Not to mention the issue of geography and people cracking the sads because we have a couple here, a couple there, and then massive scatter. I would embrace the "our place last Sunday" thing but I don't have the personal resilience to rebuff all the issues bound to arise...<br />But then this is also a bad time to discuss any kind of 'new plans!" stuff. I'll get there. <br /><br />Linda: see you Sunday!

Then instituted the "last Sunday of the month", at whichever household wants to volunteer that month. Our house is usually the fall-back position, and we make it an afternoon tea, so that no-one has to work very hard, wherever it is. (also easier with munchkins) <br /><br />For a while it was *always* at our house, and I threw a small tanty and gave up on it for a few months. Then it got picked up again, and now it moves around fairly consistently. Some months it's two families, sometimes it's 20. Oddly enough the times it's two are often the most satisfying. :) But it's working.<br /><br />I think an occasional tanty helps to keep people focused. :) It's frustrating being the organiser - sometimes it's just because your time constant is shorter (sorry, can't help the geek-speak) and you are simply programmed to seek people out faster than other people seek you. Bottom line - is it fun when it happens??<br /><br />And when all else fails, take a leaf out of Terry Pratchett's book and prod buttock. :-)Eggshell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727708368789648726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527069585274909093.post-18745244760386778932009-09-15T12:51:03.366+10:002009-09-15T12:51:03.366+10:00hmmm.
