Two songs from 1960s comedy films.
Firstly Henry Mancini's "The Sweetheart Tree" from "The Great Race" (1965) - the song as sung by Natalie Wood in the film followed by Mancini's version:

And secondly Ron Grainer's "Life is a Precious Thing" from "The Assassination Bureau" (1969) (audio only):

Any of you notice any similarity between the second part of the first video and the second video?

Good morning everyone

It’s a lovely sunny warm start to the day here. However, the weather forecast is for, sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime

I’m just back from a trundle down to the local shops

Have a super Sunday everyone

Evening all

Mostly dry and sunny with a couple of very light showers.

Had a trip to the outdoor section of the garden centre to get a few veg plug plants. I had planted some veg seeds but a cat managed to get under my netting and it dug up and scattered my seeds.

I hope you’ve all had a good day

Hi Yogi

Lovely and sunny this morning but cold and windy this afternoon. We have had a little not long ago too

Norty 🐈

My day has been good, I hope yours was too

Hi Moonie, I’m glad your day was good

I thought the netting was well secured over the frame but. it must have been a very determined cat.

Fankoo 😁😁😁

🐈 can be when they are of mind to be

When I went down the road to the local shop this morning I saw a white cat with ginger tips to it’s ears. I was gorgeous but my favourite cats are still black ones 😁

Have your blackbirds been to see you of late Yogi?

Baby Cyril and co are still rampaging around my garden

There was a huge crow feeding out there earlier too

It was beautiful 😁

Funnily enough, it’s a ginger cat that is the culprit

lo At baby Cyril and co, they sound like real characters

My blackbird has done his disappearing act again. I’m expecting him back once he has babies to feed. 😂

There is another pair of blackbirds I’ve seen at the bird feeders but they aren’t my blackbirds.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Hug for the night owls

how coincidental

Baby Cyril is so cute you want to cuddle him

He will be back because he knows you care and feed him

Your garden seems to have an attraction for blackbirds

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Yogi, Rosss and night callers

enjoyed both -the second part mirrored  the first part   as an instrumental piece of the first vocal piece

not sure this is correct though EL

night yogi moonsieeee EL

Good morning everyone it's going to be a wet and windy day today we have a yellow warning in place for high winds.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here and forecast to be a wet day.

I hope everyone has a good day

You are right with the second part being an orchestrated version of the first part of the first video

What I had noticed was some similarities between that orchestrated version and the second video

Good morning everyone

We have had a little rain but the sun is in and out. It’s very breezy and cold. The forecast is for heavy rain most of the day with a high of 9°.

Can’t see me venturing past the front gate today

Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe

Moonie, it's been raining here, currently stopped but then heavy rain is forecast for most of the rest of the day. And there's now a warning for gusts (forecast in the high 40s mph)

Typical Bank Holiday weather

Discovered this morning on the HMRC agent site that a client had deregistered me as agent for dealing with his VAT returns. Contacted him. Turns out he made a mistake. So I'm having to go through the process of getting the registration set up again. I'm referring to the agent registration, not his business VAT registration.

Part of the process requires me to say when the business was registered for VAT. That's many years ago. I had to get the client to log on to his VAT account with HMRC to find the information. It's shown on the VAT registration certificate which is accessible via the VAT account.

So a busy morning work wise

Moonie, I hope your team can get a good result this evening, I know they need to

If we can’t win a Black Country derby we don’t deserve to stay up

It's noticeably windier here now than it was

You did win the away fixture back in January

We need to do the double then

I had forgotten about that

Here’s a trivia question for the future, maybe

When was the last time twin brothers play on opposite sides in a cup final?

There were two cup finals today, the FA Trophy and the FA Vase. BBC article only on the Trophy, and no brothers in that:

Found this about the Vase match:
https://www.thefa.com/news/202...-vase-final-20210503
and there are players with the same surname on opposite sides so I guess they are brothers

Twin brothers El

One scored but was on the losing side

It has poured down all day.

Gents, I don’t have a clue about the footie twins question

I hope everyone has had a good day

It's been raining much of the day and has been the wettest day of the year, nearly as much as for the whole of April.

The two teams in that match were Hebburn Town and Consett, not exactly well known teams . I had to research Moonie's question though had known that there were a couple of finals today - in the other final was Harrogate who I had mentioned the other day regarding the prospects of Cheltenham becoming champions.

Hi and bye Yogi, sorry to have missed you

I think we have all had the same weather today

I wouldn’t have had a clue either if I hadn’t have been watching the game on the television

My day was good, I hope yours was too

I see the Baggies only drew 1-1. Not good enough. We are not mathematically relegated but pretty close to it

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Rosss, Yogi, El and night callers

Good morning everyone it's been a very windy night and it's still the same this morning. Hopefully the winds should die down about lunchtime.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here, showers possible later, not as windy as yesterday.

Moonie, not the result your team needed

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

Cold, wet and windy here. The forecast is for light rain for most of the day. Gusts of  wind up to 38mph

Not a good day for going out. So I won’t be

Thanks El re the Baggies

I have looked at the table and with 4 games each to go, the 5 teams above us have to lose all their remaining games and we have to win all of ours. Sadly, that’s not going to happen

Havr a lovely day everyone but stay safe

Moonie, sadly it does look inevitable that your team will go down

Moonie, by the way, although your team would need to win all 4 remaining games, they would stay up if Fulham lost or drew at least 1 game, and for instance say the team immediately above the relegation zone lost 3 games and drew 1.
That would result in your team having 26 + 4*3 = 38 points, Fulham 27 + 3*3  + 1 = 37 points and for instance Newcastle would 36 + 1 = 37 points.
