Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Welcome once again to all members old and older.

The Committee have not met this week as we were inquorate.
Do not concern yourselves about this, though, dear members. A doctor was consulted and measures have been put in place.


For tonight's raffle , so far we have:

A Beano Annual 2007 (mostly intact )
Three cups, two saucers and five plates (nearly matching)
Four odd gloves (brown, green, black and tan)
A football with a very small hole

[ladyalex]

Come again ?

[Lie-in King]

I believe the time has arrived for me to divulge this week's Ode, as delivered to me earlier by our absent Bard-in-Residence...


In Absentia – the Bard’s away on a Saturday night date.


First dates aren’t always so sweet
The tensions of “how do you do?”
And “what do you like to eat?”
A tailcock to imbibe, four or two

Then after some AB chatter time it gets easier to talk,
Laughing and learning that little bit more
Nervously holding hands while you walk,
Around the Castle Moat, Croc at his door

Feeling romantic sparks as you share that look
Scared and nervous about the very first kiss,
Doesn’t matter whether you are ravenglass or Lady A, eighteen or fifty
Waiting for the pregnant pause; leaning in passionately for this,

There’s nothing more magical than the first one
LIK’s fireworks erupting above our hearts,
Pulling back to see her lovely nungate-like face
So happy for both of us to share this edgy start,

At the end of the date, when walking to the Castle door
Hoping and praying for just one more,
A goodnight sloopy kiss and a warm embrace
Sends the Bard to his stable home with a reddened glow on his face

DTC

[sackville]

And it was incredibly nice of you to offer. Another one of those Glitzy things would be lovely Your Maj.

[ladyalex]

DT has brought a tear to my eye again...my hankie is sodden...

Time for another bucket of Glitz I feel.

[Lie-in King]

Certainly miss - a fresh flagon with extra Glitz

[Lie-in King]

Your bucket, m'lady - may I take this opportunity to remind you to buy your winning rofl tickets early?

[polar-bear]

Evening All,

Hope you are all well. For the roffle I have a dead laptop; It might make a good doorstop

[Lie-in King]

A very good evening to you, miss bear. We have not seen you for a while - I trust that you are well?

Your flagon, miss...

[Jumbo747]

Good evening m'lady, mamya, lik and all................sorry but I can't stay long; I'm away in Leicestershire nursing my dear 95yr-old mum who can't be relied upon much nowadays (in many departments! - don't ask).
But Your Felineship, i would welcome a very large flagon of Glitz to drown my sorrows and help with the (unmentionable) chores.

[ladyalex]

Hello PB. Lovely to see you again. Been up North ? or down South ?

Thank you for the reminder, LiK. I have my tickets safely tucked ....away...
Thanks for the bucket too. This Glitz is delightful.

[Lie-in King]

Good evening, miss Jumbo - a swift flagon or three should help...

[ladyalex]

Hello Jumbo..nice of you to pop in despite being busy.
I think you will find the Glitz quite comforting.

[polar-bear]

Hello Puss, I am quite well thanks. I am fed up with all the rain.

[Mamyalynne]

So sorry, pottered out to the Conservatory for a sneaky puff and got busy dead heading lol

Welcome to friends old and new.

[Lie-in King]

"Puss", miss?

(Wanders off muttering)

[DaisyNonna]

Evening friends. Started to rain again here. Fear my broomstick needs a good shake but please don't put him too close to the fire, he singes easily but loves to watch the flames.
For the rifle I have one red and blue beach ball. Inflated.
a string of onions
a serbo-croat dictionary (few red wine stains)
a red basque

[ladyalex]

You know you're a pussycat really, LiK....

[Mamyalynne]

Red wine stains on a dictionary?? tut tut

[Jumbo747]

Thank you for the 3 flagons, LiK, they certainly are warming the cockles........
And please don't mutter (can't you tell talk from mutter?) - I'll have to find a new battery for my hearing-aid.
