You mean this one?

It’s strange remembering but my father always had such a varied taste in music. He introduced me to folk and musicals. Wherever he went he always brought back music, food and books. It’s why we have the ladybird ninja turtle books in English and Spanish. It’s why we have Himalayan pipe music and Fats Domino, Foggy Dew-O and the war of the worlds. Why we took a special trip to hmv in Hong Kong for alanis morisette and Marilyn Manson and why I remember laying on a bed in a posh hotel listening to Bon jovi when the airport workers were on strike. My life is filled with music and memories because music and memories were important to my parents.

Susan Boyle singing You'll Never Walk Alone
Dad loved it, I was doubtful, thinking football anthem
But when she sings it, it is haunting
Played at his funeral 😭

So tonight on SCD it was a dance song & I had a moment and I expect my Mother did too
💔

Oh no! Urgh xx

Morning all, and thanks for the drink MW

Morning paw sniffers🤗🤗

Waiting for the gale force winds to arrive😳

Invited out for Sunday lunch today to somewhere I've been wanting to go to for ages🤗🤗😊

So I'm happy to have cake for breakfast. I'll be having plenty veg later😊

edit post images not working again🥴

Good morning all

Dull cold and wet but not storm weather Stay safe

Music is not my thing I cant sing a note but will need to listen to Susan Boyle She lives not far from us and periodiclly makes local news with her modest living

Sitting here wondering how long it can take to drain down a 180 litre tank through a hose. This morning's shower was very quick but at least warm. In theory have to leave at 11.30 for first of two football matches in the wind and rain.

In our house the only non negotiable is two hot showers a day, if I can't fix it then we probably need to book into a hotel.

Worst is probably that whenever I am stressed like this hot water thing or early start for holiday or big work meeting I now seem to sleep really badly. Joys of getting old.

I hope no one is getting blown away or flooded.

I dont watch Strictly but will view Chris and Dianne on catch up when DH is out as there are so many reports of it being a tear jerker

Been out to Dunelm, Harry Corry and Asda Nothing in either of the first two Asda was heaving with shoppers with overflowing trollies and only two tills on Queues up the aisles Not acceptable

DH has his first box of mince pies

Good afternoon

Unwinding from yesterday, still lying in bed, listening to Storm Ashley.
I did go out at 7am in my night attire to remove the begonias from the top of the wall, waving to our neighbours' CCTV

The location is wonderful, but I'd need to add a huge extension to be able to get the kids in x

Theres so many factors that contribute..... isolated communities, poor public transport, and community resources. The people who have the skills to help maintain a good community move away. Landlords buy.... so many factors.
