It's nice to imagine Captain Sensible with his infamous parrot singing "Happy Talk" on TOTP as part of a computer processing thoughts and songs. I know it's a cover but it's the version that stands out. For me anyway but then I love The Damned....

Posted on Tue, 09 Apr 2024

Dr Kruschev - wasn't he the Russian president at some point in the past? There seems to be many links between Bulgaria and Russia.

Good to see your adopted country in the Shengen Area. I like the thought of those storks flying wherever...

A ramble in bucolic

Posted on Thu, 04 Apr 2024

A ramble in bucolic countryside in sight of the Black Mountains is just what we need at this time of year. A wonderful evocation of springtime makes this our Facebook and X Pick of the Day! Please do share it round.

Another wonderful ramble

Posted on Thu, 04 Apr 2024

Another wonderful ramble through bucolic scenery. You have a keen eye for appreciating the beauty of nature, Rhiannon.

I was out walking in Braunston on Monday and it was lovely to see spring lambs in the fields.

"...those intoxicated weary
