Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

Good Evening, all, the Club is now open.

Tailcocks and nibbles will no doubt be arriving soon.

As Easter approaches, our talk this evening will be on "Eggs ?"

Madame Esmeralda has returned this week . She had to cancel her engagement in Ecclefechan due to unforeseen circumstances, so will be setting up her tent in the outer courtyard.
Members are asked to reward her as they see fit. She says that the fees go to charity.

[boxtops]

Esmeralda is using her sundial. Someone should tell that it reads wrong by candlelight.

[Mamyalynne]

3.30 already where does the time go, must put the cabbage on for monday!

Ah moles not holes now that makes sense will get the shotgun out!!

Glad you like the creme de menthols

[boxtops]

is the shotgun one of the raffle prizes?

[ladyalex]

Please don't talk about shotguns....he's listening, you know....I'm sinking even more now......

[Meg]

Why is George hopping about wearing what appears to be a deck chair?

[boxtops]

This is not like you, ladyalex, you are usually on the ball and in control. Have you not stravaiged this week? If not, perhaps you need a laxative (pardon me for being so bold).

[boxtops]

It's the new fashion, meg, kangakaftans.

[ladyalex]

Are you suggesting that I may be costive, Boxtops ?

I will try to take that query in the spirit that I hope it was offered.

[boxtops]

Milady, only because it can dull the mind and make one feel like, well, sluggish..... If your slugs are not ished, then I will reserve my judgement! perhaps you are just feeling the effects of Spring.

[Meg]

Boxtops is putting suggestions in the tailcocks? Bit like fortune cookies, what a smashing idea!!!

[ladyalex]

I have no slugs to ish, boxtops, but I am warming to the idea of fortune cookies.
Can we involve Madame Esmeralda ?
Has anyone seen her cat lately, by the way ?

[Mamyalynne]

Would milady like a senna special it may help flush the system and liven you

[boxtops]

O lord I didn't know she had a cat, it was in the pocket of George's kangakaftan earlier, it looked OK if a bit stunned.

[ladyalex]

I think I will give the senna special a bodyswerve, Mamya.
I believe I tried it once before when there was a paper shorrtage...I'll draw a veil.

Those funnelled in tailcocks have done me a power of good.
I'm sure I heard Madame Esmeralda calling for her cat earlier. If it's in George's pocket, there's no knowing when she'll get it back. Poor Charity.

[Meg]

I thought it was Alfie in the kangakaftan pocket, bit funny looking for a cat. Mind you, she is a medium.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no Alfie is fine and cosy in my pinny pocket, he likes the warm smell of the sugary doughnuts.

Shall I prepare some fortune cookies then?

[boxtops]

Can I help, miss meg? I have found a jar of scotch bonnet chillies, that could be good for a laugh. Fortune - haaarrrr!

[boxtops]

^ oops sorry I should have addressed that to mamya, it's so dark tonight, my head was in the wrong direction.

[Meg]

Please Mamya, they will be a pleasant change from hattered baddock.

[Mamyalynne]

scotch bonnets in the cookies thats wicked and will certainly prevent any costiveness!!

I have brought two donkey stones and a packet of lettuce seeds for the raffle
