As the weather has been a little kinder to us of late, the clocks are due to change tonight and the Dark Blues have won the Boat Race, perhaps there is some truth to the rumour that Spring is on its way.
However, the nights are still a little nippy, so gather round our cosy hearth for another Club Night.
Drinks and nibbles will no doubt appear shortly and we can only hope that our trusty Matron will again excel herself with a new tailcock recipe. (Last week's amazing creation, the 'Lunar surprise@ lingers firmly in the memories and possibly also the livers of the members who attended last week.)
The raffle cupboard seems to be bare, so presumably all items were won last week...is this a record ?
Here are my donations for this week's raffle:
A packet of cheese and onion crisps . (Hardly flattened at all.)
A small tin of Mint Balls. (No, not Uncle Joe's, they're for the raffle)
A Fair Isle pattern mitt. (Right hand .)
Maidup, you are most welcome...perhaps we could share out the cake instead of raffling it ?
Lemon and lavender straight from the boil wash sounds delish.
the 'phant has been given 'family planning',so should be no probs on that score.I'm going to be presumchus re the cencus,that 1 doesn't need to filled in for here?
Welcome, Kleiber....have you documentary evidence of madness?
No? Well, we agree that evidence of an application to join is sufficient proof of madness to allow entry.
So, in short, you're in!
DT You sound like a very handy person to have in the club. We coudl do with a blue lamp to lend out to members to light their way home. Any other old tat you want to off load ?
that is some operation that you have been working on, mamyalynne.
If it is of the scale that you indicate, you maybe liable to various excise duties and certainly vat, as you refer too, or indeed Chief Inspector Otter or one of his colleagues may be around to see you this evening.
Thanks for accepting my application to join - could the sloe gin have anything to do with it??? As for mad, yes, totally barking! Anyone who lives up a mountain in west Wales with sheep, pigs, cats, dogs & chickens for company has to be crazy, n'est-ce pas?
