Today's topic was "Flour Power"; a
play on the nineteen sixties “Flower power” phenomenon. As usual we all
explored it in different ways.
Diana went for a poem which spoke of the way
children can both, enjoy, explore and learn through simple cooking; whilst Pete
tried a slapstick flour-spilling romance.
Joan Fr told of a Malteser-thieving frustrated
potato scone maker and Elizabeth
relived the grandparents’ doubtful pleasure of clearing up after the toddlers
unsupervised dough making disaster.
Kate warned of the power and stubbornness of
flour mites when they come to visit. Hilary became poetic about the texture of
dough and the tactile and emotional feelings experienced whilst mixing and
manipulating it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kathleen departed from her usual role and gave
us a murder mystery, Pete had a rant about boy road racers and Joan Fr read a
story with an embedded poem as a tribute to a departed best friend.
Similarly, Diana had produced a poem dedicated
to a friend who was loved by all around her.
Hilary told us of a lyrical but doomed romantic
evening involving a Casanova young taxi driver and his much older eventual
passenger. She enjoyed the banter, but just wanted to get home and slip her
feet into something more comfortable.
It had been a full and interesting session up to
this point; unfortunately, Pete committed the cardinal sin of reading a repeat piece.
He had forgotten that we had already heard it only a few weeks previously.
Appropriately, it was entitled "My Memory".
Pete was late getting home; he had also
forgotten where he had parked his car.
