yay for church sales
seriously yay. a church seems to be the ecact kind of setting for a little second hand/coffee and cake sale and oops it sort of reminds me jesus got upset about that once.
howevergirlfiend scored about six books, i got three, and we got our fille of scones, little sandwiches and fruit cake (the english type, soaked in something strong)
but the setting was the best. typical anglican wood and whitewash with a few touches of golden, with the pews all moved to provide a central café area, and various pew-cordoned off areas to the sides, by subject: clothes, books, the rest.
bought a biography of william shatner bio for mother's day. that is sorted.
not looking forward to tonight's charioty evening. you would think a band called the popops would not need charity with the wealth of implications and double entendres possible, but they do (costumes are expensive, and tripping over your own trousers drunk or falling asleep in the gutter drunk or drunkenly brawling with neighbouring guggens puts a lot of wear and tear on them)
the gold frogging just about visible on the sleeve cuff is rather indicative of the whole style of the thing, really - also, a female to male ration of 1.
so because the first year was a success with it's chinese fondue a gogo formula
it was scrapped the second year in favour of a bar and music evening with two other guggens, which failed rather terribly and left our friends the popops in the red for new duds. so it only follows logic that they should try again something new this year, possibly something cheap and nasty and plentiful, hence the pasta festival
the pastafest is getting to be a staple of the rural bashes, since all you need is to boils copious amount of water in wich to throw as much cheap-o pasta as you can, and 5 litre army grade pasta sauces in the usual five falvours (tomato, pesto, carbonara, unnamed cheese and curry) and throw the lot at the waiting public. there is a dessert buffet though, but if you've relosved to do the least possible in a pastafest, it is not usually because you've decided to outdo yourself on desserts. i am just saying.
i will probably leave early, after the music.
