Good morning, world!

Its overcast but dry on Planet Thanet this morning. Its going to be a busy day!

We will amble into town this morning, for Mrs Salad to get her flu jab.

This afternoon, it's band practice, where I shall be playing bass guitar, and trying to keep the other band members from coming to blows about new song choices, and what key to play them in. Since I am equally rubbish in all keys, it makes no difference to me!

Finally, we shall be going to the theatre tonight for some culture. We are going to see The Full Monty, so that should be a giggle!

Stay safe, everyone.....



Is it the English or American version I Saw the Full Monty some years ago not realising it was the American version until it started Terrible left at the interval:sad::sad::sad:

Mo.....I also watched the final part of The Tower.
I was disappointed in some ways as all the "badies" got away with their dirty deeds.
I like to see "badies" get their comeuppance.


I felt the same.Not sure if it was left like that for a follow up series

So much for rain at 4. It arrived just before 3.30 and got quite heavy.

Most of the leaves are down now

My loosing streak at the bingo continues, another blank afternoon, though my Brother In Law won twice. It turned out to be an excellent afternoon out, Lunch at the Cassilex cafe in Roland Avenue then I pushed my Good Lady down to the Unicorn Club in Holbrooks Lane for a meet up with friends and family, we sat with my Brother In Law and his Good Lady and our neighbor and a group of her friends, between the bingo there was beer drunk, much gossiping, laughter and general p*** taking, and a good time was had by all. I'm knackered now and could do with a nap.

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here :sad:

They don't write them like that now :sad:

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever Autumn
'Cos you're not here

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
Mo's been for a walk
on a winters day...

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today

On a more sombre note as it is Armistice Day:

Today, as I rode by,
I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree
In a still afternoon,
When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky,
But thickly, silently,
They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;
And wandered slowly thence
For thinking of a gallant multitude
Which now all withering lay,
Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
But in their beauty strewed
Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.
