Saturday night (not at the movies)

And so to Edenbridge in rainy Kent for the annual Matra (see my Matra link on the right) Xmas dinner. Old friends and new. Drinking to be done.

President Clive with his favourite phrase (something to follow Dogs, there are 2 of them on half the population and they dangle) led the rowdy table to declare themselves all family i.e. same surname. So name badges were recast much to the disgust of anyone not on our table. Bald, Hairy, Dogs, Gobble (Greedily), Cold, Little Boys and several other friends helped make a riotous evening (Mark, Zak, Roger, Lin aka Mabel, Olga and Tim) and a wonderful overnight at Shoscombe B&B with Valerie and Brian.

Note to self - drink less next time. That or get an early night. Adjourning from the pub at midnight makes Jack a tired lad.
