Hi Guys
We had a mad guest night last night at XLR8. 30 turned up! We did it on a chocolate theme – by the end of the evening we were covered in the stuff. One particularly messy game entailed seeing which team could stick the most slices of chocolate spread covered toast on a bin-bag clad team-member in 4 minutes. Mmm...we should have put down more tarpaulin.
I took along the chocolate fountain (always a hit) and the boys especially made the most of the chocolaty opportunity – some were looking a little green by the end of the evening!
I did my famous ‘Gospel According To Chocolate’. Which goes something like this:
Why do some people drift along (Drifter bar) looking to the stars (Milky Way bar) full of promise (Turkish Delight). They need to come to the one who can give you the power to work, rest and play (Mars Bar), give yourself a break (Kit Kat), receive God’s Boost (Boost Bar) he wants you live on Quality Street – cheesy but always a laugh!
We hadn’t got the energy to tidy last night so went back this morning – the chocolate fountain had set solid and had to be chipped and melted clean. Hope I haven’t blocked the chapel kitchen ‘u-bend’.
We are really hoping for great weather next weekend so we can camp in the dry – I am totally in denial regarding the weather forecast – they can be wrong, right? Tell me they can be wrong and that the thunder storms will miss north Derbyshire’s Hope Valley???
We bought Teresa a new lap-top today the old one having finally gone ‘phut’ and died. I hated the thing, all clogged up and slow and always crashing. Arghh... don’t you just love IT? So here I am equally frustrated trying to get all the software that originally clogged up the old lap-top onto the new one – doomed! Just as well that I am madly in love with my Florence.
Health’s OK. Swallowing has its moments but is 100% better than the two weeks after radiotherapy. Still have a glandular infectiony thing going on but nothing too bad. Just got to wait now until the big scan on July 25th – get praying guys that nothing nasty turns up down below.
Well it’s still raining 12 hours after it started – beautiful July. Just off to light a fire, put on the lecky blanket and pour a scotch (medicinal purposes only).
God Bless everyone, be good and if you can’t be good be careful, and if you can’t be careful wear a large hat (for a disguise).
And remember, if you really must be bad it is always better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Luv ya & God Bless
Mad Dave. xxxxx

hey mad Dave - your old mate 'slightly saner john' here, I've never had a thing for choc fountains, all that dipping of small bits of fruit in a cascade of dubious chocolate. weather report for derbyshire here, just driving back along the derwent valley in some of the heaviest downpour this summer, you can tell summer in derbyshire - the rains warmer...
amanda and i had a week in cornwall last week, great weather and reminded me of how good it is to chuck yer stuff in the car and drive on holiday instead of micro packing for airplane travel. just had the maddest few days, a guy called big dave is staying at the bear, he's the worlds strongest man, pulled Concorde along the runway, buses, tanks, jet fighters etc. he's now doing an anti bullying roadshow that he takes around to schools, pulls a bus in the playground (not in the dating term!!) then speaks to 500 kids about his being bullied as a kid, how he found confidence and various morals on violence, bullying, knife crime etc. he invited me to attend an assembly this morning with the high sheriff of derbyshire, the criminal justice board etc and a mass of very impressed kids. the guy is like as wide as he's tall and looks like a brick......er toilet. Any one who is responsible for assemblies at schools let me know and i'll pass his details on, great anti bullying stuff. Check him out on youtube - Dave Gauder.
Anyway waffling - praying that the no trace is no trace is no trace is no trace......oh and by the way needed to top the drinks cabinet up again young redders.....like a chuffing fish, like a fish...
