AND ME!

I'm in good company, aren't I?

I would love the musical talents of Shostakovich, Glenn Gould and the wonderful Sir Colin Davis, the looks of Catherine Zeta Jones and Felicity Kendall, the writing talent of William Faulkner and the humour of Ronnie Barker and I would like to paint better than Rothko who I never could understand.

So, we share with St Hermann. It brought to mind Herman' Hermits a 1960s pop group who I loved at the time. Peter Noone was the lead singer and very good looking too. That leads on to a 'whatever happened to ...?'. You can find out on Wikipedia if you are that interested. Annoyingly I will probably be humming 'Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter' all day now.

I've been keeping an eye on the weather as usual and I am extremely disconcerted to see that Mr Meteo is forecasting WHITE STUFF for the Aveyron region on Thursday. The Aveyron is not so very far from us and looking at this morning's lovely sunshine and warmth I find that very difficult to imagine. I can't remember ever seeing snow in September before. Please let them be wrong!

I've rambled a bit today, haven't I? You'll have to put that down to my advanced age.
