Well, I’m off out next week to look for some then.

What! Doesn’t normally appear until much later in the year does it?

They were quite the couple. Not afraid (at all!) to enjoy themselves.

Oh boy. I remember the first time I heard it. Friend and I were babysitting for his aunt & uncle. We had cider. We sat on the floor in the dark and listened to it three times. In the morning we discovered his uncle had brought his aunt home in a wheelbarrow (left outside on the path). Good times.

Never easy to lose a parent. Embrace the good memories and live your life to the fullest.

Terrific album. Saw him in concert around the time of this album and he brought Stevie Wonder on to do one song. Magical, such an accomplished musician (both of them!).

Disliking Bryan Ferry would be like deliberately spilling ketchup on a clean white tablecloth

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Having looked at various reference books and the Merlin app I think Buzzard is most likely. Will be keeping my eyes open and trying to get a picture.

Thanks. I have a couple of bird books with pictures but I guess birds look different depending upon age/time of year.

Thanks. Saw it briefly as it was landing (I was driving) and it did have a wide wingspan, maybe 1.5/2 mts.

Bird people. Yesterday saw a large bird of prey sitting in a tree on the lane we live on (sure by open fields). It had dark plumage with yellow/golden feathers on the top of its head. Could it have been a golden eagle, in Cornwall? #birdsky

Since the wind changed earlier, yes.

Well, we had a weather warning for ice tonight, didn’t expect the wind currently making our patio doors move in and out! 😳

Ratcliffe is an immigrant in Monaco, where immigrants have properly taken over. Maybe being rich makes him think its different for him. Massive Hypocrite.

I think also that the robot (Robby) cost the studio so much to produce that it was used in quite a few subsequent tv series (e.g. The Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, The Addams Family and bizarrely Columbo).

The first MGM movie to have the soundtrack (by Bebe and Louis Barron) produced entirely outside of the MGM studio lot. It was also the first all-electronic film score. (Facts courtesy of Mark Kermode’s wonderful book - Surround Sound.)

We might be a bit wet, but we’re still here. Luckily, we are on top of a hill and not the bottom.

ICE will be at the #WorldCup.

Another reason to demand matches are moved out of the US: it’s not safe.

Let’s not let Trump hijack the competition to feed his ego, whitewash his reputation, or advance his authoritarian agenda.

Similar for a local restaurant/bar here in Cornwall. Many close in Jan but one made the decision to stay open (part of the week) and have been really busy.

Here in Padstow (Cornwall, UK, for those not familiar with it) there is a charity STP competition every year. They have a judging panel but everyone who goes to see the comp gets the chance to taste some of the entries after the judging has finished. Very rare that there is a bad one.
