    Oh yes @Fairygirl that advent calendar is just for me 😁 - probably should have made that clear! 😂 To be fair, even the seller marketed it as for that purpose! She must have been in cahoots with the vendor of the flavoured gins! 

     :D 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Haven't tried recently, Flumpy... I'll just try one:



    Hmm.  No trouble with that one... (It's Mountshannon, in County Clare, by the way  :) )

    FG - I loved Graceland but for the Ladysmith Black Mambasa bits and African rhythms more than anything else.   

    We have an advent calendar AR but it's definitely a kids' one for choccies for Possum altho, as she won't be here until the 22nd I could put in some naughty chocs for us.....

    Thanks, Fairy and Obelixx.  Yes, the weather was certainly interesting - we had a small "twister" on the hillside near where we were working on Thursday morning.  A pile of bracken and brambles spiralled way above our heads...   :o

    I am just a poor boy
    Though my story's seldom told
    I have squandered my resistance
    For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
    All lies and jests
    Still a man hears what he wants to hear
    And disregards the rest
    When I left my home and my family
    I was no more than a boy
    In the company of strangers
    In the quiet of the railway station
    Running scared,
    Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
    Where the ragged people go
    Looking for the places
    Only they would know
    Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
    Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie la la lie
    Asking only workman's wages
    I come looking for a job
    But I get no offers
    Just a come-on from the whores
    On Seventh Avenue
    I do declare
    There were times when I was so lonesome
    I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le
    Lie la

    The Boxer for me every time.

    My arm is still very heavy and I do feel ill, but sadly that could be from anything.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Love The Boxer ... but I love quite a bit of his writing. 
    Time for bed now so Sweet dreams folks ...

    Bridge over troubled water makes me well up too Fairy .....we’re a pair of soppy mares 🙄

    The Boxer makes me go all tingly too.   And “I am a rock” has been an anthem at certain times of my life. What a pair 🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

    Glad you had a good time Liri - in spite of the weather. How much duplo did you find? Missing LG too - guess she is studying hard?

    About to go to sleep to the sound of torrential rain ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️....and I mean serious stair rods😳
