It is soooo exciting!  It is! It is! I am sooo excited! I am going to host an "upper class"  dinner party! Me, Kiosk Ted Strath,  is going to be the host!  Henrietta the Hirer of teddy clothing is going to allow me to hire ( without charge of course, because I have no pockets to hold money) , some sparkly white chef's clothing! Henrietta popped into the Kiosk yesterday with them! I have a white apron, white top hat ( I did say that it was a classy dinner party! ), white tuxedo,  white gloves, and the best part of the outfit is fluorescent pink socks!  These socks are very, very important parts of the Chef uniform, because your little toes and feet can very, very tired when you are hosting a dinner party! If you have sore feet and you are wearing fluorescent pink socks, you can look at them and smile, and then you forget how sore your feet are! It makes a huge amount of sense don't you think?!  I got the tip from Valerie teddy from Vogue Teddies fashion magazine.

   Anyway, I am really looking forward to my dinner party! I have decided to hold it outdoors in the area outside the Kiosk. I wouldn't want to have any crumbs left or food spilt on the floor of the Kiosk, so that it why I am holding it outdoors. Bobby Bear the Balloon Blowing Bear is going to blow up millions and zillions and one colourful balloons to decorate the area of the dinner party! I do hope that none burst! Last time when I attended a party, a bright blue balloon burst, and little Fiona the Frightened Teddy got such a shock that she burst into tears! It was sooooo sad! We all rushed to comfort and console little Fiona, and after a little while she calmed down. 

  I have decided on the menu. I am going to serve the most fanciest, top class, trendy and quite tasty meal ever!  It will be a two course meal, and I will serve the first course on a silver tray! Oh, I just had an awful thought! It would be a BIG disaster if I accidentally tripped when bringing the meal, fell on the floor, and broke my teddy nose! That would be a catastrophe! Alicia from the Ambulance Teddy Brigade would then need to be called and she would need to come in her ambubearlance vehicle to take me to a teddy hospital! I don't like hospitals at all!  I don't want to go there! And... I would be wearing my nice white clothes, and the medical staff might mistake me as a hospital sheet and throw me in the laundry basket! I can just imagine the next thing would be, me heading teddy head-first down a laundry chute! That is not a very nice prospect! It sounds quite a bit scary! No... I will just need to try extremely hard to not trip! It will be okay if no Strathalan Residents leave any banana skins about for me to slide on! 

  My menu is going to be.... Cheese and Tomato sandwiches on multi- grain bread! Then, dessert will be fruit salad and yoghurt! It is very gourmet food, don't you think?! It will be sooooo great to serve this! 

  Well, I had better get ready now for my dinner party! Soooo much to do, sooo little time to do it in!

    Until next time,

            Don't slip on a banana peel!
