And Then Anther One Gone …

   Yup, my birthday tomorrow so we’re spending today planning the big party. It’ll be attended by - oh, my little nest of vipers and myself.
   Wot to do? We thought of going out for a nice lunch but then compared the cost and decided to stay home and have the heating on for thirty minutes. Thank you Steer Calmer.
   Energy? Y’all seen this piece regards Ed Minibrains ‘plans’? Better still, has Ed Minibrain asked a
grownup to read it to him?
   Well, so, I see things are going up in price including that stuff wot falls out of the sky. Yup, water. Who’d a thought those rises in employers tax and a hop up in the minimum wage would be passed on to us down here, eh?
   Anyhoo, as the years roll by at an ever faster speed something wormed itself into my old head. The lyrics, oft quoted here, become more relevant with the passing years and this number should be played by parents to their kids wot spend every waking moment head down in their smart{?} phones.
Modern pop music’s sunk to big depths since numbers like this were about has it not?
So true; ‘
Face piles of trials with smiles and keep on thinking free.’

And on the very remote chance y’all aint seen this festive number yet...

And Then Just A Song…

   Sick of the ‘news’ wot with all the killing and weather warnings? Just a tip; don’t watch or listen to it.
   Anyhoo, as I clicked around that Tube of You last evening I ran into wot’s below. Smile a while but just a word of caution; be careful how many times you play it or it could well take over your heed for the night...

And Then Windy…

   Nothing to see here, sama-sama with the world wot’s gone mad.
   Anyhoo, we’re just huddled down awaiting the storm wot’s incoming as instructed by the powers that be who, according to various ‘news’ reporters have told many thousands of folk to stay indoors. Oh, and they’re reporting this ‘critical’ advice from outdoors. Go figure.

Quote; Rajneesh.

“Life is possible only through challenges. Life is possible only when you have both good weather and bad weather, when you have both pleasure and pain, when you have both winter and summer, day and night. When you have both sadness and happiness, discomfort and comfort. Life moves between these two polarities. Moving between these two polarities you learn how to balance. Between these two wings you learn how to fly to the farthest star.”
