Good evening and welcome to tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
At the moment Nungate Towers are bathed in evening sunlight, which is reflected on the waters of the lake (which resembles a mill pond) The rowing boats are ready and waiting for members to arrive and perhaps take them out for a trip across to the island in the middle. Tonight's tailcock will be the Nonesuch, (there's never been anything like this before!) The "hot plate special" is my very own recipe for meatloaf accompanied with all the usual side dishes or salad! As for the pudding trolley, it is awash with delicious ice cream sundaes, all you have to do is choose your favourite. Of course we have, as always, a selection of canopies and volley vonts. The Minstrels are tuning up in the gallery ready to assail us with the usual selection of Madrigals and fugues, also playing in the ballroom will be our favourite local band the Tone Deafs with a selection of '60's covers! Such fun! The hot tub is bubbling away madly on the north tower, (naturally the mini bar has been replenished - well done Frank) the bungee is ready for bouncing, the gardens are looking splendid and it is a lovely evening for a stroll) The rowing boats are lined up and ready for use, as are the cars on the race track, anyone wishing to go for a swim both pools are fully set up (cossies are available)
For tonight's rofl I have : 6 rolls of tinsel
2 tons of snow
Sundry carrots (limp)
Bucket of coal lumps
Dozen Christmas crackers (6 used)
3 Barrels of Eggnog
Truly a fine pile of goodies tonight!
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
As long as they can cross a bridge, they can come over at Istanbul then leg it through Syria, Israel, down to Egypt via the Sinai and take the M1 through the Sudan and onto Kenya, not forgetting to turn right at the Lion & Leopard and head across to Lake Tanganyika, Rwanda, Tanzania and down on through Zam and Zim before turning into South Africa and cutting across at Pretoria and South. Should be there in six months if not taken hostage en route.
Very partial to Black Forest Gateau myself, come to think of it there's one in my freezer - must send Queenie to take it out tomorrow we'll have it at dinner tomorrow!
I have a nice bit of brisket out there but it's maybe a bit warm for a pot roast!
I have a list of what's out there I can't remember where I put it .... If I ask Queenie to go and make me another list, the solids will really hit the fan!
Ladies and gents, I can't keep awake.
I shall bid you adieu and thank Nungate for her hospitality.
With your permission I shall take the Pink Bedroom and perhaps see you at breakfast. Too tired to wait for midnight carriage x x
