SPRINGTIME

Wow.  it is a lovely day.  I have been playing in the woods with my brother and we put up some nestboxes.   My mum said that in 1976 , cold and snowy weather in the Spring was followed by, non stop,  lovely sunshine all Summer.  Maybe it will be the same this year.

PANCAKE TUESDAY

PANCAKE TUESDAY

  What is Pancake day.   It is called Shrove Tuesday and is the last chance to eat whatever you like.  Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent which is  a Christian festival where you give something up for Lent.   Nowadays it is something like chocolate or cakes but in the olden days it would have been normal things like eggs and butter.  Lent goes on right up to Easter Sunday and that works out to 47 days of giving up something, like a sort of a sacrifice or proof of willpower.  Shrove comes from the word shrive which means to...

I am hoping we are going to get a lot of snow over the next couple of days.   I want to build a whole family of snowmen because we live near a place where they will be safe.  Last year, when I was living in the NW , mum and me built a 2.2 family of snowmen and a polar bear.  Somebody pinched one of the snow children and the head of the dad and smashed the snow mum.   The polar bear lasted two hours before somebody smashed it up. They were quite good and people were taking photographs of them. ...

I had to sing a pop song in my singing lesson today.  I chose Shine by Take That.  I didn’t realise how hard it was and it sounded like a cat being dragged down the motorway.  Must try harder lol.

Friday Night

Friday Night

It has been a busy week this week.  I went to my drum lesson with Neil and it was really good.  I used to go to drum lessons at a music academy when I lived in the North and my progress was really slow.  The stuff I am doing now is so much better, in just a couple of weeks.  I am really enjoying it.   I am going to London tomorrow to see the cast screening for ‘The boy with chocolate Fingers.’  I play the main character ‘Donald’ as an adult.  I am excited about seeing it and it will...

HAPPY BURNS NIGHT

HAPPY BURNS NIGHT

Take the liver, lungs & heart of a sheep and boil them. Mince the meats and mix with chopped onions, toasted oatmeal, salt, pepper, and spices. Take one properly cleaned sheep’s stomach. Stuff the cleaned stomach with the prepared contents. Sew up the stomach (leaving enough room for expansion to avoid a large messy explosion) and boil. Serve and eat. Lovely !

THE ARTIST

Last week I was asked to go and see ‘The Artist’ and give a review.   I had heard it was a silent movie and I thought it might be boring but I found that I was drawn in to the story even though there was no dialogue. The story is about a top silent movie star and he suddenly loses his position when talking movies start.  He accidently meets a woman who he helps get into the movies and ends up being a big star in the talking movies.  Jean Dujardin plays George Valentin and Bérénice Bejo plays the starlet, Peppy Miller.   James...
