SONAR-BENDER
War Hero
Just back from setting up for our Pickle Night tonight. The venue looks really good - decked out in red, white and blue, with ensigns and flags etc, even a couple of huge lanterns with candles in. We have a small but perfectly formed RNA and shall have about 18 or 20 bums on seats later on.
It is so warm that I have had to relax the rig to include the option of shorts if so wished!
We are doing it the 'proper' way with one bowl and one spoon for each guest, using lovely fresh bread to clean out the bowl after each course, ready for the next course! Veg soup, beer and beef stew and apple crumble and custard - yummy! Did I mention the rum? And the Cava? Top tip, DO NOT make a rum and cava cocktail. I did this last year and lost several hours - came too half-way through my speech!
Even found the time to write down the words to several sea-shanties for the communal singing later on!!
Standy by for piccies tomorrow once the brain starts to function again!
