The choir social was well attended and the singing was mostly excellent. I don't know what they call that game on the xbox 360', but at least I remembered the appliance, and it provided perfect background to our eating, drinking and talking.
Sorry it took me so long to fill you in on all the happenings. If you weren't there you totally missed out, on a whole smorgasbord (nice spread, Jenny) of tasty delights and a cornucopia of karaoke. Sorry about the big words, its going to be the last blog for a while, and to be honest I am still feeling the effects of whatever it was Ed put in his glass bath full of punch. There was enough to bath Ruby in, and he stood in the foyer making the glasses very full indeed ...Jenny let me help cut bread, so sorry if it was wonky/smaller than some one else's bit...
Bonus - every item on the sweet trolley was chocolatey! and I had about 5 things in the end ...
I do hope Jack got home OK, but after seeing him in action licking butter wrappers clean of butter, I wouldn't have taken him over the speed bumps in my car...
BEST PARTY QUOTES ...
"well, it's off the internet ... so ... you can blame the internet!"
"Lovely Spread Jenny!"
"He's not usually allowed to do that ..."
"I do feed him, honest!"
This Bog post has been approved by the management. It's their fault its so late.

Singing in The Street!
The events on stage at Sutton Poyntz Street Fayre over ran a bit, but Dorset for Singing kept the audience hanging on to their very last song, yes, we had them swaying and singing along. I was pleased to see the size of our crowd, it was much bigger one than the act before us, and I think that audience was largely made up of Dorset for Singing, waiting to squeeze on stage.
And squeeze we did, and sang our hearts out we also did, and though the wind started to blow and the bunting tugged at its trappings, we made a good sound and left our audience smiling. I think we might even gain some new blood too. I hope it's men.
Well done dear choir, I was so proud to see those happy faces out there, I am sure we were a fitting finale to the well organised day. We can now tick off out third concert of the summer term, and look forward to sand in our toes next Sunday during spirit of the sea. Remember too, not to turn up on Thursday, but you can turn up on the blog if you like, and I'll have a little treat for you, coz I love you so very much ...
Ed; Thanks for the lift down ... XXXXX

Trust me, it sounds lovely!
No Ed tonight, but a few questions to me about how I get anything done with all these children, well I am bit late today with the blog, so that will help explain that ...
Please meet near stage on Sunday just before 4-ish, ready to wow Sutton P with our voices. If you aren't sure where the main stage is I think its in the middle of the duck pond.
A HUGE thank you to Hannah for coping with us, I hope we didn't appear to stroppy, I think we are definitely used to dealing with Ed, and his gentle ways, and thought it was quite funny when we all gratefully sat ourselves down without being asked! Thanks to Michael for doing all the notices, and giving us some tips on speed dating ...
It was quite useful hearing some more vocal tricks and tips, and to have a break from our serious concert practice of the same old songs, and do you know, I do think that IMAGINE was starting to sound very lovely, and all that in half a session too!
Sorry about the snakes hannah ... i should have warned you that without Ed's hand signal to finish a word, the ss can hiss on for hours...
Love you D~F~S, see you in a muddy field on Sunday xxxx
