Moy's Birthday Bash














































It was a great evening with the star looking spectacular in black and red witha red chapeau and ostrich feather perched jauntily on mass of curls. All guests dressed for the occasion.

Unfortunately the star of the show does not appear here due to technical problems (I dropped my camera). Hopefully this can be rectified.

Happy 70th Birthday to Moy

Ros has turned the Book Group's halting rhymes into a great little poem, entitled:

IRREPRESSIBLE

Moy, you are arty,
Life of the party.
We’re dressing up tarty
For your food that is hearty.

You’re a bloody great cook;
We should write a book.
May you never get crook
In your Long Jetty nook.

How long have you been
On our lit’rary scene?
At our book group so keen
And so frequently seen.

Together we’ve shared,
Our souls we have bared,
Books, we’ve declared,
For each other we’ve cared.

Together we pen,
So, women and men,
On her three score and ten
Le’s drink to our fren’.

The Book Group
September 6 2008

November book
Margaret has recommended The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Scheiffer. This proposal will be confirmed at the next meeting, but looks like its worth reading anyway. Available at independent bookstores if not at the big chains. Reviewed in last Saturday's SMH.

October book
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie was recently selected as the Booker of Bookers, so the group thinks it is worth discussing. Venue will be Sue E's place.

September book
A Household Guide to Dying by Deborah Adelaide is the next book, and the meeting will be held at Stella's place.

August Book
We talked about Secrets of the Sea by Nicholas Shakespeare. Set in Tasmania, the novel received a lukewarm reception from the group. Interesting discussion though.

July Book
This was Hoi Polloi a memoir by Craig Sherbourne.
