Flocky and I were due to meet earlier in the day but eventually it was late afternoon before we finally touched base. after sorting out a load of bits and pieces we retired to the pub for a beer and a packet of Peanuts or in my case, some nice Pork Scratchings (I must stop eating those!!)
After a couple of beers I disappeared off to the toilet and on my way back glanced at my watch. Noting the time I asked young Flocky what time he thought it was and he concurred with me (before I had seen my watch) that it was no later than 8:30 but probably more like 8 pm. Mmmmm. Well it was more like 10 pm and we still had a pint of beer to consume. Hence I arrived home at 10:45 without having had tea or supper and am now recounting this strange story.
Tomorrow is our Lodge meeting and so I am looking forward to that and the meal afterwards. It is nice to meet some of our Lodge members and catch up with what they have been up to. Unfortunately one of our members, now gting on for 93 is not so well. We hope that he will soon be back to his normal self but the news isn't great. He seconded me into the Lodge and so I have strong ties to him. We will find out a bit more tomorrow from his daughter, herself in her 70s.
