Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening to all or members.

I am delighted to be back after my unexpected but very pleasant stravaig to the East Neuk, a calm yet mysterious place full of artists and small people in wet suits.
I will, however, resist giving a talk on my experiences there.
Any other volunteers for tonight's entertainment should report to a Committee member at their convenience.

Prizes so far for tonight's raffle include :

four socks, two pink two blue

a roll of elastoplast

a tin of chopped tomatoes

and six safety pins


I should also say that, Hurricane Irene permitting, I am off to Massachusetts on Monday to see the son-and-heir (and the Kentucky fiddler). Lordalex and I will not be returning for 3 weeks, so I would be obliged if Mamyalynne or alexanderd or any other club stalwarts would fill the breach. I'll leave the keys in their usual place and look forward to regaling you all with tall tales of the goings on in the Wild West when we return.

[Mamyalynne]

Good evening Milady, a good time had by the sounds of it, will endeavour to take the helm with my trusty band of helpers (trusty is stretching it a bit, but am a kind soul)

For the wiffle:
Blue glass rolling pin
a sieve with holes
half box of radox.

This weeks guest tailcock is 'Cracked Pane' - don't ask !!

[ladyalex]

I am looking forward to sampling a Cracked Pane.

Thank you for lending a hand , yet again. What would we do without trusty retainers ?

A good time was indeed had in the East Neuk. It certainly did not involve wet suits as far as lordalex or I were concerned, but it was fun to watch the frozen few frolicking in the Forth.
Gosh, I can alliterate when I put my mind to it!

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no his Ludship would suffer chafing at the very least in a wet suit.

So the Kentucky plucker is still on the case eh? I have been well sidelined I fear, after all I did for him too.

[petal54]

glad to see you've returned safly,Milady,any room in your trunk,not been over the duck pond in a while

[Mamyalynne]

I sincerely hope the Hurricane does subside considerably, my nephew lives on Long Island.

[ladyalex]

Hello petals, glad to be back if only briefly.
Plenty of room inthe trunks , but I don't think the aircraft hold is heated...

Yes, Mamya, the Kentucky fiddler is still plucking away.
I'll remind the son-and-heir of you ministrations, but I suspect it's a case of 'out of sight, out of his mind'

[ladyalex]

I'm with you on the hurricane front, Mamya.
It's so difficult to know how bad things are/will be over
there.
Here's hoping it has all been a bit hyped up and that it will blow itself out.

[petal54]

very quiet on the western front this evening

[Lie-in King]

Good evening all - sorry, just a quickie to say I'll not be around tonight :-(

Very sorry, mamya ♥ x

The day has been a complete washout, I'm fed-up & I'm finally going to sit down with the crosswords.

Hope you all have a lovely evening - sink a barrel or two for me & I'll see you all tomorrow :-)

[ladyalex]

Calm and soothing, petal.

I think I would like to try one of Mamya's Cracked Panes now.
I wonder if we will ever dare ask her about them ???

[Rapunzel61]

Um....hello. New here - to the club anyway, but I'm only just 50 - can I join? I was going to offer a magnun of Bolinger Champagne, and a 1kg box of handmade Belgian chocolates, or a £100 voucher for M&S, or a portable DVD player, but instead you might like these, a pair of slippers, they are odd colours and sizes, both left feet, but there IS two of them...a box of out of date slug pellets and a coat-hanger with no hook.

[ladyalex]

Rapunzel , you are most welcome here...and you raffle prizes are very acceptable.

How do you manage to comb your hair, by the way ? Do you have help with it ?

[albaqwerty]

Good evening milady, matron and all:0

Excuse my tardiness, please, the lily-pads need re-arranging in the moat.

I hope you both have a safe trip,and the hurricane doesn't do any damage to human beings/


For the wiffle I can ofer a caramel wafer. Unopened for once.

[petal54]

the slippers will do fine here,welcome to the fold rapunsal

[ladyalex]

Hello , alba. How delightful to see you again. Thank you so much for the Caramel wafer....is it milk or one of those new-fangled plain ones ?

[albaqwerty]

Milk choccie milady.

Rapunzel, I like your style, I dance with 2 left feet so I hope I win then in the riffle.

Ooops, missed the King.
Hail and Farewell, Maj.
Sorry you've had a lousy day, hope things improve for you.

[Rapunzel61]

I had waist length hair cut when I started school, and haven't had it cut since, so after 45 years I can manage it on my own! I've had it so long for so long, it's just second nature, i don't find it a bother.

[petal54]
