All's well here 
I wonder if anyone has dislocated their shoulders trying to copy that M&S Christmas jumpers advert. I confess that I find it weird

I like that ad but I wonât be trying out âthe movesâ
Summer, the tiddlers had a Christmas Jumper day at school and nursery
Really good to have you back, Ros. Goodnight and sweet dreams

Good morning everyone it's been very windy again overnight and still is. I'm not sure I've known such an extended period of gale force winds before.
I'm glad all was well at the hygienist EL. I haven't come across the M & S ad yet as I watch so little TV.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Here's a very short quiz I've made up on classical music composers and their first names.
1 Which composer's first name was Wolfgang (as he's known, he was baptised with a different name). That's the easiest of my questions.
2 Name a composer whose first name was Gustav. That's a bit harder. You will probably have heard his most famous musical work or parts of it,
3 Name another composer whose first name was also Gustav. Harder of course as he's not as well known as the one above.
4 Which composer's first name was BedÅich. That's the hardest one and well done to anyone who gets it (without searching )
Answers to my little quiz (in pale text to hide - highlight text after the number to see )
1 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
2 Gustav Holst (best known for The Planets suite)
3 Gustav Mahler (major composer of symphonies often played at the Proms, some of his 3rd and 5th symphonies were used for the film Death in Venice)
4 BedÅich Smetana (possibly best known for his The Bartered Bride)
Good evening all.
Chilly and damp weather today.
El, I think I know the answer to
1. Motzart
2. The only Gustav I know is Holst
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Rainy atm and strong winds forecast.
We have a busy day ahead with family visitors.
Have a good day, all
Good morning everyone
Raining here at present and more expected today,
Yogi, your answers to my first two questions are correct Oddly enough I watched one of those episodes of The Mallorca Files yesterday evening and it featured music from the composer in my third question - a genuine coincidence with my posting my quiz earlier in the day.
I hope you have a nice time with your visitors
I hope everyone has a good day
I came across this Youtube clip.
Julie Gaulke has done similar multtrack work and has a Youtube channel:

M&S would be wise to take your comments onboard

Good morning everyone, another very wet night. It's still windy but not as bad as it was. I'm glad you had a good day with the family Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
Light breeze and showers are forecast. I hope the wind dies down, Squiggle
Not yet sure what our plans are for today.
Have a good day, all.
The eight series of Father Brown starts early next year - 10 episodes - same cast returns. Also during the series are some returning characters, Lady Felicia, Sid Carter and Hercule Flambeau. Also two chief inspectors come back - Sullivan (Tom Chambers) and Valentine (Hugo Speer).

Still 50:50 on whether to get my hair cut this morn. Right now I keep it like Moons.
Hope all are well and are able to take the day in. I'm a birdwatcher 
Always salute a single magpie and blackbirds are just special.
The Beatles never did Blackbird justice. Dirge, but still recognised. Sweet singers.
One no. 6 later.
Thought that barber was Turkish. Couldn't have been further from the truth. Built mob - Iraqi Kurds. Basically hate everyone - still he wished me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Postie's getting a bottle of Nancy and Lee's Summer Wine.
Not many people delivered when you were walking the dog in another street and he had missed you.
All round good guy.
Yep El. Mine calls me by my first name.
Posties are good

Afternoon all
El, I also have a lovely, helpful postie. Mr Y (not very subtly) discovered he likes a nice bottle of red wine so, we have bought one for him for Christmas.
Velvet, my late brother was a Christmas postie when he was a student - hard work at that time of year.
Summer, itâs only 9 sleeps to go!
I hope you are all having a good day
