Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening all on another rather chilly night.

Do come in and make yourselves comfortable here in front of the fire in the Great Hall whilst we await the usual sumptuous array of drinks and nibbles.

Sadly, lordalex cannot be with us this evening as he is tied up.
I did warn him about trying macrame again, but he's a game old bird and insisted on giving it another go.
Uncle Joe is assisting with the big scissors but it looks as though they will be at it for some hours yet.

For tonight's raffle, so far I have

A small ball of macrame twine
A bag of barley sugars
A set of binoculars...one lens gone wonky.

[DaisyNonna]

What did you match with the rubbish Miss Meg?

[alexanderd]

holds breath

[DaisyNonna]

For goodness sake DT. Just call for the medics from next door and get a cat scan.

[ladyalex]

We don't know for sure about Mamya and the butler, Meg...but they are both absent without notice.....


And tonight's winning colours are:

16
49
67
23
35
7

It appears that I have not won anything this week.....

[Meg]

I'm confused Daisy,and you are not helping, albeit you are a lovely personxx

[alexanderd]

You havent won anything, oh dear oh dear oh dear, I got the binoculars(Oh b....r its the wrong eye

[ladyalex]

Congratulations, alexanderd.

I think I may have to retire shortly....the lack of prize-winning is a shock to the system....

[Caran]

Would anyone like a bacon jam canape?

[alexanderd]

I would have a lie-down if I was you LadyA I am sure things will be back to normal next week

[DaisyNonna]

My apologies Miss Meg.A matter of semantics. You said you had put a match to..... I thought you meant you had matched something, not imagining that you were a person who would set fire to something. Apart from the croc.

[ladyalex]

Hello, Elsie. How lovely to see you after such a long absence.
Please excuse me, I am in shock at the moment.

[Meg]

CLAIM!!! I have all those tickets, lucky me!! On my way to the big house to collect my prizes.

[Caran]

You are excused Ladyalex.

[alexanderd]

Well i am off to the lounge to watch the footy, see you all next week if we are spared and perhaps we will be honoured with the presence of the butler and Matron

[ladyalex]

Well done Meg. I'm afraid I have to go to bed now with a cold compress. Thanks for all the laughs and see you all again next week, if we're spared.

I hope I can rely on DT to return and lock up.
Bye all :-))

[Meg]

Thank you daisy, my semantics are not to good at present, I'm afraid I will have to visit the bog again very shortly. Very nice to bond and know we have the same lavitoriial inconviences.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, I am here at last, travelling all day and only just managed to get any internet, basically sat atop the garden shed roof in this pretty cottage garden in the Dales.
If you were to check the minutes I am sure notice was given that half term would see me in charge of the little ones, still a break is a break!!

I am alarmed at the nasturtiums being cast right, centre and left - I have a sneaky suspicion that the lady butcher has gone missing this week too, I tried to get some scrag of lamb yesterday only to find the 'closed' sign up.
So you know how fickle the butler is when meat products are involved, I would investigate that route - pass me an 'Absinthe friend' is freezing up here.

[DaisyNonna]

Mamya, you have been sorely missed. I fear that there may be quite a few upset stomachs in the morning. Food and drink has been somewhat haphazard but we did try our best.

[Meg]

Welcome back Mamya, I have coped with Scottish half term,. Food and drinks rubbish without out you.

[DTCwordfan]

I'll roll another barrel of the absinthe tailcock in - should work well in the Roller too.
