Eggbod did an ace post on Mock the Week...

*thumbs up my lovely*

Russell Howard's sketch though brought back memories of two weeks ago...

Sinister and her cousin had snuck up into the woods behind where we were staying and despite several 'phone calls would not come in. It was nearly midnight so my cousin and I went to find them (that's when we saw the deer thundering across our path)...

We got downwind of Lola-the-Westie, and hid behind a tree when the girls were within earshot... then as they passed us in the total darkness we pounced...

'ROAR !!!'

I was hoping for a total freakout...

What we got was a nanosecond of freakout (far less time than it took to say 'boo ' to a goose), and while my heart lost the adrenaline and the will to live, I watched two teens ~~clopping~~ wending their way homeward, one of them glancing over her shoulder to say...

'Mum... just grow up will you ?'

Bah !

Foiled again !...

:yes:

We also sang Joshua; Lean on Me; Fields of Gold; Bad Moon Rising; How Can I keep from Singing ? and California Dreaming

Then we trekked down to St Mary's to ~~have a fag~~ sing Hallelujas of the Leonard Cohen variety and scarf pasties on the back pews (altos get away with this sort of thing)...

It's not The Messiah, but quaffable enough stuff for a rainy afternoon in Chester...

The heavens opened just as we set sail for home, coinciding nicely with chucking-out time for the black-suited and trainer-booted from the Chester races, the mightily cross (when aren't they ?) Orange-Lodge marchers from Liverpool and damp revellers from the damp Wirral Show...

Which was nice !... :))
