I never do anything you don't want to do .... I merely plant the seeds ....
you germinate them!! Loved the 3rd Duke video.
(oh, and enjoy the concert tonight, Mlle. Grimaud does look rather lush)

A friend of mine, a music one, suggested that I should make an arrangement/transcription of piano works/s by john Adams. Well, I've been listening to a couple, which like, very much and I am considering(wether I know, would be allowed by the publishing company) wether they be suitable for wind band and which they would be. Hoping I would be allowed to, I just don't know which one!

Difficult to believe I was walking around in shirt sleeves earlier this week. Certainly needed the Berghaus and fleece today as the wind has been pretty chilly. The sudden chill has brought hundreds of leaves down from the trees and my walk to the railway station will be through a carpet of them soon.

tuk-tuks

I thought they were a mode of transport

Been blowing a gale here all afternoon, and chucking it down. Autumn storms with a vengeance.

Mahlerei, our post # one reports that it was foulweather not far from here last night. Itwas so dark and depressing I drew the curtains at tea time and tried to watch TV for abit.

I shall soon be up all night and sleeping all day if I go to bed much earlier.

Nice w/e to all

Is there not a front page headline in the Express that this is going to be the worst winter for decades with lots of the white stuff arriving pretty soon......

I tend to trust S_A more....

Agendas, agendas........

Turning out nice down here, we should be able to get the washing out for a few hours.

It would be a nice day for footy..........#


Edit: You trust S_A MORE than the express ?!

Thanks for that anton. I thought I would leave the potatoes until Monday. Perhaps not then

The Express, Mail, Star, etc., are always forecasting weather doom and gloom - it's far too early to think about deep and crisp and even scenarios.
Yestereday here was ok, lots warmer due to thick cloud cover, reached 13.6°, not particularly windy bit of misty drizzle for a short while in the afternoon. Today again misty drizzle (not enough to worry about an umbrella), sun is now breaking through and blue in the East but very black in the West, it's not feeling cold, 11.7°, unlikely to rise further I think.
I'm all at sixes and sevens, seriously overslept (10am !!) due to extremely late night, quick dash out to get paper and bread in an attempt to wake myself up, no idea of what to cook over weekend which always throws me (I like to be organised!) but bought three lovely cyclamens for kitchen windowledge, very buddy, only £1 each in the market. I like to have some colour during winter months, one is the most amazing deep crimson.

The Express only has 3 headlines, which it rotates - the weather (extreme, either way), Princess Diana and Madeleine McCann.

Might spare a thought for those under this...

It makes even Salymap's potatoes seem a bit insignificant

Yes, of course it does, even more so my washing today my Sarah Lund-style jumper in preparation for the winter - and Thank the Lord we don't have cyclones, typhoons, tsunamis, etc., but we will give aid to those affected so I certainly am not going on a guilt trip (my relatives in Bermuda each year suffer tropical storms, ditto relatives in the US, so I am not unsympathetic and hard-hearted, but that's life, you live where you live, you deal with it - and that does make me unsympathetic and Hard Hearted Anna I guess ......)

Indeed, those poor people in India, will certainly be in our thoughts.

lovely day today, after yesterday's deluge!
