Here we are again, another meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club! Welcome to Nungate Towers, one and all.
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "November Noggin" a lovely spicy brew - guaranteed "central heating" for this cold damp evening! On our menu tonight we have a rich hearty beef casserole with dumplings, as our hot plate special, on the pudding trolley we have plum duff and custard! Other treats for tonight are volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Up in the gallery the Minstrels are currently playing pontoon but later on they will be regaling us with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues, down in the ballroom our favourite local band The Tone Deafs have joined with the Hotel Spendido Palm Court Orchestra to form a "supergroup" and they will be swinging along to the popular tunes from the "Swing" era! (pass me my bobby socks!) Meanwhile down in the Music room we have a special treat, the return of Flamenco Flo and her performing poodles!
Everybody dance now!!!
For the rofl tonight I have to offer:
set of broken lute strings (courtesy of the Minstrels)
1 cardboard box (empty but useful)
Spare set of chains (thank you Igor)
just earrings and wedding ring these days unless I'm going somewhere special. Can't get most of my rings over the arthritic fingers these days, and it's easier just to stick some earrings on. Gong down the "less is more" route (and if you believe that you can knit fog!!)
Wedding ring has been sized up twice! I was wearing it on a chain for a while.
I've also been very naughty, just ordered another skin care pack from QVC
that's two - well it was a good deal and it's not as if the stuff will go to waste! Mr N is fine about it - might be different when the real Mr N. turns up!
