Let’s make a ritual bonfire and dance naked around it, in celebration of the monster’s demise!

Jem Badhuri

Those of us who’ve worked day and night don’t consider it a monster.

Ludya Parak

I can take some resin components home for the kids to play with in the garden.

BIN THE BEAST.

Jem Badhuri

I’ll keep it. All of it. No one take anything off it.

Patrick Bright

Are you sure, Jem? Where would you put something that huge and unwieldy?

Gela Nathaniel

Let’s finish the piece before we decide its fate.

Jem Badhuri

Dad can clear a space in the garage and park his car on the drive.

Doodle message group [Private] Jonathan, Ludya and Jem, 8 May 2024:

Jonathan Danners

Logistics for the day. I’ve booked a Luton from a local company. If we do all the loading ourselves, we’ll only have to pay for a van and driver. Royal Hastings to RD8. Invoice attached, Jem.

Jem Badhuri

How do we get there?

Jonathan Danners

Luds, will you take us and any additional bits and pieces?

Ludya Parak

OK. But get permits for both vehicles. Remember the attitude on the front gate last year.

Jonathan Danners

Jem, set aside some budget for Ludya’s charge receipt, post-event.

Ludya Parak

Have you told the van to wait and return?
