Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY... 2014...

Top of the morning all my friends how are we all to day,feeling good I trust,its cold and frosty here on this bonus of a Sunday,enjoy your day and put your best smile on

 

Aloha Woo and everyone,

It was frosty last night but then it rained. There's still "a chill in the air, but I don't care" as the sun is coming out.

Here comes one of my pieces of useless musical information

I put quotes around those words because they're in a beautiful song, but I can't find it on youtube. It was called Summertime Love' and written by Frank Loesser for his musical Greenwillow. Harry Belafonte did a lovely version of the song but I can't find it anywhere - apart from my copy of it!

I don't know how complicated it is to post something on youtube, so you'll just have to take my word for it There's a version of it on the net sung by Anthony Perkins who was in the original Broadway show but his voice isn't brilliant (but not bad). (Another piece of useless information:- Anthony wasn't at the filming of the shower scene in Psycho because he was in the musical on Broadway.)

They lyrics start off:-

Many times I've been told by the wise and the old
Something good I'm supposed to remember
If my first love I've found in, in the warm of July
It'll cool in the nip of September

Now they point to the skies
Do the old and wise
And they speak of a chill in the air
But I don't care
Oh, still I love my summertime love
Still I love the kissing and the courting
Still I love my summertime love
With a heart still summertime true

Have a great day

Aloha!

 

The musical came out 53 years ago and wasn't a great hit although there were some lovely songs. So you're unlikely to have heard of it.

It's only people like me, who like the background of music and have elephantine memories, who will know it.

 

Aloha Loli and everyone,

Loli, do you roll around on the blanket as well?

Yesterday started off nice but deteriorated into howling wind and driving rain, but it's nice and warm and dry indoors.

I got some gardening done yesterday and hope to do some more today. I'm going to try and dig out a load of crocosmia if I can manage it. It's a b... to dig out but it has really gone rampant. We got plenty of things to put in its place.

Have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good late morning all my friends,lost my internet connection for a while,so I used the emergency manual generator back up system and all is well now
I can see that we are all OK so enjoy your day and please stay safe

 

Woo, sorry to hear you had trouble with the internet but, at least, you didn't get into a flap

I've dug out a load of red crocosmia and I thought I had better stop before my back told me off. It's so tough that I should really use a spade, to cut through it, and not a fork.

One of our neighbours has had some big Leylandii chopped down and they're now burning it . Ash is flying everywhere! The cars and patio are covered and it's settling on my solar panels. The sky is clouding over so I hope it pours with rain.

 

Good afternoon Shiney both flaps down and winging it
