Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening all on another rather chilly night.

Do come in and make yourselves comfortable here in front of the fire in the Great Hall whilst we await the usual sumptuous array of drinks and nibbles.

Sadly, lordalex cannot be with us this evening as he is tied up.
I did warn him about trying macrame again, but he's a game old bird and insisted on giving it another go.
Uncle Joe is assisting with the big scissors but it looks as though they will be at it for some hours yet.

For tonight's raffle, so far I have

A small ball of macrame twine
A bag of barley sugars
A set of binoculars...one lens gone wonky.

[ladyalex]

Have an ABsinthe Friends* Meg. It will take the bad pictures away.

[DTCwordfan]

Seam? Whose seams are splitting?

An Absinthe a day keeps the dentist away.

[DaisyNonna]

What is? I thought a mess was where soldiers ate. Unfortunately no sign of them. Or the firemen. Couldn't we have a teensy weensy blaze?

[DTCwordfan]

Oh fire extinguishers needed, we have a pyro amongst us.....where are they - or the moat pump....

[ladyalex]

You started it, DT. A mess, you said.

I think an Absinthe a day would keep more than the dentist away.....all those green fairies would be off-putting to a lot of people.

[ladyalex]

Daisy, don't you remember...we're on our last warning still. It doesn't run out until the summer.

[Meg]

I've put a match to the pile of rubbish behind the orangey

[ladyalex]

Behind the orangey what, MM ?

[alexanderd]

noy the orangey cushion I hope or we will lose the chaise-longue

[ladyalex]

Come back, Miss Meg. We have to know.

[annadomino]

I rescued the orangery :)

[Meg]

Welll fire bobbies are a treat for me, will pick the fittest and hopefully I'll be absent again next week. Not looking good, have you seen the state of them?

[ladyalex]

I am eternally grateful, Anno.
We really must get a sprinkler system fitted.

It will soon be time to pull the raffle. Please ensure that you all have your tickets at the ready.

[ladyalex]

Anno extinguished the fire, Miss Meg. We don't need the firies.

[alexanderd]

Oh Goody I am all of a quiver, as i only have one good eye the binoculars could come in handy

[DTCwordfan]

sorry missing cat here, yes a cat, but when you have an Alzheimer's mother, they don't remember that cats are nocturnal....

visits may be a little sporadic... open flagons therefore....

[DaisyNonna]

An absinthe a day keeps the artists away. Thank goodness. Can do without poseurs.

[DTCwordfan]

and its not the Butler either....

[ladyalex]

THe winning number in tonight's raffle is:


Cerise
