Mad Over 50's Club now open

[Mamyalynne]

Good evening all.

Once more myself and my trusty Butler are in charge tonight.

Milady apologises, but an urgent Stravaige came available and she was unable to decline (most unlike her as declining is her best party trick).

TTFN is you guessed it Rusticating once more - however has been decent enough to send us a pretty postcard........

Dear All,

Having a great time Rusting here, the views across the fields are delightful and the sound of birdsong fills the air. I would of course much prefer to be with you all in the great hall supping tailcocks and listening to the howls from the bewildered next door!
Yeah right I would, bye for now be good.

TTFN ♥

Right, that is absentees sorted out.

All nibbles etc are as usual on the long table in the lesser shorter gallery, I have excelled myself with some mini steak and ale pies, which go down a treat with this weeks guest tailcock - Howfen Hoof, a local speciality which packs a punch in a very subtle manner.

For the wiffle I have :

6 pink hair curlers.
Half a bottle of Syrup of Figs.
Wooden spoon (only slightly cracked)
3 Corn plasters.

So welcome members old and new, let the jollity commence.

Mamya ♥

Got in quick Mamy and may vanish just as quickly as Internet has been on and off all day with the weather. Rain, thunder and lightning all day. Any way for the ruffle I have
a bath plug(rubber)
a tube of steredant tablets
and a slightly used scrubbing brush
Will have a Howfen hoof if you dont mind

[Mamyalynne]

Coming right up Alex, do hope you can stay connected as well as possible.

[slinky.kate]

[alexanderd]

Hello Kate come in and get yourself dry, Matron has got the aga going so pull up a chair and have a tailcock

[Mamyalynne]

Help yourself to the pies, careful they are hot straight from the Aga.

Kate ah you have heard the Howfen legend then, as you know my recipes are never revealed.

[slinky.kate]

i hope i win the syrup of figs,i love the taste but not the results

[alexanderd]

You know better than to ask what Matron puts in her tailcocks, better not to know

[slinky.kate]

thank you alexandered ,how kind of you,i will be fine once i get dried out,hmmm. these howfen hoofs are nice.

[Mamyalynne]

Sit by the Aga as Alex says.

Now where is that furry Butler, I thought the whole point was to help me in my duties .... mutter, mutter.

[alexanderd]

Do you need to remove any clothes to dry them off Kate, the butler should be around somewhere to assist. I am sure I saw him sneaking in the shrubbery earlier

[boxtops]

evening all - the butler said earlier today that he was having something called broadband trouble, I am sure he will get here if he can. Do you think it's related to waistband?

[Mamyalynne]

excuses excuses, as soon as we open he does a bunk - likely story. He will be at the local Inn with an eye for the wench behind the bar no doubt.

[alexanderd]

Hi Boxtops he has probably been having the same trouble as me, but I am sure we will cope

[Lie-in King]

Phew! Apologies for tardiness, couldn't get the smile to stay in place...

Good evening everyone!

Trifle prizes -
BT Home Hub (slightly dented from being dropped against the wall a few times)
Monocle for a left-handed person
Tin of WD-40 with a stuck lid

May I first partake of an unfeasibly large one, mamya, then I'll be ready to assist where I'm needed...

[alexanderd]

Oops he is here, stop talking about him

[Mamyalynne]

Certainly Maj, do straighten your uniform first though.

[polar-bear]

Evening all, hope you are all well. For the raffle I have the remains of a plum crumble. It has been a lovely day here and I am just off to water the tomatoes.
