Well well well, what a lovely time was had be all at THE GOLDEN LION.
It was so beautiful, Betty went all Sandie Shaw on us.
Miggle was to be seen jumping for joy.
Alex was noted to have RAISED AN EYEBROW
Jerry put a MAGICAL NEW ILLUSTRATION in his BOOK OF WORDS.
Badger did more IRISH DANCING

Good morning.
I am Betty. But you may call me Betty. I play violin for my friends. Sometimes I SHOUT AT THEM and make them eat PORRIDGE.
I am also very keen on plants and all the furry woodland chums in the M.O.D garden.
Here are Betty’s Gardening Tips for the month of July.
In July, you may LOOK AT PETUNIAS. The ONES THAT YOU GREW AND DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT.
Here are some PETUNIAS.
Do NOT EAT THEM. They will make your tummy all wrong. Betty CANNOT CURE THIS.
MORE PETUNIAS
Are they NOT BEAUTIFUL?
MORE!
FEAST your EYES. ON THESE BEAUTIES.
Betty thanks you for your UNDERSTANDING.

What a lovely weekend.
M.O.D did two lots of PLAYING in front of REAL people. People like YOU. Yes. YOU. You and your shiny friends. Yeah, you go to your shiny NEW friends. We used to be friends but now you’ve got all your SPECIAL NEW ONES. Well, don’t come running back to us when they disappoint you. Yeah they promise…
Oh.. sorry, bit off track there.
Anyhoo…
Some photos, what Jerry took, and we STOLE from his album. How we laugh. We are such sculduggerous coves. Oh yes.
Nailsea Beer & Cider Festival
This is us.. ON STAGE in NAILSEA
This is MIGGLE. MAKING BADGER DRINK BOOZE. Badger is a strict disciplinarian. He is now SOILED.
Busking at the Pier. Betty could not join us sadly
Well we rocked, or in our case, is that “frocked” the mighty Metropolis of Nailsea today.
Despite the rain, much beauty was created. We shed a tear for the beauty. The crowd were adorable, the organisers were splendid. And despite the rain, we came we saw and we folked.
We cannot not mention the impressive skills of PANTSMAN. For it was he with the PANTS of justice. Yes. HIM. He danced for us like YOU should dance for us. IN HIS PANTS.

M.O.D will hover on the street near Clevedon Pier again on Sunday 15th of this month. Just between us OK? We are friends after all. But just between us? Yeah? Don’t tell someone else, unless they’re likely to be interested, in which case tell them this, but make it sound slightly mysterious, so they get so excited that they squeak like those little pig things that live by my cupboard. Sometimes I look at the little pig things and laugh. Sometimes they talk to me and it makes me Very Happy.
Oh yes, don’t mention that it’s half four (I’ll change that if it isn’t, if that’s OK by you?)

REMEMBER THIS
Hello
Bandstand picnic update!
STOP PRESS… Event moved to The Campbell’s Landing Public House, opposite CLEVEDON PIER
Damn weather!
Your beloved M.O.D must be kept dry and sure-footed, however, so must YOU. We do not want a poor bedraggled soaked M.O.D fan. Or even FANS
So therefore the kind organisers of the BANDSTAND PICNIC have suggested that if it’s really really wet, we can play at the pub mentioned on this link. No, the link earlier in that sentence.
Watch this post for updates up until the day

Guess what’s happening kids!

Thank you for you attention.
It will be rewarded.
M.O.D are shortly to announce a clump of gigs during the next two weekends.
M.O.D now want to say the word “clump” again.
CLUMP.
There. M.O.D said it again. YOU CANNOT STOP THIS.
There will be more INFORMATION when The M.O.D Web Weasel has been informed of all details.
This will HAPPEN SOON.
Today, on this day, M.O.D feel honoured to have played a beautiful secret gig. It was so beautiful, Betty made tea for everyone. Hurrahs all round.
It was even more so beautiful because Alex said it was Beautiful. Alex is not given to such casually crafted hyperbole for he is normally VERY QUIET and NOT TO BE DISTURBED. We then made him stand in a puddle and threw beetles at him. We also laughed at him until he cried. We noticed his tears were made up of little spiders making webs. Betty then knitted the webs into bags to carry STUFF.

If you weren’t there, it is because you weren’t able to come. M.O.D do not think unkindly of you. M.O.D understand.
Actually M.O.D might hold it against you. Therefore you are charged with Attending The Next Gig. Or else.
Ok we’re all friends now aren’t we. Just our little joke back there.
Or was it?
