Mad Over Fifties Club
96 Answers
Welcome to tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club. Tonight we are having a (slightly late) Halloween Party. Our resident mixologist has brewed a Tailcock especially for tonight's meeting "the Vampire Breath" guaranteed to pop the pennies from the eyes of the dead! Truly a potent brew!! Our Hot Plate Special is Halloween Hash, in addition we have a delicious selection of horses doovers, volley vonts and canopies, and owing to a plentiful harvest, we have Apple pie, Apple Brown Betty, Apple Crumble and Toffee Apples on the pudding trolley!! All of the apples are from our own orchards of course.
As a special treat, tonight we have once again engaged the services of the Crypt Kicker Five, direct from their tour of Transylvania and Croydon. Of course the Minstrels are again back in the gallery with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues. Igor has found some delicate chains to decorate his walking plaster and crutches (let's hope he does not fall over them..again!) The Towers ghost, Sir Cumference has promised to come and "haunt" our revelries, and Horace has agreed to leave his nice damp dungeon to come and join in the proceedings. Our local Coven has agreed to come and dance around a bonfire and the head of the coven, Madame Spellman will be holding a spelling bee in the conservatory (please note, to take care not to disturb the triffid or the upset the spider monkey, though visitors are permitted to help themselves to the bananas).
For those of you arriving by broom, we are delighted to announce that there will be a small party in the small saloon on the first floor of the west tower. Dooking for apples has been arranged as has an eating treacle scones competition. The hot tub and bungee are available for members and use of the indoor pool is also there for members, (cossies are provided)
For the rofl tonight:
one Halloween mask
bowl of Halloween candies (two left)
one witches cauldron (in need of scouring)
set of vampire fangs

mmm, interesting Daisy, I may look out for that Daisy. I haven't really got anything on the go at the moment, still meaning to download the books I have samples of onto my kindle and there's a pile still waiting for my attention. It just seems that all my get up and go has left the building recently and I just can't get myself motivated to do anything much at all.
Not sure what is going on, I always seem to be feeling sleepy, though I only sleep when I go to bed

Know what you mean. Not exactly jumping about with excitement myself.
Managed to wrench open a sticking door without moving my foot in time. No shoes on. The door is as well as could be expected. Foot varying shades of blue, purple and black.
Love my Kindle but sometimes need to hold onto and smell a real book.

I keep dropping books. Same with newspapers and magazines, I bought a nice little glass computer table a couple of years ago which I use to read books and papers etc. as well as for my laptop, (I have even been know to put a tablemat on it to dine when I am alone - a very useful little table all in all) Though I get where you are coming from about the feel and smell of a book (especially a nice new one)
