Being Friday the 26th of October, 2012 ...

There was definitely an autumnal chill in the air, but that didn’t deter eighteen bodies and a stuffed penguin of indeterminate gender from turning out to share music.

Berry was in the chair.
Assisted by Ken, he kicked off with two songs about dancing. The segue to Ken was almost seamless, but there was no physical gyration.

We then spent some time deliberating about the meaning of that term, ‘segue’. We concluded that it is not a dance move.

 

John, a welcome visitor from Leicestershire, after some difficulty with his SatNav, eventually managed to find us.

He brought along, and played, this very beautiful instrument …

Some musical offerings related to ghosts and voices from the after-life ...

 

It is nearly that season
of the year, after all.

 

Here are some other pictorial clues …

Are there really no
telephones in Heaven?
Will any of us ever find out?

Now, let’s talk about those sponsored requests for Children in Need…

What generous people you are!

You have already generated £65.00 in cash towards this enterprise, and I have several promissory notes. (Dogsbody knows who you are!) 

Most people have got the idea of how this works.

The deadline for making requests has to be at our meeting on 9^th November so that performers will have at least a few days to prepare.

Finally ...
Please remember that we won't be there next Friday, 2nd November.

 

Today's Mail ...

Look what I received in the post today ...

Being Friday the 19th of October, 2012 ...

Well, blogspot is once again being uncooperative about uploading images.
Have we exceeded our quota?
This is terribly disappointing since I was hoping to share a wonderful facsimile of a monstrous marine being with huge organs.
Now you'll just have to use your imaginations.

Such difficulties render this chronicle even more nonsensical than it has already become since we stopped publishing explicit song lists.

Oh!
It's working now. Here's Roland's home-brew ...





... and better than one pint, I likes two!

Let's try another image ...

Cancellation: 2nd. November ...

Intelligence has just been shared that the Guide Hall will not be available to us on Friday, 2^nd November because the hall will be occupied by Guides.

Therefore, our gathering will not be celebrating the traditional Catholic feast of ...

The Day of the Dead.

Perhaps that's
a good thing?
