The mysterious cupcakes seemed rather (NOT SO mysteriously) gratefully received. They got the Kerr “burp” of approval anyways…
The gang have been out shopping today…minus Charles B, it seems. Jim and Gordy both bought variations of “brothel creepers” – no more to be said there! Lol Sarah said she bought THREE PAIRS – Cherisse bought two. Did Ged buy any? Not sure whether he was alluding to being of such ample foot, he…

There are some Grandslams left, of course…Swindon, Ardingly and Taunton next weekend, and Inverness and Dundee the following weekend…then off they go to Mexico, the USA and Canada. Exciting times ahead for the band. But…
