'Love is a many splendoured thing'- heartbreaking at the end.. And my mum's favourite with Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman- 'Random Harvest' .Hollywood hokum at its finest -but you cry right at the start and don't really stop! Great!!
We're really off topic now...
Need to go back outside and cut back some dead stuff now
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I know we are off topic and Verdun can tick us off if he wishes. I'm a sucker for weepies, which they don't make these days, Now it's all guts, gore and sorry, sex I'd rather the camera pan out.
Must go and be more productive. Looking decidedly nasty out there and temperature dropping. Joy.
New name for me from my Son, the "sunshine boy"? Set off down the A1 yesterday with the car visor down as the sun was blinding, arrived in the Vale of York amid glorious sunshine and bitter cold wind. They said I had taken the sun with me as the party got under way and we sat in the beautiful sun warmed conservatory and spilled out into sun filled rooms. We saw the sun set over the Snow Capped Pennines and thought of Pennine Petal. There was still some snow and a lot of water over the fields behind their house quite a bit of rubbish swept in by the floods they had but being on a hill they were OK. Grandson and his Lovely Fiance' were happy with the Cheque I gave them so big hugs all round, the sound of happy voices 24 of them children grandchildren additions to the clan was soothing music to me, I did steer clear of nice lady twice widowed with a gleam in her eye, lonely on her own she said not if your family are as caring as mine you are not. A drive home in the dark on fairly quiet Motorway and into bed tired but happy, does life get better I ask?
Frank/Dad- you realise I would have to vet her first anyway? Glad you had a nice time. Now it's back to 'porridge and auld claes' as my Mum used to say. Do I need to translate that for anyone?
Verdun- if you hum it......
Had my lunch -I know - I thought it was much later than that! Watching Nigel Slater..I like him
Tina -know what you mean. SInging in the rain still my favourite of all time.
Who needs Brad or Mr Clooney when you can have Gene...even if Lena Lamont has all the best lines!

Fairygirl/Daughter, you would love her, she is definitely one for our clan, mad as a hatter, a real party girl, what more could you ask??I eat my porridge every morning with fruit and the odd times for old times sake with salt, like it both ways. Old clothes are all I have, a wardrobe full of them, Daughter bags them up to bin, she says no charity would have them and I get them back out when she goes, you cannot garden in glad rags. Marlene Dietrich "The Blue Angel" songs Dancing in the dark, Night and Day, Thanks for the Memory and Alice blue gown. All of them Dad's favourite songs he bought the music and told me "Half a crown when you can play it" I made good money out of that old piano.
I did consider using my online nickname of 'Binky_2301' on here, derived a very long time ago from the name of the horse ridden by Death in the Terry Pratchett 'Discworld' books but decided to go with my real name.
My avatar is me at work, most of the ones my other half has taken of me gardening seem to be from behind and revealing too much underwear, though that may say as much about my gardening trousers as me.
I supposed I could have gone with a new nickname I aquired at work from a client's small daughter who, after I had vaccinated her cat, wonderfully randomly fixed me with a steely gaze and announced that I was 'Doctor Sausage'...
Driverdiver, drove a lot of trucks in my time largest to smallest, never had to wear Scuba gear not even driving DUKS, is there something I do not know?? Verdun it would not be too far off what I was called for the first 18 years of my life Sonny boy by all the villagers, never did find out why? If Fairygirl/daughter is my actual or virtual Daughter then all the odds must say I am male, no one ever denied that fact to my face so the jury is out on it. Steve J if you go around sticking big needles in little girls pussy cats then she probably meant Dr Savage. The film list, Gone with the wind, Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Holiday inn. Songs The last time I saw Paris, As time goes by, People will say we're in love. That last one cuddled up with a girl on the Streatham Locarno Dance floor, good memories all.
