   How did you find that out Gary ? Odd bod !

   The leaves against the sky are reminiscent of wallpapers which are popular at the moment. Not with me personally. I prefer the real thing.

   Lovely photograph !

    Gary, I can’t see what you’re seeing but if you imagine the photo rotated to the right 90 degrees it looks like a giant robotic sort of man, head above tree tops. He has a big nose and has his mouth open, talking. He has a hairy chin and wide shoulders. It’s true

    Completely agree about Ingrid Elissa.
    Andrew, that Puff clip took me back to my childhood. I remember around the same time hearing Sparky the Magic Piano on the radio. Does anyone remember that ? Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarky.

    I’ve attached a clip but don’t have very good sound on my PC at work – so it may or may not be the correct one !

    oh, and Gary – have just cricked my neck to look at the picture upside down. I can see Holy Island in Northumberland or possibly Mount Saint Michel

    Sorry – post too long, you probably stopped reading 8 lines ago!!!

    Helen! I’ve got Sparky the Magic Piano on vinyl somewhere – very scary, like the blue cat in the Magic Roundabout.

    Alright! Our host is back! Gotta a little scared you might have been stuck in a restaurant on a dark night with a Dover sole platter.

    Btw, good Sparky’s Dream song. Beats that melting snow feeling anyday, I reckon…

    I love that song ! Teenage Fanclub are great. Got a couple of albums at home. Really easy to listen to aren’t they ?

    

    Sparky used to frighten me a little bit…

    Another couple of songs from that time…

    There’s a hole in my bucket and the one about the boy singing to his dear old mudda and dear old farda from Camp Granada.
    Great memories

    ….And that whole Dragon’s gate thing?
    Well, I checked into it and it has nothing whatsoever to so with dragons! It’s actually a little small-town family-style restaurant. It offers eclectic yet traditional fare with a modern flare in an upscale yet non-pretentious atmosphere. Was hard-pressed to find a bad review, actually. Also has a great wine list. I recommend the figs stuffed with blue cheese wrapped in Parma ham -for starters.

    Nice work detective Tex! Sounds yum!

    You’ve lost me on Sparky but I do like Teenage Fanclub!

    Absolutely beautiful morning here. We had a big storm last night and everything is smelling crisp and clean and so so green! Summer is nearly over though….phew!
