Good morning everyone

 

Forecast to be a day of sunshine and heavy showers here.

 

I didn't spot it until too late but a 1930 western called "The Big Trail" is on Talking Pictures. It's being repeated Sunday week at 6 in the morning. It's an early big scale talkie western which was directed by Raoul Walsh, a notable American film director who wore an eye patch for most of his career following an accident where he lost an eye. The significance of this film is that it was the first significant film of John Wayne. Also in the cast is Tyrone Power senior, father of the famous actor of the same name.

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Back from my M&S shopping before the heavy showers set in - it now looks very dark out there.

 

I thought I'd treat myself having done the huge job (though the new accountant looks as if he'll be coming back to me with questions). So I've got a couple of apple frangipane tart slices for my lunchtime puddings this weekend. For tea I've got a couple of M&S muffins, one is a chocolate orange one (the colour of which makes me think of Halloween ) and the other one is a Christmas chocolate one which has a chocolate brown holly leaf with three llittle red berries

Good morning all.

Looks like sunshine and showers today.

lol Velvet, I had to google Vacheron Constantin 

Squiggle, I’ve made a good start on the the tiddlers’ Christmas shopping. 

When I asked PB what she would like, she said, “Get me anything you want, Granny”.

I said, “What if I get you something you don’t like?”

She replied, “I always like what you get me”.

El, I’m glad you get back from your shopping trip before the weather turns bad.

I like PB. Make sure she takes up a good one. Law or medicine     

 

I wanted to be an air traffic controller.

Moonie, apart from some showers here, the weather hasn't been too bad and isn't that cold so better than yours. I hope you have a good evening watching the Asian Champions League final in Tehran.  There the final is over two legs and this is the second - Persepolis, the Iranian side, has to overcome a 2 goal deficit from the first leg in Japan. The match is getting into the news as some Iranian women have been allowed into the stadium to watch, and that's quite a change as for years they've been refused entry where it's been men playing.

Hi El 

I will be watch the first ever meeting in the Copa Libertadores football final, first leg between old enemies Boca Juniors and River Plate 

Supposed to be our equivalent of the European Cup Final but with malicious intent 

It’s gonna be cracker. Can’t wait 

I can’t see it ending 11 a side

I like Boca. That's Maradona. The fans run the clubs. And they are hostile.

 

Maradona was a one man football team. Anywhere. Let's say Napoli.

 

Messi doesn't come close.

It's the Overseas you want with Vacheron.

 

One day

Morning Buddies  

Cold, wet and windy here so I don’t intend to go anywhere 

 

El, the Copa Libertadores was postponed because of bad weather. It is due to be played at 7pm UK time today. So will be watching then, weather permitting 

 

Thought for the day...

Every inch a king, every foot a ruler 

Not one of mine I hasten to add 

 

Have a great day everyone  

Moonie
