Another warm one, bright and unbroken sunshine here, a refreshing change from the dismal yesterday, but get your duffel coats and jumpers at the ready. Talking of jumpers, our little Peacocks has rails of Christmas festive ones if you are interested..๐ŸŽ„

Rhyl was the place to take your bucket and spade today. Still generally mild, but watch what happens next week..

You could buy a couple of loose sweets for that, but it wouldn't be a very exciting pick and mix. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I hope you are not in too much pain and it gets sorted soon.

Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon
Paul Revere & The Raiders. (1968)

Written by Mark Lindsay, Billboard no 18, failed to chart in the UK. The song featured in the 2019 film 'Once Upon a Time..in Hollywood'. It has a Monkees feel about it.

By the looks of it, not all nuts were eaten, so trying to conceal the leftovers, perhaps? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

That's great news. Hopefully, you can relax a little more. Mind you, I think you are quite zen on the worst of days.

It was certainly a horrible miserable weather today in Kent, wet and very dull.

There was a slight drop in temperature today, but it is still mild and above average. It looks like another mild week to come before a change to normal conditions next weekend.

Another doll restoration. This is a 2013 Music Festival Draculara Monster High Doll found in a charity shop. The outfit is mostly complete. She is missing a lanyard and part of her left earring. The bulk of the time with this doll was spent removing glue from her hair by using furniture polish.

The latest addition to the collection is a 6.5-inch "pocket-sized" fashion doll, Palitoy Pippa, her friend Mandy, wearing a dancing Pippa dress. The doll would have originally cost 50p & outfit 60p in 1975.

This doll is in overall good condition, but shame, the tips of her toes are missing. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The closing vocal theme to 'Casino Royale' 1967

"Have No Fear Bond Is Here"

Mike Redway
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

It is a great uplifting theme, and the vocal version is often overlooked.

Well, if you were being chased by a rutting deer in Bushy Park today, you would have got hot quite quickly.

The elections, in general, indicated a significant shift away from Trump and Maga. I understand your Supreme Court will shortly rule on the legality of tarrifs, and the rulling might go against Trump despite the bias.
