Good evening and welcome to the Summer Solstice meeting of Mad Over Fifties.
First, my apologies for my absence last week owing to a migraine I was incapacitated. Also I'd like to give my thanks to Mrs Overall for providing a welcome alternative for members of MOFC and for welcoming the only slightly insane members of AB. (something has to be done for these poor souls)
Well, tonight at the Towers it's a case of anything goes! The mixologist has brewed up a vat full of Tailcock, he has decided to call it the "let's ignore the World Cup" so everybody roll up and fill your buckets. Igor is not at the door waiting for our guests this week, he his currently leading the ceremonies at the Summer Solstice gathering down by the lake so if anyone wants their coats, cloaks or broomsticks hidden they will have to do the hiding themselves!
In view of the solemnity of the lakeside proceedings, we ask members to refrain from peeking out of the windows on the lake side of the Towers and also not to venture lake wards tonight. Thank you.
There will be a running buffet tonight so anyone who can catch it please feel free to help themselves.
For anyone wishing to dance the night away, we have engaged the services of the Elastic Band, another local group of musicians who have agreed to stand in for the Tone Deafs who are providing music down at the lake...
As always we have the usual facilities for our members, the indoor pool, the beach, the gym etc., new members who are not aware of the facilities we have on offer can pick up a brochure in the vestibule where they will find a list of the facilities we offer at the Towers.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
dozen plastic plant pots, (empty)
1 Bosch washer dryer (goosed - but people keep knocking at my door asking what I'm going to do with it! ? It's waiting for a council pick up for heavens sake! Do they think I do laundry in the front yard?)
2 Freezers both defunct (that was a bad week!)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals this evening.
Members are again reminded to show respect and avoid the Lake
go ahead Daisy, you've earned it! Might indulge myself, oh and try the little sausages on sticks Queenie made them, they're a speciality of hers - dine in soy sauce, sesame oil and honey!
Will be away next weekend though may try to scry late on.
Daughter, Gdaughter and Gson all dancing in a show next weekend. Robin Hood. Don't know details as they like to surprise me but I do know that Gson is the Sherriff of Nottingham. He (Gson) specialises in Street Dancing.
Should be fun. D busy altering costumes. Too talented by half.
Sounds good, I hope it wont be too warm an evening then, otherwise the
theatre might get unbearably hot and uncomfy (remembering some of the evenings I spend watching Queenie in dance shows or end of term plays - they were always warm evenings
That's why I dress in layers, nun. Always take a small bottle of water with me. There is an opportunity for the loo and a breath of air outside in the intermission. Looking out across a valley is rather nice. No buildings, just countryside.
Layers the answer to many prayers, it's also good to take advantage of loos
whenever possible I've always found, and if it gets your a break where you can just gaze at the scenery so much the better
How it going? I've been meaning to ask but didn't want to get into personal stuff on here. I haven't anything on a frame at the moment but I have my eye on a chart in one of the recent magazines - another seaside thing with more beach huts!
night Daisy, will look forward to it. Ready to hit the hay myself, soon as Mr. N finishes his night time chores - rounding up the kitties and getting them settled for the night - we need a sheep dog to round the little beggars up!
Goodnight Daisy.
