Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open


Hello, good evening and welcome to all our members.

(Hasn't David Frost been putting himself about on TV lately ?)

Do draw up to the fire and get cosy for tonight's club.

After the great success of the talk 'Knitting patterns through the ages', the Committee tried to engage the same speaker to give the companion talk 'Crotchet patterns I have loved ' but sadly, she said that she was tied up. So, unless any members feel they can step into the breach, I am afraid we will have to forgo our talk tonight.

For the raffle so far I have

A bottle of Sanatogen
Six oranges
Two tubes of Polo mints
and three knitting needles sizes 10, 8 and 7.

For the rofl

5 birthday candles
Indoor sparklers
cake board
bag of cake crumbs.

Hello Mamyalynne.

A moondrop sounds most acceptable and very appropriate.

I could do with a cake board.
Have you been baking ? or just cutting ?

[Mamyalynne]

A little of both and a bit of stirring too.

[ladyalex]

I like stirring too, Mamya...

[Lie-in King]

1/2 packet of ginger nuts
57 page instruction manual for a telephone
A telephone

I shall begin serving Moondrops & hiding coats etc as the need arises...

[ladyalex]

Hello , Maj. How's your mane this week ?
A large Moondrops would be quite perfect about now.

Don't think I want the phone or the phone manual, but maybe the ginger nuts ....

[Mamyalynne]

Evening Maj , ooh a new phone, but rubbish with destructions.

[Lie-in King]

Ah m'lady, I see the need has arisen - your Moondrop

Thank you for the Moondrop...I must say it is delicious. Mamya has surpassed herself yet again.

Good evening, sir - a large Moondrop perhaps?

M'lady, I am given to understand that Matron has spent all week perfecting the recipe, drinking each batch herself until achieving the desired result

Hello DT.

Do you have red hair ?

Thank you so much for the wonderful array of raffle prizes.

[ladyalex]

Thank you , Maj.


I think Matron does very well with the drinks.

[DTCwordfan]

Even after the AB evening closed her eyes 

Our Mamya could crochet. 

Her hands would walk the rows of Starbuck wool 

turning, bending, to a woollen Lie-In music.


The Nungate dye lots were registered in memory: 

LadyA-skin, B00 chocolate cakes, polar pan, 

the stitches remembered like faded Rowan rhymes: 

Sloopystich, Nonnaflower, Sir Alec's stitch, a Slinkykate.


Tied to our AB lives those past years 

by merely a soft colored Mamya yarn, 

she’d sit for hours, her rosy lips 

moving as if reciting Apotheosic prayers, 

coaching the blighted Clubbers hands.

[Mamyalynne]

I truly believe you cannot serve anything you have not tried yourself - Hic!!

[ladyalex]

brings a tear to the eye, DT.

I'm with you on the drinks front, Mamya.
Keep testing until it's just right.

[flicrat]

How about a talk on animals in the classroom? (No, NOT the children!) I had three hamsters, a gerbil and two guinea pigs in the room at one time in the '80s. ( Now you know why no children - no room!!) I could keep it as clean as the cages.....!

[flicrat]

PS Forgot to say, have bale of straw and a bag of sunflower seeds for the raffle. (Now surplus to requirements)

[ladyalex]

A talk on animals would be fine, flicrat. Wait a wee while until the place has filled up a bit, then the stage is yours...if you think you're hard enough.

[ladyalex]

Wouldn't mind the sunflower seeds.....
