      Hi,

      It's now what passes as daylight and looking out at the weather it's still terrible; strong gusts of wind and rain; not a nice day to be outdoors.

      I've just enjoyed a mug of tea and downloaded "The Sound Of Silence" for solo violin it covering both D minor & E minor; a bit of quality time now to follow in the studio as I practice playing.

      I can't alter the weather but I can choose what I do indoors. :yes:

      Kind regards, Colin.

        1 sleep till Santa............................................

        9 degrees and sunny blue shies and thankfully those 50mph winds we had all night seem to have halved in strength.

              Sorry, he's not coming this year :dunno:

              Santa is Quitting

              T'was the night before Christmas,
              Old Santa was pissed
              He cussed out the elves and threw down his list
              Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks,
              I have a good mind to scrap the whole works
              I've busted my ass for damn near a year
              Instead of "Thanks Santa" what do I hear?

              The old lady bitches cause I work late at night
              The elves want more money - the reindeer all fight
              Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids
              Donner is pregnant and Blitzen has AIDS

              And just when I thought that things would get better
              Those assholes from the Revenue sent me a letter
              They say I owe taxes - if that ain't damn funny
              Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus money?

              And the kids these days - they all are the pits
              They want the impossible ...Those mean little sh.ts
              I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds
              Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads
              I made a ton of yo yo's - No request for them
              They want computers and robots...Am I IBM?

              Flying through the air...dodging the trees
              Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees
              I'm quitting this job...there's just no enjoyment
              I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment
              There's no Christmas this year...now you know the reason
              I found me a blonde.. I'm going SOUTH for the season!!

                Hi,

                No problem for us; we don't celebrate Christmas at all. :dbgrtmb: Glad when it's over; sick of hearing about it since August. Next will be Cadbury's Cream Eggs on Boxing Day; then Valentine's Day; then Easter possibly with Father's Day' Mother's Day and all the rest in-between.

                Kind regards, Colin.

                  It's still mild, dry and the odd bit of sun, pleasant. Didn't need a coat on my trip to collect the turkey.

                    Reasonably mild but the wind has really picked up and branches down all over the garden.

                      Spectacular rainbow clouds as the sun went down, very windy, but due to drop soon, then wet tomorrow, but as we love Christmas and all the seasons we just dress accordingly, still 9 degrees, but it doesn't feel like it.

                        Those kind of clouds were visible a few days ago around here, but I missed them, quite unusual apparently.

                          The gale has continued to blow, along with showers of horizontal rain and sunshine in between, 8C/46F.
                          I'd rather have snow. "snow plough"

                                Good morning all & a merry Christmas Day to you all :dbgrtmb:

                                We now expect the rain to arrive about 1pm & then to last most of the pm. The wind seems to have dropped after another windy day yesterday. We did get a couple of very light rain showers but the day was again very mild with 14C our max!
