Yogi, the choice of outfits here is very limited, the only other one is a Mr Blobby one and I prefer black to pink

 

Moonie, I hope it stays dry for you

 In that case, I’d stick with the black option

Thanks Yogi and El 

It did stay dry. Shopping and banking done, so cuppa and then off for a walk around the park 

 

Have a great day both 

 Glad to hear it

 Did someone play them afterwards?

Good morning everyone

 

Very cloudy here, dry for the time being. More unsettled weather forecast from this evening, not good news.

 

Squiggle, I hadn't spotted that there was a new series of the Repair Shop as it's shown at a time when I'm not watching television. I have seen some of it before and as you say it's fascinating

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone it's a bit windy again.  Looking forward to it getting a bit warmer. Talking of watching things being made is anyone else  watching the new series of the Repair Shop? It started on Monday and it's fascinating. 

 

Enjoy your day everyone  

yes have seen that and enjoyed it - but not the new ones

Good morning everyone it's a cloudy and cold morning.  The train with coloured lights was very effective. They had something similar on the North York Moors railway. There was a series earlier this year. I wonder if they do meals on the Norfolk one? These outings are so popular. Someone even had their wedding on one.  Our local line runs from Minehead down the coast through Watchet and Blue Anchor. I know you are familiar with those EL.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

 

Some sunshine here at present, rain expected soon.

 

Yogi, I'm glad you got your delivery

 

The Norfolk Lights Express journey is about 1 hour 20 minutes - 30 minutes each way with a 20 minute wait inbetween. Not only is the train lit up but there are light-up festive scenes nestled along the line. So passengers need to swap sides during the wait so that they get to see all the scenes.Refreshments and drinks are available.

 

Squiggle, yes, I do remember Blue Anchor and Watchet In those days we went to Bridgewater and then from Bridgewater to Blue Anchor. The line from Bridgewater was removed years ago.

 

Off out to a client meeting later this morning. Not a routine meeting as I've a lot of queries to go through on the work I've done so far.

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

Rain all night and early morning but it stopped and the sun came out when I was due for a GP appointment at 9-30. All went well there 

Got to the pharmacy too. The weather looks like the promise ‘all day rain’ is on its way though  

 

Hi squiggle 

Yogi, I hope your weather improves 

El, I trust your client’s appointment won’t  be to ‘taxing’  

 

Have a good day, all

Moonie, I'm glad all went well at your GP and that you avoided the rain

 

Back from that client. They will have to investigate a couple of things and come back to me.  For reasons of client confidentiality I can't go into details.

 

Was dry when I went to the client but started raining while I was there and is continuing to rain. Forecast is unsettled for quite some time. Those people who live on flood risk areas in my part of the country will be concerned. I don't live in such an area but know people who do. The rain isn't expected to be as heavy as that which caused the problems but the ground is now saturated.

I see that the Horror channel is showing a number of old horror films tomorrow from the Universal Pictures studios. Starts with the 1931 version of Dracula, then the 1931 version of Frankenstein, then the 1932 version of The Mummy, followed by the 1941 version of The Wolf Man. The 1954 Creature from the Black Lagoon is shown afterwards but that's not part of the classic Universal Studios horror films era.

 

Easily the best of those is Frankenstein. It's a very good film and is so iconic that people may think that they've seen the film but haven't. The Halliwell's Top 1000 films book rates this as the 41st best film ever made. The film would be nothing without Boris Karloff who makes the monster poignant rather than just a monster.

 

If I were to recommend just one horror film to watch in your lifetime it would be this one. Rated PG for mild horror and violence. It's repeated on Tuesday,
