I've booked a luxury suite overlooking the ocean at the Landmark Hotel, Bangkok, for three weeks, from November, 26. Vegetarian food for you and huge meals for Molly are included.

When you come back, I'm sure you'll look as brown as a berry.

Have a nice holiday!

My sugar cute squirrel, we are not going to limit our fantasy! There are excellent armchairs, sofa, tables and soft floor in this luxury suit, and of course all the beach and the sea are ours.

[Lady LG 4 159]

Justinianna

 

Unfortunately only two of your answers are correct:

 

14. We say as white as sheet about a person who is ill or frightened. ... белый как простыня

15. We say as poor as a church mouse about people who live in poverty. ... бедный как церковная мышь

 

Try again! But be quick! Molly Malone and victorian are going to be your competitors!

[Lady LG 4 159]

victorian

Molly Malone

Great! It`s fantastic! Thank you very much!

I'm awfully sorry, but I only booked two single (one way) tickets to Bangkok.

I completely forgot about return tickets...

So if you want to come back to Moscow, you'll have to buy them yourselves or guess as......as.. idioms and get return tickets as a prize.

 

Excuse my forgetfulness again!

 

Remember: you have little time left and Justinianna is going to be your competitor!

[victorian 8 435]

hi everyone .please see it very interesting-

It`s wonderful! I`m ordering the pole like this immediately. Molly, my kitten, I`m sure you can do these kind of tricks much better

[victorian 8 435]

I completely forgot about return tickets... ohmy.gif

It`s a fate. We are not going to come back. I`ll be fishing there and Molly will teach aboriginal kids English, cook exotic meals and grow bananas and coconuts in the garden.

[Lady LG 4 159]

Самира

 

Hi, Самира! Thank you for the link. What flexible girls! They climb the pole like nice little monkeys!

 

victorian

Molly, my kitten, I`m sure you can do these kind of tricks much better

After a plateful of pancakes with caviar and sour cream? I doubt...

That sounds great! Good luck! Where are you going to live? Do you believe in love in a cottage? (рай в шалаше)

If I were you, I'd book return tickets just in case...

 

A dialogue between victorian and Molly (a month later):

 

********************************************************************************

She: - But my darling, we can’t live on love.

He: - Sure we can. Your father loves you, doesn’t he?

********************************************************************************

[victorian 8 435]

Lady LG

Well as a matter of fact we don`t need much. For example we don`t need any clothes, just one-two leaves, we`ll need only one-two bananas and fish for dinner and this pole for Molly`s morning exercises. And just a hammock wll be like a palace for us.
