Good morning everyone 
Very cloudy but dry day here again.
I hope everyone has a good day 
Slim, little new of note on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week. There's a minor British 1952 comedy called "Come Back Peter" on Wednesday morning. It's about relatives causing chaos when they come to stay. Doesn't seem to be much good but is at least light hearted.
It was a sequel to a 1948 film called "Fly Away Peter". So the titles would be referring to the nursery rhyme.

And is the introductory piece of music to 'Fly Away Peter' 
The full film is on you tube 
Might be worth watching it prior to the sequel 
Thankyou El

That was very fortunate for them El..
I saw on the news that the townsfolk were throwing mud at the King & Queen as a protest for not being warned in time of the rain forecast..

Though since then the king said that he understood their anger and frustration and had actually embraced some of them.
Small tribute to Quincy Jones who died yesterday. Clip of his "Ironside" which is based on his theme music for the television series of that name (audio only)

and his 1962 "Soul Bossa Nova" (audio only and so doesn't show the film it's most associated with)

BBC collection of 7 photos of wildlife in Kent taken by Robert Canis who was placed first in the Mammal category of the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyg4213597o
It's appropriate that the first photo is of a fox as Canis is derived from the Latin word for dog.
The country must be having a dunkelflaute, That's the word given to when the anticyclonic gloom we're getting results in less energy being able to be generated from sunlight and wind:

Cloudy here though according to the forecasts there's some sunshine at times today. Forecast to become misty later for the rest of the day and tonight.
I hope everyone has a good day
No promises of sunshine here today El...just overcast & dreary 
Take care folks...

*Wonders if humans can have a dunkelflaute too* 
Definitely sounds about right for here in Devon El...

A football penalty yesterday which is one of the strangest ever. I think the referee was technically correct in awarding the penalty though harsh.

There is, the only trouble is that it's hidden by the clouds so we can't see it
It still looks the same here as it did when I posted last El...
Hasn't stopped the bliddy seagulls from sounding off though...unfortunately

The Met Office forecast is more accurate, Slim I had popped out and it's more gloomy then is has been.
Here's a fairly well known extract from Wagner's "GotterdÃĪmmerung" :

DÃĪmmerung is German for twilight
Must be one of the strangest pieces of piano music of all time. Don't have the sound on high.

Strange is not the word, in some parts it sounds like a toddler banging on the keys
