haha I love the name! What made him choose it?
Sweet dreams yogi 
happy bathing
Good morning everyone 
Weather is dry ATM, with rain forecast for later.
El and Summer, son's new car is a Ford Fiesta, so he was thinking of names beginning with F and he said Francesca just seems to fit the car.
He called his last car, Stevie, for no other reason than he liked the name.
My car doesn't have a name. Does yours?
Have a good day, everyone.
Watched The Southerner, a 1945 film I had recorded from the Talking Pictures channel. A poor family who had worked as cotton pickers decide to buy some land which had been untouched for some years to try to grow cotton themselves and the hardships they face. A very good film and certainly worth watching if it gets shown again. Although there are hardships, there's also a lot of warmth and even touches of humour.
What made me decide to record the film was that it was directed by the major French film director Jean Renoir. His major films were made in France before he fled from there during WW2 and came to the USA. Although he made a few other films while in the States, this is the best of them.
Good morning everyone, a bit of a mixture this morning, some cloud but fairly sunny. My hubby used to refer to all our cars as Betsy, no idea why.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, apparently according to some surveys done over the years Betsy is the most popular name givem by people to their cars. There was a book by Harold Robbins called The Betsy about someone designing a car which he called it by that name. He's not a writer that had any appeal to me and I've never ready any of them but they were very popular in their day. It's not known if that's the reason why Betsy is such a popular name for cars. The book was published in 1971.
Listening to the cricket on the radio and the commentators made reference to the can-can cricket shot saying that it reminded them on the 1920s and 30s. They are decades out as the famous can-can music and dance goes back to the previous century. The music was in fact written by Jacques Offenbach for his operetta Orpheus in the Underworld and is called Infernal Galop.
As you can imagine, it raised quite a few eyebrows back then.
Yogi, it's likely that you will want to see a new series starting on BBC 4 tomorrow Saturday evening called Cardinale. It's not a long series and 2 episodes tomorrow though more series are expected. It's Canadian and an adaptation of Giles Blunt's award-winning mystery novel Forty Words for Sorrow. Set in a northern Ontario town it's being described as a Canadian equivalent of Wallander. It's clearly very dark as it's about the murder of a young girl and it doesn't flinch from showing the forensic scenes.
Thanks El, I've set the TiVo box to record Cardinale
I like all the car names in the thread.

Squiggle, that's fascinating about psalms! I do believe there's a plan for us all and we should just trust & embrace it.

I'm expecting middle and youngest sons to pop in at some point today.

Good morning everyone, so so weather here. We've got the littlies coming over later and I've bought a paddling pool but it doesn't look nice enough for that
