Mad Over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now open.

Welcome everyone.

I am afraid that I have come down with the worst cold in the world today, so will be unlikely to make much of a contribution this evening. I'm sure that other members will all rally round in my time of need and keep up the club activities.

I would donate a half-empty box of tissues to the raffle, but I need them :-((

[ladyalex]

Lordalex has not succumbed to this dreadful lurgi and whilst I was indisposed has run amok in the garden. He has planted potatoes in the hanging baskets and petunias in the onion patch. The lawn looks like a tiger skin rug where he has run the mower over it and to the best of my knowledge he is still out there causing mayhem, shouting at the neighbours and occasionally waving at the traffic.
In these circumstances I am taking the approved medical treatment ....whisky with more whisky ...and retreating to bed.

If I manage to raise my head later I will look in again, meanwhile, good luck with the club and here's hoping he tires himself out soon.
Perhaps Mamya will be able to soothe him, she said forlornly......

[Mamyalynne]

Oh milady do put your feet up and rest, I shall bring you beef tea, its quitemiraculous for the lurgy.

I have brought a jar of pickled walnuts for the raffle.
