Evening all

Wind, rain, hail and a few sunny spells - blooming cold!
Did anyone see the angry “pet” pheasant which chases the local postie on the BBC news this morning? What made me laugh was the postie’s skinny legs in red shorts and what appeared to be red tights.

I hope you’ve all had a good day

Poor postie pursued by pesky pheasant (my alliteration headline today )
The BBC clip is:

(I think the pheasant sees red when it sees the colour red and the attacks would stop if the postman wore ordinary coloured trousers)

Good evening everyone

It has been chilly, wet and windy today.

Three squirrels! Do you think it’s a family group, Moonie?
lol El, loving the pheasant alliteration

Hope you have all had a good day

Hi Yogi

I don’t know to be honest but I saw the smallest one disappear under the back gate toward front of the house. I have seen several squirrels out there before

My day has been good fankoo, I hope yours has too

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Hug for the night owls

Good morning everyone

Thank you all for your concern. I felt a little under the weather yesterday but don’t feel to bad now thanks

Sunshine then clouds here. Still a brisk wind but a touch warmer than the last few days

The forecast is for a high of 15 degrees today with sunny intervals

I hope you all have a lovely day

It's a horror outside here   



Got Don't Bother to Knock on. Don't recall it. I now know where Rageh Omaar got his shoulder pads from - Richard Widmark

I can't recall ever seeing "Don't Bother to Knock" (1952) either
It's also has Marilyn Monroe and Anne Bancroft in early roles for them.
I note it was directed by the British director Roy Ward Baker. He also directed quite a number of episodes of British TV series from the 1960s and 70s such as The Avengers, The Saint, The Persuaders etc.
Also has Jeanne Cagney in. She had two brothers including James.

Was watching last night's "Beat the Chasers" and one of the questions was rather interesting..
Which of these three did Truman Capote (who wrote the book "Breakfast at Tiffany's" envisage for the part of Holly Golightly.
Grace Kelly, Doris Day or Marilyn Monroe.

Grace Kelly might have suited the part, but she married a few years before the film was made and had retired from acting.
Doris Day, I'm not convinced that would have worked. Strangely enough, Mike Nicholls had wanted her for Anne Bancroft's role in "The Graduate" but she refused the part.
Marilyn Monroe was the actress Capote had in mind,

Good morning everyone

A sunny day here with the temperature rising to 21°. Tomorrow forecast to be nearly as warm. Only for 2 days then the temperature drops - there's a forecast of sleet on Monday

The film "The Graduate" (1967) is, in film history, significant as it marks the end of the innocent age of comedies to a more cynical age, a move away from the Doris Day type of film. That's why Mike Nicholls had Doris Day in mind for the part of Mrs Robinson. Doris Day stopped making films by the following year.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

Fankoo squiggle

The temperature is supposed to reach 20 degrees later

Though it did start off sunny here, now it’s turned a little cloudy. So much for the promise of wall too wall sunshine in the forecast

Still it’s early in the day yet

Have a lovely day everyone
