Being the 22nd Day of June, 2012 ...


Now, what can I write about the doings of this evening?
  • We were there; some people weren’t.
  • Everyone was breathing; (Oxygen is good for you!)
  • Brenda stuck her tongue out at Berry, our MC.
  • We discussed deodorants at some length.
  • It was claimed that Napoleon suffered with piles ...

Doesn't he look miserable?

It all became considerably better when we got down to the real business of making and sharing music ...

Angela speculated that this might be an American bluebird:



Nothing about trains, but here's Terry meeting Julie at sunset near Waterloo Station:

It was, indeed, a splendid evening.
Now, who was the MC?
I can't remember now!
Well done whoever it was, and many thanks to the company.
