listen!

Those goats will have to do as they are told, said Phil,

Once and for all!

Indeed, said Fossil.
