Vimes Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 LOL the sun tan lotion sounds like a good idea as well as the aloe gel A boat, (to fish from) A net ( to fish with) And (seems as everyone else has someone else on the island) someone nice and easy to get along with to do most of the cleaning of the fish (a very yucky job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and icecream! (i do have a fridge) And a spade. (very useful things spades) You must go out straight away and buy the box set of Jeeves And Wooster. I play them all the time, so funny and so cheering! Google them and then buy them. The books are by P G Wodehouse, and are really good, but the DVD better. I want a spade too [forgot that and after all we don't have a loo!] how come you have a fridge? where do you plug it in hmmn? Hugh Laurie [you remember he is with me here, says to tell you that he plays Bertie Wooster in the DVD I told you about, and very well he plays him too!] I also want some jogging trousers [as I fear I may get very fat here, what with all the fish, chocolate etc.] and a pair of woolly socks as my feet get cold on this island at night time [Hugh Laurie has his own tent by the way.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the sweat pants- I was thinking that with all the fishing and fruit collecting and loo hole digging etc that, that counted as exercise :ROFL: Edited October 3, 2013 by Vimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) And we need sandals And I so need my camera and solar power charger for it And a laptop, with solar charger. Edited October 3, 2013 by Vimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardengirl Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I see you are getting round everything using solar power! Very cunning Me and Hugh Laurie have decided we want a dog here on the island! [take it for walks, relieve the boredom, get fit etc.] so, a medium size dog, a spaniel to retrieve any fish, a dog basket with a little blanket in and 2 doggy dishes.

Vimes Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Solar is a wonderful thing I love doggies, they are so happy and easy to please throw a ball and you are the best person in the universe.

gardengirl Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Nearly all of us here on the 'Island' now have another person with us [and also a dog in my case!]So Vimes, where is your friend? You know I told you that Hugh Laurie plays Bertie Wooster? Who you didn't know, well he also plays Gregory House in House on tv. So, now, do you know who I mean? Hugh is getting a bit worried that nobody knows who he is, and he thought he was popular!I do my best to reassure him that he is loved and missed, but he's getting mopey [i may swap him later on.] So, with that in mind, a piano [so Hugh can play all his jazz stuff] 2 glasses [for our gin, we are tired of guzzling it from the bottle] and a rubber ball [for the dog, who we have now called Calypso.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I looked Hugh up and now I know who he is...I'm good with faces but bad with names I am am still thinking about who is here with me... Cute name for your puppy My three things are a... big sun hat Flint to help me make fire And an axe for chopping fire wood P.S it looks like it is just me and you again!

gardengirl Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yup! just you and me! Ah well, it's been fun, and Hugh and I have enjoyed the rest in the sun, we may stay here for a few more weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 You guys sound lonely so I'll join you for a bit. I can see you're seasoned desert islanders now so you'll have to put up with the newbie. (I'll borrow Hugh Laurie if he gets too mopey with you, GG. I'm a HUGE fan of his too) OK firstly I want a very large comfortable bed, preferably made up with white cotton sheets (I'll have plenty of spare time for beating them on rocks, bleaching them in the sun and stuff, to get them clean) A large solar powered fan (I wilt when it gets too hot) A friendly milking cow (I couldn't survive without milk in my coffee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I think that I might stay here for a few months... and is has been great fun, who knew that being stranded on s desert island could be so relaxing? And talking about coffee, I need a kettle for my morning cuppa tea. And some tea And seems as you have a cow can I borrow some milk from you poppy?

poppy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 And seems as you have a cow can I borrow some milk from you poppy? Of course you can! Thank goodness for that! I was wondering what ever to do with all this milk I've got left over. I've made yoghurt, cottage cheese, milkshakes and still there's more....... Ok, I think I'd like an old-fashioned canvas tent, the sort you can roll the sides up on. A tilly lamp A voluminous mosquito net to keep all the bugs out at night when I'm reading by my tilly lamp.

Vimes Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Thank you poppy I just can't have my tea in the morning without a drop of milk in it.

Rachel56789 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yummy! Earl Grey is my favorite type of tea. Nice Do we have any coffee drinkers on the forum?

gardengirl Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yummy! Earl Grey is my favorite type of tea. Mine too! I know the correct thing is to have a slice of lemon and no milk in Earl Grey, but I always choose just to have milk. Nice Do we have any coffee drinkers on the forum? I love tea but I'm also partial to a nice mug of coffee with Vanilla creamer. Yes Rachel, In fact I am asking for a solar powered coffee machine , vanilla creamer [even though I don't know what it is!] and demerara sugar, also an attractive china mug [oh and a teaspoon, I can't stir it with my finger.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimes Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) LOL not unless you want a nicely toasted finger! And yes the proper way to drink Earl Grey is with lemon but... I can never bring myself to try it I would like a pair of sunglasses A little solar oven And a crate full of seeds and things like that (so I can grow a few of the things I need) Edited October 7, 2013 by Vimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel56789 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I would have: Cooking essentials (like a stove) A few good books A first aid kit (for emergencies) Sunblock water music Edited October 7, 2013 by Rachel56789 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
