Just Some Reminiscing ....
I do love music from the 1960's and on free TV Britain has a programme showing 60's music all the time. If I have a lazy-ish I tend to watch some of it with a lazy cuppa. This morning was one of those days ... and here are a couple of those on this morning. I tend to forget how long the Stones have been around ... and for my The Animals sang "House of the Rising Sun", so that was an odd song, and an unusual combination.
Enjoy
The Rolling Stones - It's All Over Now - 1964
The Animals/Sammy Davis Jnr - The Rain In Spain (1965)
I have just had Christine on the phone. We normally chat on a Sunday, but her dad (at 95) is in hospital at present, so she will be there tomorrow. He is doing well, and hopes to be home again in a few days.
I have made some ginger biscuits before that ... so now I am almost ready to get some lunch, make a sandwich for tea, and then head off to work. But, as ever -
11 - World Plumbing Day: We take indoor plumbing for granted - until there's a problem with it. Have you ever suffered a major plumbing emergency? Have you ever tried to fix a plumbing issue on your own? Did you succeed?
Back in 1996 I had a burst pipe in my loft. I am lucky I was in the house at the time, so was able to turn the water off at the mains. But that is as complicated as my plumbing gets ... in my present house that tap is in the kitchen (or I have a stop-cock outside on the pavement)
12 - Craft Month: Do you enjoy being creative? What crafts do you participate in? What crafts would you like to try out?
I do quite a bit ... although not as much as I used to when I lived near Toni. She is amazing at all crafts.
I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, do tapestry, and make icons on the computer. I would love to try pottery.
Right, let's get on.
Hope you all have a good weekend x
