Livin' On a Prayer in Osertheurfermuthfersley
by Carpe Diem!"Livin' on a Prayer",
hey we boogied 'til dawn,
donned in our garb,
not tattered or torn.
Yep, dressed to the nines,
to kill (some would say),
as "Build Me Up Buttercup"
ranted away.
The whiff of per-fume
was lofty indeed,
as wine bottles downed
really DID exceed
our hostel's friendly expectations,
causing wobbly limbs
(...and some flirtations).
So all-in-all
a beltin' 'do',
thanks Claudette,
Deka, Andy too.
And now we wend
our way once more,
with happy dreams
of friends....

ElElderflower"Sleep and detox", can't understand the need for any catch up🤔😉
DeDekaThoroughly enjoyed my Saturday bimble and the ball. Great to see everybody in their finery. Company was great and as for the evening's entertainment, I'm not quite sure where to start (or if it's best left undisturbed!) Thanks for organising such a fab event.
