I grew up with a 7” story record of Thomas, Terrence & the Snow read by Johnny Morris, so very much appreciated that GIF!

I still do! Played it quite a lot with my kids…until they decided only games involving screens were cool.
And my daughter is well on her way to destroying her father’s confidence with pure logic! (I presume you read the amusing article)

I was quite the sensitive indie kid! Tho I didn’t realize it at the time!
Ever seen the book A Scene In Between? When it came out, my friend thought that was me on the cover. In fact it is Josh from Loop, who we hung out with on a few occasions.
I’m not in the book but some of my friends are.

I spent the first few years of my Japan life hoovering up Kahimi Karie CDs from BookOffs all over the place! This one was tricky coz it was in that weird (to me at the time) oblong case. It has sat proudly at the front of my K section ever since!

Sunday morning. Another glorious day. Hard to believe all this will be under 20cm of snow by Friday.
Unless they’ve got it wrong again.

There’s an awful lot of words. Tiring for us old folk to keep up with.
Some of the lines are very funny and pretty clever. Others…I have no idea what they’re talking about!!

Presumably. I was pretty shocked the first time I cooked huckleberries. It looks like some kind of poisonous witches brew. (Actually, they are mildly poisonous)
I forgot to take a picture, but between blue and purple it goes vivid wine bottle green.
At the end though, you get delicious jam.
