The frogs are decorating the dining room for the Captain's anniversary party. Ducky is supervising them because if she turns her back they will strew bathroom tissue all over, and it's in short supply. (The Grumblers, you know, use quite a bit.) The frogs think bathroom tissue is very festive for some reason.

The Danish Chef is very busy creating exotic specialties for the occasion and Carnaby says he is going to sample the Kilkenny Cream to make sure it's good enough for us to toast the Captain. (I hope there's some left afterward.)

There will be NO cream soda, Piaf. You will have to make do with Bailey's Irish Cream. Sorry.

Reinhard,
you are urgently required in Berlin to support my social activities. Count von Donnersmarck is very active for people after stroke, and he invited us for five days.
On the return trip you might take 500 rolls of my favourite bathroom tissue - camomile scented and printed with yellow flowers.
Also you will take a bottle of my egg-nog with sweet cream for the captain, and the cats, to toast him.
But forget about taking our families vodka barrel.
Squeaky sent me an EMail, that Lord Scotty (one of the passengers ?) hates vodka.

Reinhard will be working hard for a week in Berlin and we will be playing in Mexico. Be safe, Reinhard! And please hold off the Klingons, Captain! Ducky, keep an eye on those frogs. Reinhard will replenish supplies soon.

Congratulations again, Nods.

Love, Mary Claire
