we decided that some of the rhythm section of the band should wear wigs today. today we chose three nice grey wigs. it was a hot plan. i don’t know how old ladies manage to wear their wigs and massive woolly coats in the middle of summer without passing out.
perhaps that’s why old ladies are usually so thin. it’s because of their live-in saunas.
the apples looked quite attractive in their soggy storage buckets:
at the church holiday club they projected a variety of signs on to the screen for the kids to say what they stood for (all were warning about danger ahead and the likely result of ignoring them).
one of the signs was a ‘slippery floor’. the compere asked “where will you see this type of sign” ? i was very disappointed that no-one shouted “the funkypancake blog”. oh well.
the main highlight of the holiday club is leaders getting a cream pie in the face or gunge on their head. this year there is a sheep theme so the gunge machine has turned in to a sheep dip dispenser.
when i arrived this morning Ken was perfecting its pouring action. the other photo shows it in operation.
this is one area where i have a sense of humour failure i’m afraid so i won’t dwell any longer …
here is craig the drummer as seen through his high-hat. craig arrived on an early flight from the US just in time to play this morning.
at one point this morning we had a keyboard with no stand or pedals, no power, no electric guitar player and an airbourne drummer. but it all came fine just before the kids arrived
there’s only one way (depending on your age group)
the people doing sound and vision things for the holiday club all sit in a row eagerly awaiting the arrival of the children.
tonight represents the beginning of the second phase of my two weeks holiday from work. this week we’ve got our church kids club. it’s already practically sold out and we’re expecting 250 kids each day i think ! it’s in a marquee on a school field. you may have seen the photos from last year.
jane is leading the music and i’m playing bass in the band in the mornings. afternoon is kezia/esther looking after for me.
here is the view of the stage with mike and music stands in a nice row. it didn’t look like that by the time we’d finished we’d finished with it.
those of a praying nature may wish to pray for nice weather, safety and the kids learning stuff whilst having fun etc.
