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 .)
baby binder, from the olden days. a piece of cotton/muslin wrapped around newborn baby i believe to protect the umbilicus, used i believe until the cord had fallen off.
I think I have a memory of someone talking of this baby binder thingy.
Do I vaguely recall a halfpenny being put over the belly-button to stop it from becoming an 'outie' ?
No. I don't think it can be to do with volume because I played it earlier and it was quite loud. I suppose it could be a small novel if he was italian.
Late again. It's all the fault of this clocky thing. I've just been round the house and changed them all. In fact I have for the ruffly one slightly damaged clock dropped behind the television while trying to put it back on the wall (the clock silly, not the television). I'll vote for anyone who promises to stop mucking about with time.
